Not long after the terrible Nor' Easter of 1933 cut the inlet to Ocean City, local sport fishing captains discovered un-believable numbers of marlin congregating not far offshore into he Atlantic. It did not take long for a group of local captains to band together to form a loose knit organization aimed at conserving this newfound resource, and to promote Ocean City's sport fishing. In 1936 they became known as the Ocean City Marlin Club.

If you enjoy the sight of a marlin greyhounding, a limit of tuna, the taste of scrumptious dolphin or wahoo, then we encourage you to join our club. Whatever your fishing passions, the Ocean City Marlin Club is working to create an interest in our area's sport fishing and promote the conservation of the sea and her creatures.

In the last sixty years, the Marlin Club has become a virtual institution to the Ocean City fishing community. WE strive to blend the strong traditions of the old Ocean City's fishing pioneers, with those of today's modern fisherman.

During the summer the Ocean City Marlin Club plays host to several tournaments. We work with the city to promote the Amateur Anglers Contest; In June we sponsor the Small Boat Tournament for offshore and inshore fishing which includes numerous categories of fish. This is a great opportunity for families to fish together.

Over the July 4th weekend we head offshore for the first billfish tournament of the season in our Canyon Kickoff. Prize money typically exceeds $75,000 dollars. The end of July features "the battle of

Marinas" in our Marina Shootout as competing marinas vie for the honor of Top Marina.

In August the Club host the annual Tuna Chunkin' Tournament. We finish the season with the prestigious annual Labor Day White Marlin Tournament and the Challenge Cup where the Cape May Marlin & Tuna Club comes to Ocean City to see which club catches and releases the most billfish.
