Hickory proved to be a surprise last season when we fished it for the first time on our tournament trail. The lake gave up several large limits during the post-spawn period and many anglers expressed an interest in fishing it again. So let\u2019s see how it fishes during the pre-spawn\/early spawn phase of the season. Let\u2019s also see if CKA Tournament Director Wayne Butler \u2013 the only CKA staff member to ever win a single angler event \u2013 can defend his Hickory crown from last season or top the 58.5\u201d limit he posted!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is a Multi Launch event (the 5 ramps listed below are the only legal launches).<\/li>\n<li>Anglers are to remain within 30 yards of the launch area prior to the 6:45am start time. Anglers may have kayaks in the water but will not be permitted to leave early to get to fishing areas.<\/li>\n<li>Blank identifiers will be available for print approximately one week prior to the event (we recommend printing a few extras).<\/li>\n<li>Unique identifier CODE will be released Friday 3\/30 after 9:00pm EST. We will provide instructions at that time how to populate the identifier.<\/li>\n<li>TourneyX sign up <em>will be cutoff on Friday 3\/30 at 10:00pm EST.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>This will be the season\u2019s first multi-launch event, so budget time for travel from your launch to check in. Remember you must be present at the Wittenburg check in by 3:15 pm.<\/li>\n<li>Photographs will not be uploaded after that time, manually or otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>TourneyX Sign Up: <a href=\"https:\/\/tourneyx.com\/app\/tourney\/cka-2018-event-2-lake-hickory\">https:\/\/tourneyx.com\/app\/tourney\/cka-2018-event-2-lake-hickory<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong><u>Event Info<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"233\">Sign up<\/td>\n<td width=\"233\">Tourneyx<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"233\">Fee<\/td>\n<td width=\"233\">$50.00 Entry (includes H.O.W, TourneyX, Big Fish fees)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"233\">Event Date<\/td>\n<td width=\"233\">March 31<sup>st<\/sup> 2018<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"233\">Format<\/td>\n<td width=\"233\">3 fish (8\u201d minimum).
