Yesterday was an excellent day for fishing. We hit the Yellowfins four times with all rods going off. Exciting fun! Nothing like filling the box with nice size Yellowfins. Weather was great and another perfect day on the water. The Yellowfin Tuna have been around consistently with nice Mahi as well. Fishing has been great this season. Get your friends and family together and take advantage of this great fishing we’re having.

Really big Dolphin and enough Tuna to keep it interesting. The Pelican, as well as most of the off shore fleet out of North Carolina enjoyed relatively calm seas. At least when compared to the morning forecast. Among the bounty of table fare a Blue Marlin was caught and released.

Light winds and calm seas made for a great off shore adventure for Elizabeth, Bev, Jeff and Matt. They hail from Richmond, VA and will return home with stories, Tuna and Mia Mia to feast on. Meanwhile and closer to shore the Cobia have moved in!

The Pelican and crew are back at it after a winter of R&R. Sail fishing in Mexico was great and a month in Destin Florida chasing anything that would bite on light tackle was even better. Helps to walk the pier and recharge the battery. Especially when they are biting.
Oregon Inlet is good to go and today’s offshore catch from our port of call included Dolphin and Tuna. Among the fleet 3 billfish were caught. The action will only improve as the season gets cranking. Check our calendar out and see if you can fit it in a day in blue water.
We would like to post some old Pelican photos we may not have. Please send any good action shots you may have to arch@fishthepelican.com and we will see about getting them posted up! Please be sure to include any details and names.
Thanks

While Blue Fin Tuna fishing has been great all winter within the Oregon Inlet fishing fleet, The Yellowfins showed up in great numbers this week! It’s hard to believe we are approaching our fishing season already, but definitely welcomed. We are gearing up to begin fishing April 27th and truly looking forward to another productive year. We’ll set this spring off with catches of Yellowfin Tuna and Dolphin while dipping into Cobia fishing. This is a great time to take advantage of meat fishing and stocking up the freezer! Check our availability and enjoy a day on the Pelican!

It’s the time of year when not much is biting and everyone starts thinking about it when they will.
Arch fished Mexico this past January and February with good results. Out of 30 or so days fished he averaged 20 fish a day. Probably twice that many taking a look at the baits in some way shape or form. Most of the sail bite was in trolling mode in spite of the grass and a few days spent under the birds. The Dolphin fish bite was extraordinary and made for great table fare at the Ballyhoo Bar and Grill. Add a few Snapper or Grouper and you never went hungry. Arch is going back to Mexico next winter so give him a call or email Arch@fishthepelican.com and figure out dates that work for you.
The Pelican will be fishing the last week in April 2012. Check out availability here!

If this is something you have considered doing in the past, get off the pot and do it. It is some of the greatest Sailfishing you will find, not to mention leaving the cold behind and soaking up the sun and enjoying authentic Mexican culture. It is an experience that is a must if you are interested in releasing on average double digit Sailfish daily and enjoying the plethora of bragging rights when you return to the states.
Arch has had a great season so far, with only a day or two of unfavorable weather conditions. The releases have ranged from 3o’s to the lowest of 16, super numbers coming from the Kin M and Capt. Arch at the helm.
The Pelican begins fishing May 1, 2012. This is the time to get your charter dates in as we are experiencing a increase in bookings for the 2012 season. If you are interested in Mahi and Tuna, take advantage of May and June, July is also great for meat fishing and we will begin to see our Marlin going into August and September. October and November are super for Yellowfin Tuna. Don’t wait for the last minute as weekends in the May and June months get booked first, so take a look at our availability and get your dates in. We look forward to seeing you at the dock, and having another great fishing season for 2012!

This year has been like most any other. Consistently different. The Pelican crew caught and released over 250 billfish. While White Marlin and Sailfish numbers were better than average, they were a bit off compared to 2010. The Blue Marlin count was up. We had 17 to the leader this past season. 7 of those where estimated to be over 400 pounds. The Dolphin and Tuna fishing was average to slightly above normal with a good showing of Big Eye Tuna in May and June. A few Cobia showed up just before Memorial Day and made for an interesting stop on the way in from blue water. As of this date a few Tuna are still around and the Stripers should be gathering soon.
Oregon Inlet has recovered nicely from Irene’s sound side flooding. We are tied up for the season and will be trying our luck in Florida and Mexico. Reports may be more intermittent from now until May as we “take a break”! A big THANK YOU to everyone who chose to fish with us this year and we look forward to seeing you again. The calendar for 2012 can be accessed here or you can give Arch a call.
