OCTOBER 12, 2024

On October 12, 2024, The National Catfish Derby Fishing Tournament will take place with the weigh-in being on Main Street at The Savannah Market. There will be fishing tournaments throughout the week that will take the Derby back to its roots as an actual Derby. Those weigh-ins will be at various locations throughout Savannah and will be announced accordingly. The Market will house a few food trucks and live music featuring Trey Nichols, Ty Moore, and Cole Nichols sponsored by Music on Main.

We are happy to see Bill Dance hosting The National Catfish Derby starting in 2024. This has been a long running conversation with The City of Savannah, HCCVB, and The State of Tennessee Department of Tourism and we are excited to have worked out the details in adding the Bill Dance Signature to the tournament!

The tournament weigh-in and activities are offered FREE to the public on October 12th.
