White Marlin Open (Visitors) · Ocean City, Maryland

What should first-timers expect emotionally at weigh-in time?

Answer

The harbor gets loud, crowded, and exciting—part sports arena, part waterfront party. Manage expectations if young kids dislike crowds or fish handling. Leave early if you prefer a mellow Boardwalk ice-cream night instead.
