As a proud Kayak Bass Fishing partner, MAKB has adopted KBF’s Competition Rules Standards. All anglers are expected to read, understand, and adhere to these rules.

Special notes for this event:

1. The pre- and post-tournament meet-up location for this event is the Walmart on route 44 in Raynham. We'll meet in the front lot.

2. The boundaries for this event are from the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant on Cleary Flood Drive  to Plymouth Street in Bridgewater (click for links).

3. Anglers may fish all ponds and tributaries to the first impassable barrier within those boundaries.

4. The Taunton River is tidal. This is unique for us. The water levels in the river fluctuate roughly three feet between low and high tide.  Please consider this when entering shallow areas, anchoring, or fishing around areas that might generate strong current.

On July 7, low tide will be at 10:37 AM, and the next high tide will be at 4:46 PM.
