The only kayak fishing specific awards!

Kayak Anglers Choice Awards (KACA) is a joint venture between YakAngler.com and KayakFishingRadio.com. Each year kayak anglers from across the globe nominate and vote for their favorites in various categories like Kayak Angler of the year, Kayak Fishing Guide of the year, Kayak of the year, and more. The KACA are the only kayak fishing specific awards driven solely by kayak anglers.

Nominations for the KACA run from June 1st to July  31st. 

Votes for the Kayak Anglers Choice Awards will be taken from September 10th- October 10th. KACA polls will only be active during the voting and nominations phases.

Due high levels of suspicious voting activity, users will only be allowed to vote once.

This award consists only of the said Title and the admiration and respect of your fellow Kayak Anglers. There is no money or other considerations involved. This award is not intended as an offer of sponsorship or employment by KayakFishingRadio or YakAngler.com and there is no responsibility or obligation on your part to either entity or them to you. You will own the bragging rights to the Title until the following year's Choice Awards.
