#4 Fall King of the Beach
The Old Salt Fall King of the Beach is back this weekend! King of the Beach is one of the largest, richest and, certainly, most exciting king mackerel fishing tournaments in the United States. Falling on the heels of two devestating hurricanes, the Fall KING will go on… on a slightly smaller, old school scale. Their normal tournament field is not accessible so Pro Marine Boat Sales stepped up and will be hosting the event at their facilities in the Bay Pines area of St. Petersburg. Live weigh-in on YouTube.
