Does anybody know of any fishing kayak tournaments in the western PA region? I’m looking to do tournaments for the first time this year and was hoping to get more information.

•  

All the tournaments i keep finding online are internet tournaments where you upload the picture and size. These internet tournaments are all super confusing. Does anybody use TourneyX? This app is super confusing to me. Was hoping to join a traditional tournament with other fellow kayak anglers.
 

Im new to tournament fishing and really really want to check out the tournament scene. Thanks in advance!

Hey Josh. I don't fish tournaments but I am a supporting member of Kayak Anglers of Western PA. That's where I would start. I would join the facebook group and ask questions there. But these are the guys you want to be involved with.

 

KAYAK ANGLERS

 

Their tournament schedule this year:

 

• 4/30 Bass On the Bay - Presque Isle Erie, PA
• 5/21 Shriner’s Team Challenge (non AOY) Erie, PA
• 6/11 Battle at the Border - Pymatuning Linesville, PA
• 7/23 No Electronics/Paddle only (non AOY) TBA
• 8/6 Clarion River Throwdown Clarion, PA
• 8/27 KAWPA Classic - Lake Arthur Portersville, PA
• 9/17 River’s Edge Steel City Classic Leechburg, PA

There is always the option of doing Nationwide tourneys and there is always plenty of them going on. I know KBF does a month long tournament for the state you live in. You can go as much as you want in a that month within your state as long as you go to public accessible water. 

 

Im also new to tournaments and just signed up for my first one, it is through KBF and is Catch22. The goal is to catch 22 fish in 2022,its to raise awareness of 22 veterans committing suicide daily.  The cool thing you have all of 2022 to complete it, its $22 to enter, read more here. https://www.kayakbassfishing.com.
