Louisiana's Best Kept Fall Fishing Secret - BCKFC's "Fall N Tide" Kaya
Often overlooked by football and other Fall events, October offers some of the consistently best fishing in South Louisiana. As the temperature cools, fish move in-shore to the warmer waters of shallow marshes all over the Louisiana coast from Delacroix to Point-Aux-Chenes creating an epic bite known by anglers from all over.
For the past 15 years, this has been the setting of the Bayou Coast Kayak Fishing Club's "Fall n Tide" kayak fishing tournament. Registered anglers can fish any waters of Grand Isle, Plaquemines, and LaFourche parishes with either a pedal or paddle powered kayak. Try to land the biggest combination of a single Redfish, Trout, and Flounder - called a "Grand Slam"! Awards and recognition are also given to largest single species in Men's, Women's, and Kids' categories - it's fun for the whole family!
The winner takes home a new kayak, a trophy and the reputation of one of South Louisiana's best kayak anglers!
The Backpacker and Hobie have teamed up to provide the first place prize for the past 17 years and this year's top prize is a 2022 Camo Hobie Mirage Outback! 2nd and 3rd place winners will take home The Backpacker gift cards.
