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!!
