SOMERSET, KY - Crappie USA will return to Kentucky's Lake Cumberland Oct. 30-31 with a tournament and a chance for local anglers to compete for cash, prizes and advance to the Cabela's Crappie USA Classic in 2016.

A pre-tournament seminar will be held on Thursday, October 29, 2015, at the Holiday Inn Express, 50 Stevie Lynn Drive, Somerset, KY. Sign up begins at 4pmCT/5pmET. This seminar is open to the public.

The tournament weigh-ins will be held on Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, at the General Burnside Island State Park Boat Ramp, 8801 South Highway 27, Burnside, KY, beginning at 2pmCT/3pmET. This is an opportunity for non-competitors to learn how the big ones are caught. Interviews of the top five teams will be conducted after the weigh in.

A kayak division where kayak anglers compete against other kayak anglers only, is new this year.

The event is free to all children 12 and under with all participants eligible for a chance to win prizes.

The Somerset-Pulaski County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Burnside Tourism and Kentucky Sports Authority welcome all Crappie USA anglers and their guest to the area and hope they take the opportunity to enjoy the many attractions.
