The Pelican starts fishing May 1! We are looking forward to another great year full of great catches and making memorable moments for you and your family. May and June are great for Yellow Fin Tuna and Mahi. July is an excellent opportunity to catch a mix of Mahi, Tuna and Marlin. In August and September we target White Marlin, Sailfish and the elusive Blue Marlin! We end our year, October and November targeting the second round of Yellow Fin Tuna. Don’t “miss the boat” on a great time with Capt. Arch and our crew!

Weather has been a challenge the last few days in Mexico with nice weather but rough seas. Capt. Arch has still been able to pick up nice sailfish releases in spite of below par conditions. Here is a nice photo from a fisherman enjoying the good life fishing with Arch

Paul Gerlach and Capt. Arch continue to strike hard at the sailfish population. Weather was a challenge but that didn’t stop these two successfully releasing in the double digits! Nice work!
