What does this mean? The LIKBF Club as a whole has a right to vote and revoke anyone's membership if they are causing issues within the club or is otherwise deemed not suitable for a particular position or membership.

Want to fish an Event prior to paying dues? We also offer Open Events throughout the season that are open to everyone without the requirement of paying dues. These are great opportunities to fish with the Club and to see what we are all about.

LIKBF hosts monthly in person meetings the first Tuesday of each Month. Though meetings are not mandatory to be a member, we strongly encourage attendance, especially if you wish to be involved with the decision making of the club's direction.

  Everyone joins LIKBF for different reasons. We are a competitive tournament kayak fishing club, but you do not have to fish every tournament to be a member. Some members just want to make friends, others to compete, some looking to find something in common with others, or to become a better angler. LIKBF wants you to take from the club what you want and just find your niche. LIKBF offers many options for the kayak angler. Our club will allow and challenge you to compete on a local, regional and national level, share stories which all anglers love to do, or just get out. But one thing we do know. You will make some great memories and new friends that will last a lifetime.
