Elite Kayak Fishing Gets Harpooned!
At Elite Kayak Fishing, we pride ourselves on doing things a bit different. Focusing on the community aspect of our sport and striving to ensure that every person that fishes our events has fun and gets a chance to meet anglers from around the region.
For 2022, we are pleased to announce a brand-new title sponsor, one we think lines up with these ideals perfectly, and one who will help us make this season unforgettable!
Harpoon Brewery is an employee-owned business out of Boston. You may have heard of them. They received brewing permit #001 in Massachusetts in 1986 and have been helping shape the craft beer industry in the Northeast and across the country for over three decades.
Like we wanted to change the scope of tournaments in our region, Harpoon has changed the scope of the brewing industry. Love Beer. Love Life. A motto that they live by, and a motto that we at Elite Kayak Fishing can get behind.
So for 2022, look forward to awesome things from our partners. We will be working very closely with all of them to ensure that this is the best season this region has ever seen!
Now go out and grab a Harpoon Big League because you have made it!

Savur Outdoors Partners with Elite Kayak Fishing
Elite Kayak Fishing is pleased to announce Savur Outdoors as a series partner for the 2021 fishing season!
Savur Outdoors offers retrieval devices designed to recover lost fishing rods, action cameras, and fishing bows. We’ve all had days on the water where the conditions were challenging, only to get back to shore and discover an expensive piece of gear is missing. Using the same science behind inflatable lifejackets, Savur’s products deploy a float with sixty feet of fishing line attached, allowing you to recover your gear. If your gear is submerged, Savur’s floats are reloadable, allowing you to get multiple uses out of the same product.
Savur Outdoors provides options made to fit a wide range of fishing rods in a variety of different color combinations. The action camera float integrates into existing camera mounts, preventing any obstacles from capturing your adventures on the water. The gear float attaches with a key ring to anything you don’t want Davy Jones keeping.
We are excited to be working with Savur Outdoors and we will be giving away some of their floats during our events for the 2021 season!

Three Belles manager, Lauren Furey, is as passionate about this sport as any of the competitors. When asked about partnering with Elite Kayak Fishing, Lauren said, “We are excited to partner with EKF. Their dedication to growing the sport of kayak fishing and creating a dedicated kayak fishing trail series for the Northeast region is a game changer. Their pioneering spirit and future plans for EKF matched TBO’s core principles, all of which provides an amazing opportunity for growth and support in the Northeast.”
The motto at Three Belles Outfitters is “life is always better on the water,” and we couldn’t agree more, which is why this elite kayak outfitter was the obvious choice for the Elite Kayak Fishing trail!
