The White Marlin Open occurs during the first full week of August every year. Hundreds of boats enter the hunt for the biggest fish so they can take home a piece of the prize money. This fishing tournament is the largest billfishing tournament in the world!
Before the great storm of 1933, which cut the inlet we’re familiar with today, Ocean City was an isolated fishing village. Since then, Ocean City has not only become one of the country’s top vacation resorts, but it’s also garnered the reputation as the White Marlin Capital of the World. World-class fishing takes place off Ocean City’s shores every season. August, however, is the biggest month for sport fishing because anglers from across the globe come to Ocean City for a chance to hook record-breaking white and blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, and sharks. The prize money is big. This tournament has been held for 47 years and has awarded almost $100 million in prize money!
Do You Want to Fish?
If you’re an angler wishing to participate, make sure to register on the tournament’s website for your chance to reel in a life-changing fish.
Watch the Boats Come & Go
The Cambria Hotel has a webcam pointed at the Route 50 bridge. This is the best place to watch the boats come and go as they head out to sea to fish and as they head back to weigh their catches. Who will will the prize money? You might see the boat on this webcam.
If you’re not a fisherman, but love big boats, scale-tipping fish and/or a festive atmosphere, make sure to check out all the action at the weigh-ins at Harbour Island on 14th street during each night of the tournament. If you can’t be in Ocean City or make it to the marina, you can watch the nightly boat returns and monitor the leaderboard on the White Marlin site.
Whether you choose to participate, attend or stream the event, the White Marlin Open is a can’t-miss occasion in Ocean City. Want to catch all the action of the White Marlin Open from your computer? Click here to view the live feed of the returns.
