About this tournament
The 10th Annual Ocean City Inshore Classic is scheduled October 10–11 with Atlantic Tackle as host.
Fall red drum, speckled trout, and flounder are the headline species in the listing, though teams should confirm the final scorecard.
Atlantic Tackle is located at 12930 Sunset Ave and lists 410-430-1016 as the event contact.
Autumn conditions can be excellent but variable; tide, wind, and water temperature should shape launch and return decisions.
Use inshore bay fishing, weather, and fishing regulations before committing fish to a weigh or photo process.

For anglers & crews

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.”
- Bring layered weather gear for October mornings and evenings.
- Call Atlantic Tackle before assuming last year's boundaries or species count.
