Current Pelican Fishing Report
We’re heading out this morning in a race to beat some rough seas forecasted for this afternoon. Yesterday was a pretty good day with five releases!! Today, I manage to get a day with my hubby for some much needed Marlin fishing!! I hope I’m able to give a good report this evening!
Counting flags!! Billfishing fun!
Fantastic day today and the weather was perfect! Congratulations to our anglers today!!
Our Marlin season has been consistent with good billfish releases everyday. The Marlin are definitely here in good numbers! I’d love to say it’s been so fantastic we have to replace the riggers from the weight of the flags flying, but then the superstitious fisherman side of me doesn’t want to jinx it. Kidding aside, with Capt. Arch and Lee in charge, rest assure, the highest standards are in command. This mentality is great for you, bad for the fish and that’s the kind of boat you always want to be on.
Unless weather becomes an issue as we look ahead, there isn’t anything that could slow the fleet down through September. It’s been very good fishing for the Pelican all year!!
Post tournament week, things are going very well and great weather to top it off! Congratulations to the charters we’ve had the past several days! We’re looking forward to flying more flags!

A great day of action for the Pelican crew today! We started out with a Blue Marlin bite five minutes after we set out this morning and the fun just continued throughout the day! Great weather, great fishing and a lot of action made for a day we all look forward to. Congratulations to Rob Kurz and his fellow anglers on their first Grand Slam, we’re excited to have been part of such a memorable accomplishment. Nice work!!
Team Pelican warming up for this weeks tournament releasing five Sailfish today!
What an incredible day!! Out of over 90 participating boats, Our niece Emily Bracher won the Alice Kelly Junior Angler Award today!! She released her first Blue Marlin and a White Marlin!! Aunt Summer released the Sailfish for a GRAND SLAM! This tough little lady at twelve years old, handled the rough seas and these fish like a true champion! Congratulations Emily and team Pelican!
Flying flags!!
What a great day! Family fun catching White Marlin today. There is nothing like being a part of kids catching Marlin!
Three Blues, Four Whites and a Sail over the last few days for the Pelican crew. Today there were a lot of Blue Marlin seen by the fleet and the White Marlin bite has been decent. As we get further into the season, I think we have a great chance of seeing more. It’s looking pretty good so far.
