Captain
Troy Smith

Member since July 2019 Ocean City, United States
Background
I have fished offshore for the past 40 years in the waters from northern New Jersey to southern Ocean City, MD. I enjoy watching others catch fish and the new excitement each new group brings. Our boat is a double Master Captain boat with my wife Debbie being the second Master Captain. We both enjoy private charters and also doing various tournaments hosted in the OCMD area.
Techniques
We mainly troll for Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi. We also deep drop for Swordfish, Tilefish and Black Sea Bass.
