Black Friday 550 Rockfish Tournament


Hey Joe,

We are getting ready for our second annual Black Friday 550 Rockfish Tournament here at the Ocean City Fishing Center. It's a 36-hour tournament starting Friday at 6 am ending Saturday at 6 pm, anglers can brave the cold and fish all night if they want. Last year's payout with only 10 boats was $4,700 and we are expecting more this year. The marina is allowing participants to use a slip for free during the tournament. Also, for those who like to fish but may not want to get that cold... both the Ocean City Fishing Center and Sunset Provisions tackle shops will be having a Black Friday Warehouse Liquidation sale with most items 20% off, and some items up to 70% off. Last year this tournament was a lot of fun for everyone involved, we even have a prize for the top junior angler.

In addition we hold a silent auction and raffle to support the Autistic Children's Support Group of Worcester County. This year we have about 15 silent auction baskets and items from many local companies, including a Raymarine Fish Finder donated by Martek of Maryland. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the silent auction. Thank you for posting this and we hope that everyone has a great holiday!

looks like fun. If you don't own your own boat can you charter one? If so, what is the approximate cost?

You don't have to own a boat, you can charter. Pricing for the charters depends on the size of the boat and what the captain usually charges for a tournament. If you can get a group of people together to split the costs it's usually not too expensive.
