    Texas Kayak Championship (TKC) 2021 Rules Welcome to TKC, a higher entry, higher level kayak bass fishing series based in Texas. We strive to provide the highest competition and highest payouts our state has to offer in the sport. With Kris Morales, Andrew Jacobson and Joseph Sanderson at the reigns, the trail is to run smoothly with both extensive fishing and tournament directing experience. 1) General Liability TKC, nor the 3 administrators, assume any responsibility for the health and well being of the anglers who wish to participate. Participate at your own risk. Anglers are responsible for equipping themselves and their kayak with the proper safety equipment as necessary per the U.S. Coast guard standards. Any angler not following these guidelines will be disqualified from the tournament immediately. In case of hazardous weather, any of the administrators reserve the right to postpone, or cancel, the event as deemed necessary. If the event is canceled, competitors will be refunded their entry fee. If an angler must cancel prior to the tournament, they must do so 48 hours before the event, before payouts are finalized. If an angler cancels within 48 hours of the tournament start time, they will not be refunded their entry. If deemed an emergency, this will be reviewed on a case by case basis with the administrators. 2) Participation and Eligibility There will be a virtual captain’s meeting on the TKC Facebook page the night before the tournament at 7:00 p.m. You MUST watch the captain’s meeting. If it is found out that you do not watch the meeting, and you are in the money, you are SUBJECT TO DISQUALIFICATION.

  • 12-Mistakes-Kayak-Anglers-Make.Pdf
    12 MISTAKES KAYAK ANGLERS MAKE 12 Mistakes Kayak Anglers Make Mistake #1: Buying the Wrong Kayak, Buying Accessories You Don't Need We always recommend our customers try the kayak model they're interested in before they buy it. Why? Even though your friends love theirs, and even though you see how awesome they are on social media, you don't know if it's the right boat for you and the way you fish. Most full service kayak dealers have a rental program, and most if not all will apply the rental fee to the purchase of a kayak. It's a risk-free proposition. The same thing applies to kayak accessories. We recommend buying the basics up front, including a PFD, anchor/stake out pole, paddle, rod holder (if the kayak doesn't come with one), and Coast Guard compliant 360 degree light (if you'll fish at night). Then we recommend they fish out of their kayak several times to determine whether they need other and more expensive accessories. - Marcos Garza, Fishing Tackle Unlimited, www.fishingtackleunlimited.com @marcosgarza07 Mistake #2: Failing to Plan for the Weather People push themselves past their physical limits relating to the length of their paddle and the weather conditions for the day. Don't look for the daily forecast, find a more in depth forecast that gives hourly information. Wind Finder app, for example. Also, don't force a trip. If the forecast is bad, stay off the water. Once you've decided to go, plan your trip around the wind/weather for the day.

My “vote” is to ban all boat traffic, commercial or otherwise, from the river. From my standpoint, it is disgusting to see a plastic object like a kayak violating the natural beauty of this rare stream. So, I am against any further degradation of this wild area from an expansion of the stretches where paddling is permitted. Thanks for the opportunity to have my say.
