It is an awesome thing when someone catches their first white marlin. It’s even more awesome when it’s a junior angler. Right now is the time to get offshore if you’re interested in catching your first white marlin….or your 100th white marlin. The bill fishing off of Ocean City is some of the best in the world in September and these boats are some of the best in Ocean City.
The Moore Bills with Captain Rob Skillman put one junior angler on his first white marlin on a recent trip. Mate Steve Moore was able to take his boys and his nephews out for his nephews birthday and had a great day. The boys all caught mahi and Steve’s nephew Chase caught his first white marlin for his birthday present. It was an awesome day on the water with the family.
Captain John Prather on Ocean City Guide Service had two really good trips today. Captain John put one crew on 12 sharks on a two hour shark trip.
Captain John also had a productive day on an inshore wreck catching his 2nd party six nice keepers on strip baits.
