Welcome to SouthNY Kayak Anglers (SNYKA)

SNYKA is dedicated to promoting the enjoyment of kayak fishing through a variety of organized activities, including derby, camping and fishing trips, and monthly events. Our Club is built on a sense of community where enthusiasts can come together to share knowledge, skills, and a passion for the sport in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

 

At the heart of SNYKA is our commitment to maintaining a non-competitive atmosphere. If you’re looking for a competitive fishing club, we encourage you to explore Kayak Bass Fishing websites, where you’ll find many fantastic clubs that offer incredible opportunities to compete with fellow anglers.

Club Events

Fishing Derby

The Club will host four annual kayak fishing tournaments. These events are designed to be educational, enjoyable, and inclusive for all members, regardless of experience. The tournaments will be team-based, with each member paired with a less experienced participant to provide guidance. The team's score will be the average of both members' catches, and the winning team will be determined by the highest combined score.

Monthly Virtual Derby

The Club will hold Monthly Virtual Tournaments with handicaps applied to experienced anglers to ensure all members can compete effectively. 

Camping and Fishing Trips

The Club will organize two camping and fishing trips annually, allowing members to connect with nature, enhance their fishing skills, and build stronger bonds with fellow members. These trips are family-friendly and include a mix of outdoor activities and free time for fishing.

Local and Impromptu Gatherings

Join spontaneous local kayak fishing outings with smaller member sub-groups. These quick trips are organized by teams, each with their own nickname and a designated contact person. Make sure to check the schedule frequently, as updates are posted daily.
