Get ready to cast your lines and raise a glass—Stinky’s Fish Camp is bringing back the biggest fishing showdown in Walton County! The 15th Annual Stinky’s Pompano Tournament kicks off with an epic celebration on March 29, 2025, at Stinky’s Bait Shack, setting the stage for five weeks of friendly competition from March 30 to May 4, 2025.
