CKA Tournament 6 Kerr Lake (Bugg’s Island), NC/VA

The Battle on the Border July 13th, 2019  Overview We enter uncharted waters here for CKA anglers.

Shearon Harris Fish Habitat Restoration

We invite CKA anglers to participate in this great project to improve fishing at Shearon Harris Reservoir.

By participating in this project, anglers will work with other volunteers (including other fishing clubs) to improve fish habitat at one of the nation’s most famous Largemouth bass fisheries. This is a great opportunity for CKA members to show that kayak anglers support…
