CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The King of the Cumberland Fishing Tournament has been postponed, tournament directors announced Friday.
Weather predictions for Saturday have caused tournament officials to postpone the event to the following day, Sunday, May 5, 2019.
“Our number one goal is a safe and enjoyable tournament,” said Jonathan Pickett, tournament director and owner of Tailwater Marine & Tackle. “Postponing the tournament by one day will allow for the weather to clear up and makes for better fishing.”
