Planning tips

  • Book lodging and marina slips months ahead—Tournament Week compresses West OC, Harbour Island, and inlet corridors.
  • Spectators: plan dinner around weigh-in rush; harbor restaurants stack tickets after 4:00 p.m.
  • Recreational charters should avoid competing with lines-out and return windows—ask captains about WMO week availability.
  • Bring a zoom camera for evening scales; phone snapshots struggle with crowds and lighting.
  • Confirm every fee, Calcutta, and species rule against the live 2026 packet—marketing pages and entry copy can lag edition numbers.
  • Full fishing-tournament card (species, format, related events): White Marlin Open — fishing hub.
