Lake Badin - Kayak Fishing for Bass - Uwharrie National Forest - New London, NC - QCKBF Tournament 3

This tournament was a dealer's choice between the four major lakes on the the Yadkin River Chain: High Rock Lake, Tuckertown Reservoir, Lake Badin, and Lake Tillery. After a highly unsuccessful day of pre-fishing on High Rock, I decided to roll the dice and try my luck on unfamiliar water...
