The OBX Cobia bite is becoming the best in years. While the size may not be as large as in the past, the number of fish being seen and caught are. James Offutt will attest to that as he shows off a 50+ pounder in the cockpit of the Pelican. They stopped counting after 20 […]
The Pelican and crew focused on finding the massive school of Cobia migrating off the OBX Friday. It was the right choice as they ended up pounding them pretty good. 25 plus fish up to 71lbs. Nice day on the beach. Let’s hope they stay for a few more days.
Today’s group wanted Tuna. So offshore it was and 9 Tuna later a Cobia was landed. Nice day and an incredible Cobia bite close to shore. This Sunday the Pelican has room for up to three to fill a 3 person charter to be split accordingly. Call Arch at 252-441-3197 or email Arch@fishthepelican.com

Mike MaCarty and a few of his buddies fished on board the Pelican today. Arch sniffed out the Dolphin in a big way. Lee made sure all hands were on deck and let the bailing begin. William spanked everyone with his 44lb bull he shows off in this picture. After a couple of shy Tuna […]
The Pelican has made it’s way off shore and found some meat!. Frank and Connie from Maine had the pleasure of pitching bait to several schools of hungry dolphin. Many of which they put in the box.The Gulf Stream pushed in a bit providing a warm slug of water which produced a Marlin bite yesterday. […]
Both the Cobia count and pictures are too numerous to post. Besides they all look the same. Instead check out one of the few Stripers remaining in the Potomac above Washington, DC. Arch will be fishing offshore OBX in 2 weeks. He has a couple open dates for meat in prime time. If you’re […]
