SOME FOR THE RIGGER AND SOME FOR THE BOX!

The Pelican had a great day today!  Jim Reddinger and friends had an excellent day today releasing five white marlin and landing twenty five mahi!  Good Job!  The white marlin bite is still strongand it seems to be staying consistent for now.  Looking forward to more action tomorrow.  Tuna season is approaching, days available October and November.

Marlin, Marlin and More Marlin!

The White Marlin fishing is still going strong!  Yesterday, Capt. Arch and crew released seven white marlin raising twelve.  A little rougher seas than we’ve had the past few days, but the fish were still out there pretty strong.  There have also been nice blue marlin and sails mixed in!  This has been great for the entire Oregon Inlet Fishing Fleet and looking forward to these fish staying within our reach!  If we can get to them, The Pelican will raise them!  Great job to Paul Hunt and his friends for handling these marlin so well.

White Marlin Record Setting Week Aboard The Pelican!!

The white marlin count aboard the Pelican continues to stay above twenty releases per day.  Capt. Arch Bracher led his charter including Brian Light, Dave Powers and Bob Bowers  today releasing 23 white marlin leading to a record setting 70 releases in three days.  The white marlin have been in abundance this year for The Pelican and Capt. Arch and mate Pat Bracher have taken advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.  Congratulations to the charter who handled the last three days with great skill and persitance.  Great work!  We have enjoyed excellent water conditions, a ton of life in the sea, and beautiful water.  Looking forward to it continuing..great work!

Another Epic Marlin Day aboard the Pelican!!

It’s been awesome marlin fishing the past two days!!  Today Capt. Arch put us on the fish again! We started the day seeing a nice Blue Marlin feeding on mahi, jumping clear out of the water.  We slid a mackeral back and it ate, Dave Powers caught his first Blue Marlin!  Congrats Dave!!  First fish of the day and the riggers were’nt even down yet.   We moved on, releasing 19 White Marlin and seeing plenty more.  We also saw a few sailfish mixed in.  There is a ton of activity and beautiful sights out in this water, these are days you dream of in a lifetime!  47 Marlin released in 2 two days!!

27 White Marlin!!!

World class fishing aboard the Pelican today.  Brian Light, Dave Powers and Bob Bowers did an excellent job angling four and five white marlins coming into the spread at one time!!  The Pelican raised 37 white marlin releasing 27, a new record aboard the Pelican beating last years record of 23.   Capt. Arch Bracher is looking forward to another great day of marlin fishing tomorrow.  These fish are still in our reach so we hope to take advantage of this unforgettable opportunity as long as we can.  These are days you never forget! Pictures coming soon!!

Pelican strikes the marlin again!

Capt. Arch and the crew aboard the Pelican enjoyed a nice day and excellent fishing yesterday.  Hurricane Earl had not disrupted any fishing patterns that we can tell so far.  Todd Brown and friends raised six white marlin releasing four.  Great angling guys!!  The weather looks great for the rest of the week with calm seas to enjoy.

Marlin & Hurricane Earl

The Pelican and the rest of the fleet made it safely through the hurricane without any damage to note.  Currently the weather is absolutely beautiful and we are looking forward to getting back in the sea’s tomorrow.  Before Earl made it’s approach off the NC coast we had an excellent day of fishing.  Six white marlin were released off the Pelican and we expect with calm seas, and a great weather forecast, the Pelican will continue to see these marlin. We dodged a bullet!  Let’s go fishing!!

More Marlin!!

The Pelican has had a great week wrapping it up with 26 marlin releases.  The weather conditions have been exceptional and the marlin have been consistant.  A ton of action aboard the Pelican this week.  Summer has had a great week as well fishing for the big reds  and tarpon at Oriental, NC with the IWFA women.  Summer landed eight drum the first evening and her biggest drum released at 47.5 inches.  Great week of fishing for both Capt. Arch and Summer Bracher.

White Marlin!!

The Pelican is having yet another successful Marlin season.  Nine White Marlin in the last two days.  Weather conditions have been awesome.  The fleet have been seeing an abundance of fish this year filling the box and releasing marlin in nice numbers.  It’s been consistently great days!
