The countdown is on, just 1 short day or 24 hours (everyone’s counting) before the 33rd Annual White Marlin Tournament begins here in Ocean City Maryland. The currently empty weigh station located at Harbor Island will become the focal point for many hundreds of fishermen and onlookers each evening as the days’ catch is weighed and measured.
With the 2007 prize money expected to reach $3,500,000, this fishing contest is considered a Premier Event on the East Coast. Over 500 boats are scheduled to participate and is open to everyone just by registering.
The early morning race to the canyons located many miles off the Ocean City coast is all too soon followed by the parade of ships, many triumphant, returning through the inlet and up the bay in the evening. The Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel located at 101st St. and Oceanfront will be the site of the Awards Ceremony Banquet on Saturday, August 11th from 4 until 6 pm.
Come join in the festivities, see the many reasons why Ocean City
MD has been proclaimed the White Marlin Capital of the World!
