2010 Tournament Canceled, Beaches Open

June 17, 2010 | Staff Writer | After careful evaluation and review of the most current NOAA Federal Fisheries Closure Area, Tournament Officials have determined that the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic cannot be held this year.

We want to express our appreciation to the sponsors, boat captains, owners and angling teams who have supported us through this time, and we look forward to seeing everyone back next year.

The 2011 event is scheduled for June 21-26 and will be carried out in the same tradition participants and spectators have come to enjoy. In the meantime we will continue to strongly support the region’s fishing community.
