Fishing Tournament Schedule
The Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division neither permits nor denies tournaments, but the Alabama Marine Patrol requires permits for any marine event “that interferes with marine traffic or creates a potential safety hazard” (including bass tournaments). Click MarineEventApplicationFY2018.pdf to download the free tournament application. Applications must be submitted at least 15 days prior to the event.
Please contact Sherry Sellers at (334) 687-8011 (option 4) or sherry.sellers@dcnr.alabama.gov to schedule your tournament.
Note: All fish must be released into the water outside of the marina lagoon and boat ramp lagoon, preferably in the channel, either by the individual angler or by the tournament director/staff. This requirement is to protect both anglers and the alligator population in the marina lagoon area.
