The Old Salt King of the Beach is one of the largest, richest and, certainly, most exciting king mackerel fishing tournaments in the United States.

The 2024 Fall King of the Beach falls on the heels of two devestating hurricanes (Helene & Milton). These 2 storms devastated the Tampa Bay area and our home base in Madeira Beach, FL as well. The Fall KING will go on… on a slightly smaller, old school scale. The tournament is now two days instead of the normal three. Our normal tournament field is not accessible so old friends and sponsors Pro Marine Boat Sales stepped up and will be hosting the event at their facilities in the Bay Pines area of St. Petersburg.

We are looking forward to holding the KING, seeing our tournament anglers and weighing some smoker Kings! Come out – Fish The KING.

Single Engine Division

More anglers run single engines than any other configuration. Old Salt, Mastry Engine Center and Suzuki Repower created the Single Engine Division at the KING specifically for these competitors. The payoff? a 200HP Suzuki Outboard Repower Package for the winner of the division.

Ladies

@King of the Beach

Ladies Division

Along with competing head to head, and sometimes arm in arm, with their male counterparts in the Overall & Single Engine divisions, our lady anglers have a division all to themselves. Winner of the division walks with cash & a one of a kind pendant from Johnston Jewelers.

Spanish Mackerel

@King of the Beach

Spanish Mackerel Division

At the KING we give respect to Spanish Mackerel with its own division. So much so that on a pound for pound basis the winner of the division can walk with about $1,000 per pound for the Spanish they weighed.
