OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY
Unforgetable summer memories!
Make this year the year you become a member of the Ocean City Marlin & Tuna Club.
OCMTC is a group that shares a common interest in boating and inshore and offshore
fishing...and unforgetable memories!
Established in 1959 the OCMTC was known as the Snug Harbor Marlin & Tuna Club
with just 23 members.
In 1976 the club name was changed to Ocean City Marlin & Tuna Club with
membership increasing to 1000 members. In 1978 the club started the Overnight
Billfish Tournament known as the Overnight Swordfish tournament. The first
tournament registered an unbelievable 42 swordfish caught, 76 marlin released along
with several tuna, dolphin and wahoo. Recognized by Marlin magazine this
tournament was called one of the most productive tournaments -- only 42 boats were
entered! The club continues to be recognized for community projects including
donating funds for the creation of artificial reefs off the coast of Atlantic and Ocean
City. Funds have also been donated in member names to the Recreational Fishing
Alliance and the Billfish Foundation. In 1992 an outing for special needs children was
started and still carries through the present. Members provide their boats for the
enjoyment of these special needs children.
Be a part of this fine tradition of the 700 current members of the OCMTC! In addition
to the Overnight Billfish Tournament and community service projects enjoy the
numerous inshore, offshore and family oriented fishing tournaments, social events and
more! And remember: STOP WISHIN....GO FISHIN!!!!!!
