Given the unfortunate impact of Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, FLW Outdoors officials have decided to relocate the Wal-Mart FLW Kingfish Tour Championship.

The championship, scheduled for Oct. 13-15 in D’Iberville, Miss., will be moved, and the dates will remain unchanged. The new host is Morehead City, N.C., with the final weigh-in at the Wal-Mart located at 300 Highway 24 in Morehead City. Daily takeoffs and weigh-ins the first two days will be held at Sea Water Marina located at 400 Atlantic Beach Causeway in Atlantic Beach, N.C. All qualified team captains will be contacted directly by FLW Outdoors regarding this change in venue.
