    Tough Seas

    Private Fishing 6 hrs 6:30 AM Fall7 adults

    We had a great time in “rough” fishing conditions. Captain Mark hit several spots and all 7 of us caught multiple fish with 14-15 keepers. Also Noah always kept us baited up and line in the water. Weather made it tough, but all in all we had a great time!

    Thanks so much — sounds like an awesome day despite the rough conditions! Big shoutout to Captain Mark and Noah for making it a successful trip! 🎣🌊

    4 hour trip - Mingo and squirrel fish

    Private Fishing 4 hrs6 adults2 children

    Great trip and awesome crew. They took great care of our group. We got about 10 lbs of mingo and squirrel. Unfortunately snapper was out of season by one day. The first mate and captain put together a plan for us to get some fish to keep on a shorter trip this time of year. That was custom and greatly appreciated!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you, Phillip! We’re glad the crew could put together a plan that made the most of your trip and helped you bring home some great fish. That kind of custom care is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate you choosing Pelican Adventures and hope to have you back on the water again soon!

    This app made it awkward.

    It says in the included items is the crew tip and it was not, so coming out another couple hundred dollars really took the shine off in the end.
