Just days after wrapping their regular season, B.A.S.S. officials announced the schedule for the 2024 Bassmaster Kayak Series.
The fifth season of the will include five stops in five states and, for the second year in a row, will feature all two-day events.
“Kayak fishing for bass is as popular as it’s ever been,” said Kayak Series tournament director Steve Owens. “People buy kayaks for a lot of different reasons. Some don’t want the responsibility of tending to a bass boat. Others just love the freedom a kayak provides for entering places that are off-limits to many others.
“That’s why the technology for kayak bass fishing has improved so much – and why so many people are anxious to compete from one.”
The Top 5 anglers from each event, plus several dozen from the Bassmaster Kayak Series Angler of the Year standings, will be invited to compete in the championship, which will be held at a date and time to be announced later. Anglers will earn points in every regular-season tournament, with their lowest finish dropped to determine the final Angler of the Year standings.
The kayak championship is held each year in conjunction with the Bassmaster Classic, with the anglers' weights announced on the Classic stage.
Here's a look at the schedule:
> Feb. 24-25, Lake Murray, Columbia, S.C.
