Battle on the Border IV recap: Nelson Delivers for N.C.

The 4th annual edition of the Battle on the Border was a year of firsts. At the check-in, for example, former Carolina Kayak Anglers (CKA) director Wayne Butler showed anglers a photo of a Smallmouth Bass he caught that day. It was the first one caught in our four years of kayak fishing competition at Kerr Lake. It wasn’t the only first of the day.

Tournament Recap: Shearon Harris Event 1

We never thought we would have to write these words: yesterday, we ran an event following CDC and North Carolina Health Department Pandemic Prevention Regulations.
