FLORABAMA FISHING RODEO
The Flora-Bama’ s 12th annual Fishing Rodeo brought families, friends, and fishing enthusiasts together for a fun-filled weekend on the water. With over 30 categories for anglers of all ages, the event offered something for everyone— whether casting a line from a boat or dropping bait behind the Flora-Bama Yacht Club.
The atmosphere was electric as boat captains swapped stories of their catches, children beamed with pride at the weigh station, and spectators gathered to cheer on competitors. From pinfish and blue crab to red snapper and king mackerel, anglers showcased impressive hauls, all against the backdrop of the picturesque Ole River.
Those not competing enjoyed waterfront views, live music, and coastal cuisine at the Flora-Bama Ole River Grill and Yacht Club. The lineup included performances from Chris Beverly, Ryan Dyer, Tyler Ward, Smokey Otis Duo, Brooks Johnson, and Ryan Balthrop, adding to the festive spirit of the event.
