Marauder Fishing Charter Reports

THE 2012 STRIPER SEASON IS IN FULL SWING ! WE are fishing out of Rudee inlet in Va.Beach and the fishing can't be any better. The water temps are warm, the fish are inside the line and the run to the fish is short. With the mild winter and the long range forecast not calling for any hard winter weather the Striper have settled in and it has the looks of a long season. We have a few dates left open in January and I am starting to book February. Get a crew together and get it while it's hot. You can check my availability calendar, email or call me at 252-202-3396 for info or reservations.

We welcomed a new group of anglers on the Marauder Sunday the 29th for a 3 and a half day tour. We had pretty good action throughout the whole trip catching a nice limit of Stripers including a 41 pound citation on Tuesday and several release citations on Sunday. We finished off the trip this morning with a final shot at the Blue fin tuna fishing. I ran the Marauder down the beach a few miles this morning until we found what we were looking for. The lines hadn't been in the water for very before we were hooked up with the first one. Two more were to follow giving us three Bluefin for the morning. A great way to end the tour for the boys. Thanks guys,we throughly enjoyed fishing with you all and look forward to seeing you again.

The gang posing with the kill fish Trent brought in. 142 pounds 63 inches long. Several tuna were caught today by the fleet.

We took the boys on a Tuna trip this morning and they were snappin. Trent was all smiles after landing this 146 pounder. Do Beaty caught and released a 64" Blue fin and Billy Stone caught and released a 61" Blue fin.

We welcomed Do and his friends this morning for the first of a three day run on the Stripe bass. Day one started off with a bang for the guys getting it done pretty quick this morning on a nice class of Rock with most of the fish around fourty pounds. We had six rods go down on this pass and most had double headers, these were the last four in and made for a nice group photo.

A nice 40 pounder.

Peanut, Tank and the crew returned to fish with us again this winter. Day one we faced a big front that came through in the middle of the morning which brought with it lots of rain and wind gust at times of around 40 plus at the Cape. We manged to hold onto six nice Rock which was good considering the conditions. Day two the fish had moved offshore and we worked in bait all day only managing one 45 pound fish for Tank which was a welcome. Thanks guys, as usual, we enjoyed the company and looked forward to next year.

Jason and his crew joined us this morning and it was a quick smack down on the Stripe Bass. We dropped them off and headed out in search of a Blue fin Tuna. We hooked one and Jason battled him for about 15 minutes before spitting the hook. He put on a good show with a couple of top water runs all while in 30 feet of water !

Thanks folks, good to fish with you !
