Got back to my home state from my third NC, which was at Lake Guntersville, AL. This was a much smaller field than previous years (300), but I must say the lake it was held on was far above the other two venues I attended (Kentucky Lake and Caddo and surrounding lakes) for quality of fishing. I made the top 100 this year and the folks around Lake Guntersville were totally into fishing and learning something about kayak. One of the top finishers even saved a young girls life during the tournament after she flipped her SINK. I recommend attending one of these if you qualify- it is a blast and you meet many great people on and off the water.
