Prepping for the 2009 Tournament

Posted by Faizan Shiwani / at 7:25 AM / /

The skies are blue and the breezes are warm here at Harbour Island, just two days before lines go in the water at the 2009 White Marlin Open. This year, the 36-year old world's largest billfishing tournament is expecting more than three hundred boats to compete for millions of dollars of prize money. Boats from up and down the eastern seaboard are registering for added entry levels, hoping to catch the big white. There is one more day of late registration tomorrow, and the Captain's Meeting here on the dock at 7 p.m. Spectators are already planning to watch the boats go past the Ocean City sea buoy early on Monday morning. Stay tuned to WhiteMarlinOpen.com for the latest tournament information all week!
