AOY/ROY update

It is mid-season, and the latest AOY/ROY update is posted! In the file linked below, the anglers who paid the member fee to retain points are listed first (1-50), while those who did not are listed below them.

CKA Event #4 Tuckertown Reservoir

Overview Welcome anglers to Event #4 of the 2019 CKA tournament season. The tournament will be held on Tuckertown Reservoir.

It sets up well for both river and lake fishing, and the…
