The Cup Is On The Line 
On rare ocassions life presents us with the opportunity to make history, and the Challenge Cup 2010 is one of those moments. 
 
Our club achieved victory in 2008 to save the cup from retirement in Ocean City.  In 2009 we rallied to make it two wins in a row.  A third win in 2010 will have the current cup awarded and retired to Cape May! 
 
It will not be easy.  The Ocean City boats have been bringing in big numbers with 9 boats posting 267 releases in one day last week.  Our club members haven't been slacking either, logging numerous double digit days.  As always, it will come down to game day and the team that brings it, will win it.
 
Check the photo/video section for shots from previous years and throw a camera on board so you can submit some shots for this years video.  Video clips from past years can be found here or on our Facebook Page.
 
We hope to see you at the 2010 Challenge Cup!
Membership Tips - September
The tourists are thining out and the marlin fishing is hotter than ever.  It's a great time of year to bring your crew into the club.  The upstairs has plenty of room for anything from a business meeting, to a party.  Downstairs, take the cover off the table and shoot some pool, or just hang out for cocktails. 
 
Have a lay day?  The Phillies are fighting for first and the Eagles will be kicking off shortly.  Catch the games at the club on the Hi Def flat screens.  Members are welcome to bring food or order out as well.
 
It is your club, make yourself at home.
The Cape May Marlin and Tuna Club
Your membership enables club operations and events and your participation makes this place great.  Our membership numbers are very strong but we need to continue to bring new members in so please extend a membership invitation to quality friends and fishermen.
