  The anglers will be fishing some 50 to 70 miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland in deep water areas known as the canyons. The first white marlin this year was caught at Poor Man's Canyon. Other noted fishing 'holes' named as Hot Dog, Fingers, Hambone, and others, will be searched for a prize catch.

At the marina Harbour Island food and drink, along with entertainment will be provided. The atmosphere is most jovial and you'll most likely see someone you know. All the locals will be there! There is no entrance fee or charges except for food and drink. Early evening, from 4pm to 5pm on is the best to get there, but often some of the prize catches are not brought in until late in the evening.
