There were 165 boats fishing on day 3 of the 2023 MidAtlantic Tournament and they absolutely found the fish. We heard early on that there were blue marlin, white marlin, tuna, dolphin and wahoo all coming to the scales and there were even boats with a bunch of releases. There were a few boats with double digit white marlin releases and there were some BIG blue marlin that hit the scales tonight. It was an exciting day of scales! Here’s who’s leading after three days of fishing.

Captain Marc Spagnola of Dusk to Dawn Bowfishing was on the river last night and the snakeheads and gar paid the price.
