Planning tips
- Pad marina and Route 50 minutes—tournament weeks compress West Ocean City and inlet corridors.
- Book lodging early; billfish and tuna weeks stack with summer beach demand.
- Confirm weigh-in windows and public viewing rules with the host marina before you promise kids a “scale night.”
- Set a reliable nightly reporting reminder for the entire crew.
- Use the Club's 48th annual label rather than conflicting calendar numbering.
- Full fishing-tournament card (species, format, related events): Charles Kratz & Scott Smith Challenge Cup — fishing hub.
