Carolina Kayak Anglers Welcomes Native Watercraft Back for the 2020 Season

North Carolina’s very own Native Watercraft has been a perennial sponsor of CKA events, donating a new kayak to our AOY race nearly every season and providing assorted gear to our anglers.

Bigguns for the Dunns Update

When we asked everyone to step up and catch some bigguns, we were thinking as much in terms of big moral support as well as actual fish. You all crushed the moral support angle, raising $2600 to date through this event and then you went out and crushed some real bigguns. Have a look at the top 3 bags on the Tourneyx Leaderboard – they are impressive, to say the least! We are happy to see everyone having fun and being safe on the water. Submissions have gone smoothly, too,…
