Save Fuel: Important Rule Change

In order to help boats conserve fuel, the White Marlin Open has amended General Rule I D. Boats may now pass the sea buoy at the Ocean City Inlet, Indian River Inlet, and Cape May Inlet no earlier than 3:30 a.m. instead of 5:00 a.m. Allowing boats to run at a slower, more economical speed to reach their fishing destinations can reduce fuel consumption up to 1/3, thus saving money. All other tournament rules regarding fishing times remain the same.
