The second Massachusetts Kayak Bassin' event of 2020!

We will be fishing New Bedford Reservoir in Achushnet for this one. There are two parking areas along Lake Street, and three bodies of water to fish.

The two sections (1 and 2) on the northern side of the road have ramps, so please please park on the side you intend to fish. If you choose to fish the southern section (3), you'll need to portage across the street and launch roadside.

Though this will be similar to our normal live events, it will be run as an online/virtual event, with no pre- or post-event gathering. Everything will be done online to adhere to social-distancing requirements and guidelines.

Please wear masks and keep a safe distance from each other on and off the water.

Watercraft permitted for use during competition are limited to kayaks, canoes, or similar crafts propelled by paddle, pedal, or electric motor.

No gasoline-powered boats, sailboats, john boats, float tube, pontoon boat, or similar craft will be permitted.

No pre-fishing two days prior to the event.

Early Launch: 5:45 AM

Tournament Hours: 6 AM to 2 PM

Entry Fee: $50 *
Optional Pickerel Lunker Fee: $10

* Approximately $7 from all entry fees goes toward paying TourneyX and PayPal fees.

As a proud Kayak Bass Fishing partner, MAKB has adopted Kayak Bass Fishing's Competition Rules Standards. However, we do a few things differently, which you can read in our Rules Addendum.

All anglers are expected to read, understand, and adhere to these rules.

Special Notes for This Event:

1. The three-digit identifier code will be randomly generated and will go live on TourneyX on Friday, June 19, at 8 PM. It will also be e-mailed and posted on Facebook.

2. Anglers are allowed to leave and move to a new section (1, 2 or 3) during the event

3. There is a small section on the southern side of the road, directly across from the smaller northern section (2). This is off limits. No fishing in that section.

4. The standings will be turned off at noon, two hours before the end of the event. Submissions will be judged that evening and the winner will be announced that night or Sunday afternoon.

5. If you enter the optional pickerel lunker pool, please upload all pickerel to TourneyX as you would a bass, but choose Chain Pickerel for the fish type when submitting.

All pickerel submissions will be denied to remove them from the main standings. They are still visible for judging, however.

6. You may use fish grips while measuring pickerel (only pickerel). Just make sure the grips do not block where the nose of the fish touches the fence of the measuring board.

We will also not deduct for mouths open on pickerel. If there is a tie, anglers will split the pool evenly.

7. Anglers are not allowed to fish with non-competitors. Leave your friends at home.
