More Yellowfin and Congrats to Chip & Julia

Arch says the Yellowfin bite is on. He has days open all week and is itching to fish  after having spent all weekend on the road.  Chip married off Julia and like a good mate Arch attended Julia’s outdoor wedding. It was somewhere near Ft Pierce, Fl.

Yellowfin

Still a bit rough but not so much so that Arch and few of the other boats in the fleet went fishing today.  The results were so so.  The Pelican boxed 3 Yellowfin.  About fleet average.  A few Blackfin reported caught. Lee and Sonny went out in the woods last night for what turned out to […]

Post Sandy

The OBX also took a punch with Sandy.  Most of the piers are no longer and there was significant beach erosion.  Highway 12 is closed in more than one spot.  The water rose to Arch’s house but did not go in.  The Fishing Center had water over the docks but no real damage and the power is back on. […]

Welcome home Sonny!

Lee and his family wish to thank everyone who reached out during these difficult times.  Sonny is back home and doing better.  He will receive continued treatment locally. Arch has tied up the Pelican in Wanchese and is waiting out Sandy’s wrath patrolling the local pier’s  for Drum. He said  its not rough enough yet.

Wahoo…. A Lot of Wahoo

The last couple of days have been productive offshore.  The box as had Yellow Fin, Wahoo and King  among others.  Today a White Marlin was released! Sonny is on his way back home for continued treatment.

Weekend Crowd

Relatively calm weather makes for a large fleet on the weekend. That spooks the fish that don’t get caught.  Arch managed 5 Yellow Fin and 4 Black Fin big enough to put in the box.  Better boats caught a couple of Wahoo. Sonny continues to slowly improve and hopes to be back home for continued […]

Meat time

After a little rest, fishing for drum, more rest and some much needed boat maintenance Arch and the Pelican found there way off shore.  The fishing is great with Black Fin, Wahoo and Dolphin finding there way in the box.  Better boats has good hauls of Yellowfin as well. Based on the forecast there is much more […]

Sonny aka Jefferson Lee Albarty V.

Sonny continues to fight a yet to be diagnosed illness. We are all hopeful that he can return home to continue chemo treatments at Duke within the next few days.  Thanks to everyone who has reached out to support the Albarty’s during this difficult time. A PayPal account has been set up under his email […]
