Please make sure that you look at the rules, there are a couple of tweeks as we are following Kayak Anglers rules.

For Angler of the Year for MAKBF we will base the points off of the finish positions of those that are members in the MAKBF. If the first place MAKBF member finishes third overall then they are the first place MAKBF member for AOY points.

A couple of items that were answered by KA already:

You can pay and register any time before the event on the kayakfishingseries.com site under Kayak Anglers of Central PA August 5 event. After paying in the top section be sure to scroll down and hit register so you show up on the angler list.

Feel free to contact me direct if you have any questions! Thanks! Mike Reinhold

KBF Membership for those that Qualify

Only SIX DAYS LEFT!!

We wanted to make sure everybody was aware that if you are hoping to get one of the five qualifying spots from our series this year for the 2018 KBF National Championship you need to be a 2017 KBF member by 7/31/2017. Our spots go to the top five in the Angler of the Year standings at the end of the year, but if it looks like you might end up a spot or two out of that don't forget that we could have some roll-downs. It looks like Jed will end up in the top 5, but he is already qualified through his finish in this year's national championship.

The link below is where you can purchase the 2017 KBF membership. If you have any questions please let us know.
