CKA Tournament #7: Reese & Lucas

Saturday, August 22, 2020

CKA has not fished the Asheboro lakes since the spring of 2014, but now we return to our roots with a multi-lake event on these beautiful fisheries. This will be a multi-launch event with a later time limit to ensure that anglers all begin fishing at the same times after launching from these single ramp lakes. As we have done all year, this is a virtual tournament, meaning there will be no in person check-in or meeting, and all anglers must use TourneyX to check in and check out.
