WMO boaters couldn’t change leaderboard in yesterday’s 5-8-foot seas

With only Saturday left in the White Marlin Open, there were boaters who headed offfshore in yesterday’s 5-8-foot seas, but they weren’t rewarded with any leaderboard changes. There are 62 more fishing the last day of the Ocean City White Marlin Open today in conditions probably not much better.

Mike Monte reports from Nantucket that bonito up to 7 pounds are loading up on sand eels and butterfish, while little tunny have also arrived. One tunny was an exceptional 13-pounder.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar got into lots of blues by jigging today, and some were up to 9 pounds. They also jigged some sea bass.
