White Marlin Open Tournament Dates Extended by Two Days

August 3, 2020 By InTheBite Editor

White Marlin Open—The White Marlin Open tournament dates have been extended by two days due to Tropical Storm Isaias, which is expected to pass by Ocean City on Tuesday. With that change, each boat is now permitted to fish any three days from Monday, August 3 through Sunday, August 9.

As of Sunday evening, 433 boats have registered to fish for a world record fishing purse of $6.7 million during the 47th Annual White Marlin Open held in Ocean City, MD August 3-9. The anglers will target white and blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, dolphin and shark and it is probable that a couple new millionaires will be minted by the tournament’s end on Sunday, August 9.
