Alice Kelly Memorial Ladies Billfish Tournament, Pirates Cove Marina, OBX

I started fishing with Jamie over 25 years ago. We were wild then. She comes from a long and distinguished line of captains. Her grandpa, Pop-Pop was a commercial fisherman out of Oregon Inlet, her daddy, James Miller fished out of Cape May, NJ, and Jamie, she’s about as salty as they come. She is also married to the original captain of the Hogwild, Cap’n Jim. Boy did we ever give him a hard time when he was trying to date her!

I’ll be fishing in this all-women’s tournament on the Hogwild with a group of my best friends, and now their children who are all young adults! It will be my first time fishing with Jamie’s son, Captain Jimmie. Wish me luck. This is a tag and release billfish tournament.

A brief history: 31 years ago a group of Alice Kelly’s friends came together to honor her memory and financially assist the Outer Banks Cancer Support Group. Today the “Alice Kelly” is one of the most popular lady angler events on the East Coast. Join us this August for incredible fun and some serious fishing!
