MidAtlantic was a week early for Billfisher

White marlin trolling was decent during last week’s MidAtlantic tournament, but nothing like the action Billfisher from Ocean City, N.J. experienced yesterday when they returned with 40 release flags flying!

The Manasquan River Marlin & Tuna Club’s Offshore Open is running from Aug. 24-31. That contest allows entrants to fish two days or one overnighter. I haven’t been able to work through previous year’s catches to find those that are current so far.

Wednesday’s forecast is for southwest winds at 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20.
