Great catch for the crew this morning. The official start of the summer fishing season in my book ! Water temp was 72 degrees south of the inlet. Time to get your trip booked, 252-202-3396
5-16 report - Troy Crane - 05/16/12
Excellent Spanish fishing today, all you wanted. Water temp 72 on the south beach.
5-15 Good half day fishing. - Troy Crane - 05/05/12
Another good day of fishing along the beach today. Water temp is 69 degrees. Its getting ready to bust wide open !
Half day afternoon 5-4 - Troy Crane - 05/04/12
Good fishing south of the inlet today with our first Spanish Mackerel of the season.
Well...........we have sanded, painted and varnished just about everything on the boat that we could find to do. The nice Spring weather, I say this jokingly, has kept us tied to the dock on all but a couple of trips because of the wind and the rough ocean it brings with it.
It looks like the weather pattern is getting ready to change by mid week and bring with it warmer temps and less wind. We are scheduled to fish starting Friday and through the weekend and there has been a good showing of Blues around the inlet and some nice schools of Red Drum spotted off the beach making there way North.
Summer is almost here and we are taking bookings daily for the season. Get your date reserved ahead of time to eliminate the last minute rush.
We will gladly customize a trip to your liking based on the conditions and whats biting. Feel free to call, 252-202-3396 or shoot me an email @ marauder1@embarqmail.com to discuss your fishing options.
We look forward to seeing everyone real soon !

All day trips - Troy Crane - 04/05/12
On a typical all day trip during the Summer months we try to do some live bait fishing for Amberjack (as shown Above) and then spend some time trolling where we have the opportunity to catch a wide variety of fish depending on conditions that day. On this trip our trolling payed off with a few Mahi along with a nice Sailfish catch and release.
The season is fast approaching and we are booking trips daily. Call or email me to customize your own fishing adventure, be it a full day, half day or a three quarter trip, we have something for everyone.

BOAT YARD BLUES - Troy Crane - 03/24/12
I just returned Wednesday from delivering a boat to the Dominican Republic and doing a little fishing down there. We went back hard on the Marauder first thing Thursday and almost have the bottom job complete. The weather is warm and the water temps are rising fast, almost 70 degrees in the sound, looks like an early Spring/Summer. We have our first fishing trip of the Spring on Wednesday so I"ll give an update then. Our summer dates are starting to book so don't wait to get yours reserved.
Summer is just around the corner and we are busy with the boat projects, trying to get her all spiffed up for the upcoming season.
I am taking bookings so don't wait to make your reservations. We look forward to seeing everyone again this summer.
Have a nice Spring !
Red Snappers - joan goodrum - 03/02/12
Are red snapper available to keep when they are caught? If so when does the fishing season start for them? Also are there crokers, trout, or porgey? Or what other type of fish are in season now?
I ran the boat back to North Carolina last Wednesday and went straight to the yard for some boat work. I had a crew come in and blast the bottom down to the gel coat so we could go back with a brand new smooth finish on the bottom. It saves a lot of time sanding ! We have a few things to do, nothing big really but with the warm weather we have been having all winter i figured we get an early start on it.
I am taking bookings as we go along for the Spring and Summer season. If you have a date in mind you need to get it in the books as soon as you can to gurantee it, bookings are on a FIRST call basis.
We will be available to fish starting the first of April.
Take care and we will see everyone soon, Troy
Summer Cobia fishing - Troy Crane - 02/25/12
Warm Summer days are getting close and we are looking forward to doing some Cobia fishing. We've had many customers enjoy the thrill of fighting one of these saltwater brutes on light tackle spinning gear, truely a catch of a life time. June is the best month to target these great fighting as well as great eating fish and we are typically booked well in advance so don't wait to reserve your date.
Spring and Summer fishing season - Troy Crane - 02/21/12
We are changing gears and preparing for the upcoming season now. I will be taking the "Marauder" over to the boat yard tomorrow for a couple of weeks to do some seasonal maintenance and sprucing up.
Again this year, we will be offering 1/2, 3/4 and full day fishing trips. We can customize a trip to your liking depending on the type of fishing you would like to do and how much time you want to spend on the water.
Call or email me with any questions you might have or to book your trip. Based on past seasons, I would highly recommend booking as far ahead as possible as we book up quickly during the summer months.
We are looking forward to seeing all of our returning customers and meeting some new ones.
See everyone soon,
Troy contact # 252-202-3396
