BLUE MARLIN GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP- Thurs-Sat, The Wharf, Orange Beach
The Greatest Show in Sportfishing is unlike any other fishing tournament with huge fish and even bigger purses.

Come early to enjoy industry-related vendors and try your hand at the St. Jude Fighting Chair Challenge — a real sportfishing fighting chair that is similar to “tug-o-war” against a friend while raising money for the kids at St. Jude.
