AOY/ROY update

The race for Angler of the Year has tightened up, with Will Lambert and Sammy Wilson Jr. closing ground on Joey Sullivan. Could Sammy achieve a combined ROY & AOY title? Can Joey regain his momentum?

On the ROY side, there will be even more movement as the best 4 scores for each angler will change over the coming weeks. One bad day, or one great day, can change each race. We will find…

Randleman Lake June 22nd, 2019   Overview Welcome anglers to Event #5 of the 2019 CKA tournament season, and welcome back to one of our favorite lakes!

Tuckertown Recap!

Tuckertown Recap!

We rarely hold tournaments at Tuckertown, a lake that we took a chance on this year having only fished once there before. The gamble paid off. Storms swept through the area Friday, breaking a long heat wave. Low humidity, cool air temperatures and cool water temperatures greeted the 60 anglers showed up to a perfect morning with a strong bite. How strong was it? 91.6% of the field submitted fish (55 out of 60) 47 out of 60 anglers submitted limits More than one-third of the field caught over 50”…
