The weather was really nice today and the fishing was superb!! Jeff Hester landed a huge 185 lb. Big Eye Tuna!! Todd Brown and his crew filled the box with Yellowfin Tuna and a few gaffer Mahi! Nice job guys. There were a few billfish caught in the fleet today as well.
Chris, Michelle and their crew weathered rough seas for a great catch of tuna along with a couple of dolphin! Excellent catch!
Another wonderful day full of gaffer dolphin and yellowfin tuna!
The last two days have been great! The seas were a bit rough yesterday but they powered through it and came home with Mahi and Tuna and an extra set of muscles to take back home to South Dakota, great job!
TODAY
A nice 142 lb. Big Eye caught by Todd Fischer along with gaffer Mahi and a few Yellowfin. Beautiful weather today and everyone is wearing smiles.
A box full of gaffer dolphin early this morning, followed by an exciting adventure inshore for Cobia. Pelican landed four Cobia this afternoon to top the day off.
Three nice Big Eye Tuna were caught today. Todd Johnson landed a 100 lb Big Eye with Wallis Higgenbothem landing the biggest weighing in at 172 lb’s. Josh Bauer wasn’t behind with his 153 lb Big Eye AND releasing a nice Blue Marlin today, topping it off with a few Mahi in the mix. Great Job guys!
Fishing for Sails off of the Yucatan was not as good this year. The bait did not gather as usual. Arch will try his luck in the Key’s with Pat for a few days and then venture north. The Pelican will begin fishing in late April. Give us a call or email arch@fishthepelican.com
With a yet another chill on the east coast doorstep many of you that fish with Arch know he has traveled to fish for Sails off the Yucatan. Conditions started out rough but it has now laid out enough to run in search of. To date the results have been subpar as the bait has just now begun to show up.
The Pelican’s calendar for 2014 is open so book your OBX trip while the best dates are still available!
Arch has lined up the Pelican, a party and the hunter’s moon for the last three days. They managed to catch several Tuna and missed a Blue Marlin each day.
Each winter Arch travels south to fish the pristine waters off the Yucatan Peninsula. He is a guest Captain for Anthony Mendillo onboard the “KEEN M”. In addition to Sailfishing you are exposed to many different types of marine species in a tropical paradise. Some of which you may view here. It’s easy access from the US mainland, a great family adventure and a must for those of you who wish to check Atlantic Sailfish off your bucket list. (BTW the way they will stop on a good mark on occasion)
As of today the following dates are available in 2014. January 7th – 10th 12th 14th 29th and February 3rd Contact arch at arch@fishthepelican.com or call him at 252-441-3197. You may also book the trip directly with Anthony.
