"Susky 5 Slama-Jama"

August 8-9 | Bloomsburg, PA
Awards @ Brewskis

If there was a current ranking for kayak fishing destinations, the Susquehanna River has to be at the top. A perennial powerhouse destination for the pound for pound toughest black bass species - the smallmouth bass.

Due to the power of the fish and the face-paced action that the Susky offers, we've dubbed this event the "Susky 5 Slama-Jama" in a play on words with the popular 1980s college basketball team that was nicknamed the Phi Slama Jama. The team was led by future NBA players and hall of famers, Clyde "the glide" Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon, as they took the country by storm. They were known for their slam dunking and explosive, fast-breaking style of play. It really is a style of play comparable to the Susquehanna River's faced-paced action and powerful smallmouth. The Phi Slama Jama may have started their best 5 players on the hardwoods, similarly you'll need to display your best 5 smallmouth to "cut down the nets" and take this title.

Hosted by Columbia Mountour Visitors Bureau with tournament headquarters at one of the coolest venues we've been to - Brewskis. This may be one of the biggest east coast kayak fishing parties the sport has ever seen because we're also teaming up with the Native Watercraft Big Bass No Limit Power Hour so you can double up on the Susky fun! Numerous other outdoor opportunities for the entire family are also close by so if you're bringing the family to this Slama-Jama, you might want to check out all the area offers!
