State Rep. Lipscomb, ALEA discuss bass fishing tournament permit policy after Smith Lake tragedy

State Rep. Craig Lipscomb (R-Gadsden) and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) recently discussed permitting policy for bass fishing tournaments in Alabama.

The Auburn University Bass Fishing Club recently cancelled an upcoming tournament on Lake Jordan “due to recent events and the Administrative Code implemented requiring a permit for marine events.”

Three boaters were killed in a crash at Smith Lake in April during a Major League Fishing tournament.

Lipscomb said during an interview on Monday on Lines & Tines with Spencer Graves that policies for permits for bass fishing tournaments were currently being reviewed by ALEA.
