Since 2019

Our Story

Pittsburg Marine started the Kentucky Fishing Expo in 2019. We were, and still are, tired of traditional boat shows with very few bass boats and no tackle to bring in fishermen and fisher ladies. So we built a show just for them: designed by fishermen, with fishermen in mind.

2026

The same arena in 2026: a full floor, over half the upper level, and more than 5,000 folks through the gates.

2019

Built for fishermen

The first Kentucky Fishing Expo opens at The Corbin Arena. We started out optimistic and humble.

Year 3

Almost called it quits

About three years in, we honestly considered stopping. We are glad we kept going.

2026

It all came together

More than 5,000 folks came through the gates, over 60 vendors filled 150+ booth spaces, and the Hawg Trough was a hit with the young and the young at heart.

2027

Year eight

Skeet Reese headlines our eighth show, January 8–10, 2027. God is good!
