East Coast, USA – It is one of the most anticipated bites of the season. As summer ends and fall begins, so does the White Marlin bite from New Jersey to North Carolina. This is when this region really earns its White Marlin reputation with boats routinely seeing 10+ White Marlin in a day making it time to air out your dirty laundry. Add in some Blue Marlin, Sailfish and even a Spearfish and you start to see Grand Slams as well.
