• Long runs result in big days for Christie, others during opening round at Pasquotank/Albemarle Sound (bassmaster.com) — Big-name anglers are in our backyard this week for the Maxam Tire Bassmaster Elite on the Pasquotank River and Albemarle Sound, making risky long runs away from Elizabeth City for bigger bass. Jason Christie sits near the top of the leaderboard after a huge Day 1 bag, while shifting winds and saltier water are forcing competitors to hunt hard for fresh, fish-filled stretches.
