It’s Not Always About Catching

We received a nice note from our party yesterday. Worthy of sharing with our friends and clientele. It speaks for itself. Subject: The Pelican I wanted to thank you and Lee again for such a great trip yesterday.  Though we didn’t find the elusive marlin, catching the mahi and the tuna was a blast, I loved seeing […]

Not everyday!

Slower today.  While the Pelican and crew did boat a few tuna and dolphin the elusive Roundscale Spear was not raised today.  A few bill fish of a similar species were seen closer to the traditional “tuna” water.  The weather was nice and calm with a few showers. Back at it in the AM. Still have some days open […]

Nothing like a NE Wind to stir it up!

The Pelican and a few other boats from the OBX fleet were able to get out for the first time in a few days as the lingering cold front finally pushed off shore.  The break was good for everyone as the fishing seems to have picked up where it left off and then some.  Captain […]

Roundscale Spearfish ?

It’s blowing today so the Pelican and crew are at rest. That may be the case for another day or two as the front and low pressure may linger a bit longer than we would like. The photo is that of a Roundscale Spearfish caught, photographed and released by Jim Motsko and friends earlier this […]

Picking Away At Them

Where else on the east coast can you go fishing within a days run and catch White Marlin, Sailfish, Yellow and Black Fin Tuna as well as Dolphin? The list is short and the OBX is at the top.  Arch and company caught 4 White Marlin and a few dolphin today which was about average for the […]

The OBX Fleet

Most all the OBX boats that went Marlin fishing Tuesday raised Marlin.  Just not in great numbers.  High boat had seven.  The Pelican released two. The weather was as nice as it gets for September which may be having an effect.  A good cold front would serve to provide for a day or two of […]

White Marlin Moon!

While a bit slower today the last couple of days the White Marlin fishing has been good. Arch has run the Pelican over several areas of productive water and caught 14 out of 20 plus fish raised. Some of the boats in the fleet are consistently catching dolphin and a few black fin. The Pelican […]

Great Marlin Fishing!!

138 White Marlin were released yesterday within the fleet, nice Dolphin, Wahoo and even a few Yellowfins were enjoyed by some of the captains.  We released 8 of 15 Whites and enjoyed a much needed beautiful day on the water.  September is looking pretty good so far for getting into the Whites in double digits!

Another Spectacular Day!

Yesterday, the guys released nine White Marlin for another great day aboard the Pelican.  Today is this groups third and final day fishing and already we have released 25 White Marlin.  With Katia off shore, we were lucky to get out of the inlet this morning and they will be dealing with the hurricane swell off […]
