Fishermen and women get ready for Cabela’s KingKat
tournament in Mid August. While this event may change dates from year to year
one thing is certain; it is a highlight of the year for anglers. Catfish anglers have traveled from all around for the
invitational Cabela’s KingKat tournament, which was held on Pickwick and Wilson
Lakes. Angler's in the tournament were competing for a spot to fish the Cabela’s
KingKat Classic to be held on Pickwick and Wilson Lakes in October.
Once again anglers joined others, this year at Kentucky's Green River Lake for the Crappie USA Tournament in June for a qualifying event at the Holmes Bend Marina and Resort on Kentucky's Green River Lake. While the anglers were out fishing for the biggest catch children were also enjoying the tournament's kids activities like the Kids Fishing Rodeo. During this event kids, 12 and under can fish from the bank once registered. Afterwards, families enjoyed a hotdog lunch at noon, and fun with family and friends. This FREE event is a thrill for children and offers Great Prizes and Great Fun.
If you're planning a visit to Alabama over Labor Day weekend travel to Cherokee for the annual Coon Dog Labor Day Celebration at the Key Underwood Coon Dog Memorial Graveyard. The events starts about noon just in time for you to enjoy some savory barbecue and great music from the Southern Strangers. There will be buck dancing and the popular “Liar’s Contest”. You can help support this FREE event by getting a Coon Dog T-shirt and cap which will be on sale until 4:00 p.m.
Alabama has a diverse mix of recreation to enjoy year-round, which makes it a great destination for those who love the outdoors!
