Abstract:

Since 2005, the annual Johnnie Mercer’s Pier Dogfish Tournament takes place in Wrightsville Beach. Anglers from all over the eastern United States convene at the pier during the last weekend of January in hopes of catching the largest dogfish. It is a relaxed competition and gives summertime anglers the opportunity to reunite during the winter months.
