Stinky’s Fall Fishing Tournament Returns for 12th Year with Popular Pompano Category

Stinky’s Bait Shack is excited to announce the return of its Fall Pompano Beach to Bay Grand Slam Fishing Tournament for the 12th consecutive year, taking place from September 28 to October 27, 2024. Following the successful introduction of pompano last year, this beloved species is making a comeback, solidifying its place as a key part of the tournament.

The inclusion of pompano in 2023 was a game-changer, drawing even more anglers to the competition. Building on that success, the tournament will once again require participants to include a speckled trout in their three-fish aggregate, ensuring the Choctawhatchee Bay remains central to the experience.This year’s anglers will vie for the biggest pompano, redfish, and flounder but The Grand Slam Aggregate Winner must include 1 speckled trout. The combination promises a thrilling and competitive event for all skill levels.

“Our team is committed to hosting Walton County’s premier fishing events, and the addition of pompano has been a fantastic enhancement,” said Chef Jim Richard, the tournament’s originator and owner of Stinky’s Fish Camp. “We’re proud to offer an experience that challenges both seasoned pros and enthusiastic amateurs, all while celebrating our community’s natural resources.”

This year, with the continued excitement surrounding the pompano category and the tournament’s 12th anniversary, the prize pool is expected to be even larger. “Our sponsors are essential to the growth and success of this event,” Richard added. “As the tournament evolves, so does our commitment to offering substantial rewards for our participants.”
