The Nature Coast Challenge is a Catch, Photograph, and Release Kayak Fishing Tournament held in Yankeetown, Florida –Hosted by the Inglis Yankeetown Lions Club. Yankeetown is located on the west coast of Florida where the Withlacoochee River flows into the Withlacoochee Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. The 3rd Annual Nature Coast Challenge will be Saturday April 26, 2014 --- Captain’s Meeting Friday

April 25 2014 7:00 pm. Moving into the third year of the tournament the plan is to continue to learn fast and grow into one of the finest Kayak Fishing Tournaments in Florida. This is possible because kayak fishing is one of the fastest growing sports and Yankeetown is the perfect venue! Many Florida residents have no clue where the Withlacoochee and the Waccassa Bays are located. But those who regularly fish these rich, uncrowded waters know it’s the perfect place to spend a spring day in a kayak or canoe! Currently awards are $200.00 for the longest redfish, $200.00 for the longest sea trout, $200.00 for the longest redfish / sea trout slam, and new this year is a mixed bag prize of $200.00!! These are the minimum awards guaranteed to be paid. It is our expectation and intent, based on increased participation and sponsorships, to increase either the number of award categories, the dollar amounts or both before the start of this year’s tournament. There are also door prizes and more! For more information visit wwww.naturecoastchallenge.com
