I havn't really fished Pelican a lot over, the years, but I do know a thing or two about it.
To really get into blues, try a night crawler or meal worm on a strait hook, about 2 feet under a bobber. I never had the patience to chuck jigs when the bait worked so good. However, I'd think any small curl tails would work great.
For bass, I like to roll white or chartruse/white spinnerbaits right on the edge of the weeds. They really seem to like that. I'm sure stuff like jigs, crankbaits and other stuff like that would work, too. One other way I've got decent sized bass out of there is sight fishing with a dead minnow on a treble. Cast out and let them inhale it. Thats pretty fun, too.
The area I normally fish is right by the boat ramp or the reed island. If you don't get into fish, move around till you do. Once you find them you should stay on them most of the day. I hope this helps. I'm sure someone ealse out there could elaberate a lot more. Good Luck!
