The first day of the 37th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament is in the books.  We saw some nice looking fish hit the scales today as you can see in this wrap-up video.  We are excited to see what everyone brings to the scales for day two! Watch the weigh-ins live at octunatournament.com/fish-cam

The marina was a much different scene than yesterday.  We did not see nearly the same amount of activity as yesterday with the exception of the pools.  We did have a few boats head to the Poormans Canyon today.  The guys on the “Marli” returned with a yellowfin and the crew on the “Reel Chaos” had 1 large big eye and 2 dolphin.  The crew on the “Fish On” went to the Baltimore Canyon today and released 4 white marlin.  Looks like the weather will be keeping them at the docks for a bit, but don’t forget the 37th annual Ocean City Tuna Tournament is right around the corner.  Be sure to stop by http://www.octunatournament.com for all the latest details and updates.  Those who register on or before July 8th get a $200 gift card to Micky Fins!

It was a beautiful day down at the docks on this wonderful Independence Day!  The temperature made for the perfect easy-breezy festive type of atmosphere and all of our patrons seemed to enjoy being able to  celebrate their holiday here at Sunset Marina.  The pools were packed with lots of families, the in-and out service of the boatel was steady all day, and the sportfishing boats were out looking for the fish.  Once again all of our boats that went today were reporting out of the Baltimore Canyon.  The “Marli” returned with 7 yellowfin while the team on the “Whisky Kilo” had 3 yellowfin, 3 mahi, and 1 white marlin release.  The “Tara Jessica” had 6 yellowfin in the box while the “Cabana” had 9 mahi, 1 blue marlin release, and 4 white marlin releases.  Finally we had the crew of the “Boss Hogg” return with 4 white marlin releases.  Wherever you are and however you are celebrating, the team here at Sunset Marina wishes you a happy and safe July 4th!
