We had a great day yesterday releasing five White Marlin and a Sailfish. Great action for John Bailey and Ray. Ray released two himself. at 13 years old, he’s loving the fishing and appreciating living next door to an offshore captain. I think we have a fisherman for life!
The Pelican had a great day on the seas today releasing two White Marlin and loading the box with 25 Dolphin. The ocean was calmer today and the weather has been great with a nice east/north east breeze. It’s great to see the fleet fishing and everyone getting back to normal after Irene.
Five out of 10 whites Bill Degraw and his crew have no complaints even with a little sea. Call Arch at 252-216-7071 and get it on.
While the storm has made its mark on the OBX we are a resilient community. Our infrastructure is sound and repairs are well underway. Access to the ocean and the main populated portion of the barrier Island is intact. Accommodations improve daily as we recover from Irene. The late summer and fall is a beautiful […]

Unfortunately Oregon Inlet Fishing […]
Irene was tough on the outer banks. There is some sound side flooding damage. Arch, Summer, Bailee and the Pelican are OK. They have some cleaning up to do and will update you on their status as soon as possible.
Thank goodness Irene weakened at landfall. Even so the wind and rain is intense. Hopefully sound side flooding won’t be so bad. On Monday Charlie Britt and Alan Huband caught and released 10 White Marlin on board the Pelican. They took some great photos you may view in this slideshow link.
We’ve been preparing ourselves the last few days for Hurricane Irene. Arch has lived here longer, but since I moved here 16 years ago, the Outer Banks, with the exception of Hatteras Island and hurricane Isabelle, have been pretty lucky. I have not seen this area in a situation that we haven’t been able to […]
It was a rough day but that didn’t stop us from finding the White Marlin. Alan Huband and his crew released TEN White Marlin! What a day!!!! The weather today and tomorrow is perfect and I’m looking forward to hearing another great report from Capt. Arch. Great job guys toughing out a little roughness and still performing like […]
Awesome day yesterday with Seven White Marlin releases!! The Whites are hanging around for the party and we’ve been invited to play!
