The King of the Beach festival is so much more than just fishing. It is a 3 day event with all types of marine and art vendors, a food festival with local flavor. Friday night is Community Night with our Kids Fishing Slam, live music, boat displays and a kids zone. “Combining a community food festival and live music into our tournament seamed natural to us. Fishing is part of our community, so we welcome all to join us,” says Old Salt President Tom Verdensky.
The event will be held at the Madeira Beach Recreation Complex at 200 Rex Place, Madeira Beach. We have ample FREE parking with a FREE Ferry shuttle to the event, with a special thanks to Hubbard’s Marina.
The 2018 Old Salt Fall King of the Beach Kingfish Tournament running November 8-10, 2018 in Madeira Beach, Florida will host in excess of 600 fishing teams from Texas to North Carolina.

Our rich prize packages draw competitive anglers from across the southeast U.S., Florida and our surrounding locales. More anglers means more money for the winners and our charities & programs.
