The Halifax Sport Fishing Club ( HSFC ) was established in August 1967 and is a registered not-for-profit organization .

In addition , the club has a ‘ Kids Can Fish Too ’ program , and also hosts a series of family-friendly events , including talks on fishing , safety and conservation . The members also organize a couple of offshore fishing trips each year .
The members have dedicated their efforts to a mission based on two guiding principles :
1 . Promoting responsible fishing and safe boating in east central Florida estuaries and Atlantic coastal waters . 2 . Providing valuable community services to improve the lives of those around us .
The club is grateful for support from local businesses , including Atlantic Marine , The Fishin Hole , Down the Hatch Restaurant , Evan ’ s Mechanical , Energy Air , Sea Spirit , Bob ’ s Discount , Sea Tow , a number of charter captains and many more . Club meetings are usually the third Thursday of each month and are open to the public .
