Best Place to Stay at the Chandeleur Islands

Chandeleur Island Fishing

The clear waters of the Chandeleur Islands offer some of the best light tackle fishing in the country. From traditional targets like speckled trout and redfish to seasonal catches like pompano, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, jacks, cobia and the occasional tarpon, the fishing is simply superb. 

The Pelican is a floating lodge that has been operating in Schooner Harbor since 1985 and our hosts have decades of experience fishing the Chandeleurs - they may look salty but they are as hospitable and knowledgeable as they come! Come experience the best the Chandeleur Islands have to offer.

The Pelican was amazing.  This was my first time and i've already booked for next year.

I highly recommend the Pelican.  The chandeleur islands are full of fish.  I came home with a cooler full of fish that should last for the next 6 months.

I caught the biggest Redfish in my life.  I'm glad my buddy told me about this place.  The Pelican was perfect for 3 days fishing.  The food was great and the drinks were cold.
