Memorial Day showed promise for a great start to summer- with a few boats returning with Sharks. On Friday we saw a 230 lb Thresher from the C-Boys, and today brought us a 202 lb Mako from the crew of the “No Quarter”! Captain Kyle Peet also reported releasing 12 Blue sharks. The ‘Marli’ fished the Hot Dog to find 24 Blue Sharks and 1 Tiger shark, all of which they released.
Still no sign of Whitey as of today, which mean the first white marlin prize for Ocean City is still up for grabs! This year is even more special, since several businesses (Sunset Marina and Atlantic Tackle being two of those businesses) teamed up to provide the White Marlin prize money when the town planned to remove it from their funding. The town of Ocean City has since decided to keep the prize money, increasing the purse to roughly $15,000!
