CKA Tournament #4 High Rock/Randleman

CKA EVENT 4

High Rock / Randleman

May 30, 2020

Welcome everyone to Event #4 of the CKA season! This year, CKA hosts a KBF Trail for the first time since 2018, this one in the new Mid-Atlantic Region (see more info below). And we fish on two of our favorite lakes, at the same time: High Rock, the big Yadkin Chain Impoundment, and Randleman Reservoir, a young lake that is at peak fertility. Both lakes have produced legendary events in years past. Which will be the better lake this year? Let’s fish them and find out!

Do NOT use the TourneyX generated code.

3. Format and Rules

The CKA event will largely follow KBF rules. Therefore, anglers must be familiar with and follow KBF rules as well as all North Carolina fishing laws and local regulations as they apply. Rules can be found at the link below:

Note: Be sure to update your phone so that browsers and apps run well. CKA Directors cannot be expected to solve technical problems with phones. If you are using the TourneyX app, be sure to download the TourneyX Pro app to replace the older app, which is now obsolete. Be sure also that all phone settings are set to allow TourneyX access to picture data. If you use a web browser to upload to TourneyX, make sure the browser settings in your phone’s privacy features allow the site to access your location. Any and all photos submitted without GPS catch data will be denied.

Upload photos early from the water so that CKA directors can contact you if there is a question or problem with your submissions.
