Kingfisher Angling Club Trip Policies and Guidelines
Club Board
Kingfisher Angling Club of Southern California (aka KFAC) is currently governed by a 3 member board to make decisions, handle finances and set standards for membership and fishing charters.
The current Board consists of a Charter Master, a President and a Director. In the event any board member becomes unable to serve, the remaining board member may appoint a replacement.
Membership Guidelines
Membership is open to anyone age 18 or older. Minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at any club function. To participate, an angler must be 16 years of age minimum. Excessive alcohol consumption, drug use or offensive behavior shall be grounds to revoke any membership and/or ban club participation. Membership dues are not refundable.
All members, including the board, shall not receive compensation of any kind for participating in any club function outside of reimbursement for authorized club supplies. All club or board members are volunteers only and are not reimbursed in any way for their volunteer efforts.
The KFAC board reserves the right to deny any application for membership or renewal for any reason.
Liability Disclaimer:
By participating you agree that all members, including board members of Kingfisher Angling Club of Southern California are to be held harmless for any and all claims of any type including negligence, personal injury, damage, theft, or loss of property incurred while participating in any club function or sponsored activity and/or any violations pertaining to any state laws or regulations governing sport fishing. You agree with the above statement and do so of your own free will.
Club Policies Regarding Trip Payments
U.S. based trips:
Fishing charter fees must be paid in full at least 30 calendar days prior to departure date. Payment can be made at a monthly meeting, check by mail, or online at the clubs website through Paypal with a debit or credit card or ZELLE with your bank app. Cancellations within 30 days of departure are non-refundable. If a cancelling angler provides a substitute angler, that substitute has to be approved by the club board and has to pay the angler who cancelled. The club is not responsible for transactions between anglers.
Mexico trips: Deposits are required immediately at the time of sign up. Balances are due 45 days prior to trip date. There are no refunds of any kind, period. Substitutions are allowed with approval of the club board. Substitutes are to pay the cancelling angler directly. The club is not responsible for transactions between anglers. Vendors who make these amazing trips happen have to be paid ahead of time. NO EXCEPTIONS. It is strongly suggested that trip insurance be purchased to protect your financial investment in these trips. Trip insurance can be purchased for about $115.00 and covers other needs when out of country, should those become necessary.
Jackpots
The sport fishing boats we charter may offer a jackpot contest. Members can participate in the boats jackpot for a fee. KFAC is not responsible for the boats jackpot contest, its outcome or policies.
Amendments to Club Policies and Guidelines
These policies and guidelines shall only be amended by a vote of the KFAC board.
