South Carolina Blue Marlin Invitational

Have a happy and safe Independence Day!

We’re proud to support the South Carolina Memorial Reef, an initiative which creates life after life to honor sportsmen who have passed.

This year’s donation, made in honor of Capt. Ben Polk’s late father, OC Polk, will help support future South Carolina Memorial Reef projects, benefiting the broader sportfishing community and conservation efforts for pelagic species, as well as a myriad of at-risk reef fishes.
