The marlin are coming, the marlin are coming! There have been reports of very good blue marlin fishing along with a few whites being caught off Oregon Inlet, North Carolina as the fish make their annual migration north toward the Washington, Poor Man’s and Baltimore Canyons. Marlin fishing in Ocean City is expected to heat up soon!

The first white marlin of the season was caught on Monday June 9th by Jim Miner fishing aboard the “Judge” with Captain Blaine Champlin. Jim caught and released the fish outside the Norfolk Canyon. The Town of Ocean City will award him with a $5,000 prize for his catch. You can read more about Jim’s catch, and other local sport fishing news in the Coastal Fisherman.

The unique format of the White Marlin Open permits an unlimited number of anglers per boat, which not only allows for unlimited chances to catch the big one, but also creates a way to reduce the per-angler cost to fish. More anglers means more people to share entry fees, dockage, and fuel costs, but may also mean more people to share in the winnings!
If you are thinking about participating again this year or if it will be your first time, go ahead and invite a friend along!

The NMFS’s new Management Plan did not impose a 5 year ban on recreational catches of Atlantic white marlin, but should effectively reduce the recreational mortality rate through expanded use of circle hooks. On May 8, 2007 the NMFS has officially delayed the mandatory use of circle hooks for Atlantic Billfish Tournaments through 2008.
Read more about the NMFS’s plan in our Conservation section.
