Happy holidays - Troy Crane - 11/28/14

The holiday season is upon us and we are ready for what ever the winter season brings. I am taking reservations for Striper fishing trips and will update as the winter progresses on what is taking place and where we will be located.

Secondly, our passion for waterfowl hunting and the numerous questions I get asked about our hunting has moved me to start offering guided waterfowl hunts in Eastern North Carolina. We will offer several types of hunting with several different guides depending on availability and what you prefer with everything from float rig hunting to stationary blind hunts. The season is off to a really good start, book ahead to gurantee your trip and feel free to call and discuss our fishing and hunting trips.

Near shore report before and after hurricane Arthur - Troy Crane - 07/12/14

Good half day fishing for Blues and Spanish along the beaches with schools of Red Drum showing up most days. All day trips have been very productive while live bait fishing and jigging artificial lures around wrecks and other structures for big Amberjack and the occasional Dolphin while trolling. A few cobia around but we look for that to pick up as we go into August. Lets go fishing !
