Most Captains would be happy with releasing 11 White Marlins of the “bunch” raised. Apparently that count was subpar for today. The Billfish bite is turning out to be epic as the Red Drum start to show up off the OBX piers. This will lead to very long days.
On a more important note a fundraising event will be held for Sonny Albarty on September the 26th . Among the items to be auctioned to help fund Sonny’s treatment will be a day’s charter on board the Pelican. More details to follow.

Sail Fishing out of Isla Mujeres, Mexico in 2014 onboard the Keen M
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.

#Ocean City Light Tackle Club 14/20 on OBX White Marlin today
Jim Motsko and his fellow club members enjoyed the North Carolina off shore fishery catching 29 of the 40+ White Marlin raised over the last two days. Every boat in the fleet who tried for billfish was rewarded today. The Pelican has the 24th through the 27th open. Sonny Albarty
#WhiteMarlin September bite best in awhile
The Pelican and crew found them biting. They went 15 for 20 today. With no change in weather the fish are hanging around. September 24 – 27 are open! Call Arch at 252-441-3197 or email arch@fishthepelican.com if you’re interested.
#White Marlin September to remember?
With no weather of significance forecasted the fish should hang around for awhile. Today Ian Smith and friends went 12 for 20. Overall every boat in the fleet caught fish.

#WhiteMarlin bite
John Bailey enjoyed good fishing today. He caught 10 of the 20 or so White Marlin raised. The entire OBX fleet enjoyed similar fishing. Some a little better than others.

The Pelican went 6 for 11 on the White Marlin yesterday. In the bigger and much more important picture we extend our thoughts and prayers to Sonny Albarty V and his family. More details are posted here.
Steady #White Marlin bite and nice #video weather
The Wood clan and friends have come on board with dredge cam in hand. They managed 7 for 12 on the White Marlin and a couple of nice Tuna’s. Hopefully some underwater footage.
10 for 15 #WhiteMarlin on board the Pelican today #OBX
The White Marlin bite remains very good as the entire fleet reports excellent fishing.
A bit slower but still double digits
In spite a persistent breeze and greener water the Pelican managed 10 for 17 on the White Marlin. The rest of the fleet did well with a few boats in the mid teens. A couple of Sails and Blue Marlin were mixed in. Good weather pattern to keep this going.
