The Inshore Fishing Association (IFA) Kayak Fishing Tour presented by Hobie Fishing has set an aggressive 2016 schedule. Ten events spread between five divisions offers plenty of action – and opportunities to qualify for the two-day championship (dates and location to be determined).

The catch-photo-release IFA Kayak Fishing Tour season kicks off in Punta Gorda, Florida on March 6, and doesn’t come to a close until September 25, in Georgetown, South Carolina. Registration opens on January 4 at www.ifatours.com.

This year, the IFA Kayak Fishing Tour is guaranteeing over 100 percent payback at every event, as well as the optional Angler’s Advantage program for those craving higher stakes.
