Season 8 started off with a bang on February 19th 2022. We opened the season on Lake Norman with the support of Visit Mooresville and The Pit Indoor Kart Racing. 146 anglers signed up for the event which was our season opener record and also the Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing stand alone event record. We have had higher, but it included a double dip event. Native Watercraft was excited to make this the largest season ever and we are off to a good start! Todd Sides Real Estate Agent NC was our presenting sponsor for Event 1 and he has been super excited for that opportunity for a long time. The weather yesterday was a mixed bag, as was the fishing. The morning started off cool and calm with bright sun. Anglers were choosing where to fish from the 11 Lake Norman ramps. Most were anticipating high winds in the afternoon, and we taking that into consideration. The weather changed for the worse around noon. The wind kicked up, creating some tough conditions, but also led to the fish turning on and the actual fishing improving for most of the field. We fished from 8:00-4:00pm yesterday and then over 100 anglers met at The Pit for a weigh in ceremony with food, drinks and snacks. I was lucky enough to be on a media boat captained by Wes Cloninger. I hired a professional photographer and we drove all over the lake take amazing shots of the anglers. Those pictures will be released tomorrow. Mary Ferreri and William Benini were judging fish all day, start to finish. We ended the day with 146 anglers, 334 fish, 39 limits and 40 skunks. I was on the Carolina Kayak Lunker Hunters Podcast last week and I said on the show we would see some big bags this weekend on Norman, and I think I was right.

In first place with 76.25, Mark Wilkins goes home with $2000! Mark was also fishing from his Native Watercraft so he takes home another $50 bonus cash! Congrats on qualifying* for the 2022 TOC as well!

Thank you all sponsors for supporting Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing!!

Today Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing took its club full of hammers to the Mud Bowl, or the Foothills Clash, or the Foothills Frolic….. Ok, we went to Hickory, Rhodhiss and Lookout shoals. We were once again challenged by Mother Nature. She dropped about 3 inches of rain on the Foothills Thursday, completely blowing out the system. Most water was zero visibility, with a few creeks having some clean spots. The day ended with an intense thunderstorm that dropped hail on the weigh in building. 2021 has been tough on fisherman for sure. Nonetheless, we had 115 anglers come fish the first Multi Lake Event of 2021. The club is averaging 119 anglers per event at this point as we swing into some better fishing hopefully. Valuable points are on the line at every event, and I love seeing anglers show up for those points. We had a weigh in today, we ate, drank, laughed and cut up. What a good time!! When we decided to start getting serious and paying out some money, this is how it went down!! Home Lake advantage really came into play this month. Austin Vang aka Hammer Time took home the win today!!! He had a solid bag of 69.25 and won $1400!!! Not bad for $58! Right behind him with 67.75 inches, growing up on the lake, the man himself, Matt Hawj Matt took home $810!

This event was brought to Queen City Kayak Bass Fishing by My Man the Handyman. 141 is the new club record for an event, and it wouldn’t be the only record that was set today!The area was hit with amazing 80 degree weather last week, and in true QC fashion, a cold front rolled in this weekend and dropped temps into the 40s and 50s. Anglers were sending reports of 85 inch bags in practice, with kickers coming in the 23 and 24inch range. Anglers were excited to give it their best 8 hours. We took off at 6:30am this morning, with a first cast of 7:00am. Half of the lake was battling major wind, with 3 foot rollers, and the other half was glass calm. We had another angler end up in the water this morning due to crazy wind and waves. He is fine, some missing gear, a broken mirage drive, but he’s fine. The leader board was busy today. Mary Ferreri and Brad Cox do an amazing job keeping the leader board up to date, with accurate judging all day. 263 fish came across the board today, with 98 anglers submitting a fish, and 42 anglers skunking.

House keeping……Service issues. We leave 60 minutes at the end of the day. These 60 minutes are supposed to be used to take care of your service issues, or whatever you may need issues. This time is really not meant for you to stroll back to the landing, and if you do use it for that, you risk not getting your fish in by last submission time. We had some major service issues today, and it cost someone $900. Please understand that getting your fish in, or getting in front of a judge is a personal responsibility and very important in kayak fishing. Event 4 is only 3 weeks away as we travel to the Foothills. This will be a multi lake event! Hickory, Rhodhiss and Lookout shoals! Lets break 141!
