Lake Mackintosh Tournament Preview: Return of the Mack

Since 2020, when CKA and CCKF adopted the five fish limit, the two clubs have fished about seventy tournaments in North Carolina. In those seventy tournaments, nine limits of 100” or longer have been submitted to leaderboards. Of those nine limits, four of them came from Lake Mackintosh. The numbers are staggering. Lake Mackintosh has outproduced its nearest rival (Jordan) by twice the amount (four 100” limits to two). When it comes to delivering 100” limits to kayak anglers, Lake Mackintosh is the most productive fishery in North Carolina. And…

CKA Event preview: Lake Mackintosh

July 22, 2023 Presented by Faircloth Chimney Sweeps and Wildlife Removal   There is before and after. Before 2020, CKA had a three-fish limit. After 2020, CKA adopted a five fish limit. A new kayak fishing club (CCKF) that was founded that year did the same. Since those two North Carolina kayak fishing clubs adopted five fish limits, no lake in the state has produced more 100” limits than Lake Mackintosh. And it isn’t even close. From a total of 22 CCKF tournaments since 2020, Mackintosh has produced two of…
