The Southern Region, Area 1 Boy Scouts Council has announced that their upcoming kayak fishing tournament has received a significant sponsorship, and cash prizes will now be awarded. However, the tournament organizers are still looking for more kayak anglers (up to 75 allowed) to sign up. These lakes are not public and for that reason, there are some VERY big bass, crappie and bluegill waiting to be caught!
