2017 was truly an amazing year for the Sunset Marina family, once again showing the world why Sunset Marina is the best marina in the MidAtlantic region. Tournament season, as always, was busier than ever and we were happy to welcome new and returning customers to our marina to take advantage of all the fishing action. We saw plenty of marlin, tuna, sharks, and dolphin- with the fishing season running stretching all the way into December! November brought a special treat when day-time swordfish were found offshore and kept a few boats fishing much later than usual. The swordfish bite had a good run for a few weeks, while also bringing an unseen catch to Ocean City! As many of you recall, Austin Ensor and his crew on the ‘Primary Search’ returned to our marina with an Opah! The news quickly spread around the fishing community as a new venture for the Ocean City fishing community- being logged as the first documented recreational Opah catch in our area. Just as the dust began to settle, the unheard of happened… again! Captain Ensor found yet another Opah while deep-dropping for swordfish. Perhaps Opah’s arent as rare in December off of our coast?
With 2018 upon us, we now turn our heads to the upcoming fishing season and our eager to see what exciting fishing the year holds. If last year is any indication, we are in for an amazing season!
