Marlin Magazine recognizes the Outer Banks as the #1 spot for Marlin fishing.  Seems like a good spot for a Billfish tournament.

The 27th annual Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament is being held this week, August 9th-13th.

Records are set at this tournament.  Two years ago the state record was hauled in at 1,228.5 pounds!

This will be the biggest and best yet with lots of fun and festivities for the entire family.

Friends, fun and family combined with good music, good food, captain and mate contests, and giveaways should keep the spirits up and the fun flowing.

Outer Banks Record Blue Marlin

 

 

During last year’s 25th annual Pirates Cove Billfish festival, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, history was made! 

A state record breaking 1,228.5 pound blue marlin was pulled from the depths of the Atlantic.  This catch outweighed the previous record holder (1,142) by a long shot.

The gulf stream,  which is situated about 15 miles offshore from Hatteras Inlet, is home to a vast amount of fish and marine life, and attracts fishing enthusiasts from all over the world.  A wide variety of fish are caught on the OBX, from striped bass to mahi mahi, and of course, marlin. 

In most of the world , marlins do not exist in high populations.  Off the coast of North Carolina, many blue marlin thrive in the waters of the Atlantic. 

Curious about why fisherman from all over the world come to the Outer Banks to fish?  Come check out the Pirates Cove Fishing Tournament and see.
