This raw drone footage shot from a flight by Jameson Redding gives you a look at what it was like when the North Alabama Kayak Anglers launched at their first event of the year in 2015 at Mud Creek BBQ.

The NAKA season starts in a little over a week from now on March 25th on Lake Guntersville.  Who’s ready?

I remember making the drive from South Huntsville to Hollywood and passing dozens of kayak anglers loaded up, stopped at gas stations, and pulling off onto US Highway 72.  As a tournament director, it was an exciting sight knowing that anglers were coming from so many different areas of Alabama to fish and that the event would be well attended.  That day, we had 60 anglers at our event making it the largest kayak bass fishing tournament in Alabama to date.  NAKA would break that record in 2016 with 89 anglers at their Open event.

Does the video get you pumped to fish some events in Alabama?  Check out our Alabama kayak fishing events listing page and go fishing.

Here’s our 2017 NAKA Season Preview.

Also, are we ever going to see any more common launch tournaments?  (Hint, hint!)
