Welcome to the Long Island Kayak Bass Fishing Club! 
 

LIKBF was started in 2016. Long Island Kayak Bass Fishing is an official partner club to the largest kayak fishing community in the nation called KBF - Kayak Bass Fishing.
 

Tournament Fishing From a Kayak?
You will find that we are a friendly group of anglers who enjoy sharing passion for kayak fishing with one another. That being said, we also enjoy friendly competition.  We are a Tournament fishing club who fish from our Kayaks/Canoes rather than a bass boat like most would see. Instead of keeping fish in a live well, we Catch, Photograph and Release (CPR). How does that work? Well, we use an online Tournament Management system called Fishing Chaos. What we do is we take a photograph of the fish on a measuring device called a Ketch Board, and we upload and submit the photo to the Fishing Chaos APP and add the measurement of each fish. So at the end of the day our tournaments are based on total inches instead of a live way in of pounds. What this does is the fish gets released back into the water as quickly as possible and not kept inside a live-well all day.
