Good timing on the ride south enjoying smooth travel despite grumpy conditions astern. Opting for a moderated approach working down we gave it a few hours late in the day for glowing results. Night time was the right time. A whole bunch of beautiful yellows now reside in the hatch while the southerly trek continues. A day of variety is promised tomorrow as we scour the beach out of the weather seeking a reload on mackerel along the way. 
On an admin note check out the 2027 Spring/Summer schedule that has a few select spots open to one and all. We are actively working to offer more availability early this year to accommodate as many new Royal Star anglers as possible. Offering unparalleled Captains, professionalism, and fish handling standards Roy, Duke, Brian, yours truly, and our deck crew of seasoned young men passionate about fishing look forward to the opportunity to introduce you to the Royal Star difference. Enjoy today's image of the boat working offshore courtesy of Carl Sbarounis. Thank you sir!



If you would like to go fishing with us please BOOK ONLINE or call (619) 224-4764 to get in on the action.
