Summary
Welcome back! Today's guest is Brett Crane, the founder of Crane Lures and captain of the Ohana out of Dana Point, California. Brett is one of the most respected custom lure makers in the offshore fishing world, handcrafting trolling lures that have caught blue marlin, striped marlin, tuna, dorado, and other pelagic species across the globe. Inspired by the legendary Hawaiian lure makers, he combines traditional craftsmanship with years of experience on the water to create lures trusted by tournament teams and charter captains alike. When he's not in the lure shop, Brett is at the helm of the Ohana , putting clients on everything from local Southern California gamefish to striped marlin and swordfish. His passion for big-game fishing, lure design, and sharing knowledge has made him a respected voice in the offshore community. Today we'll dive into what makes a great marlin lure, how lure design has evolved, stories from chasing billfish around the world, and the lessons he's learned from a lifetime on the water.
