Royal Star

Suffice to say that following the third fishless day of our seven day voyage that things were getting a little tight and even a few bottom lips were beginning to tremble. Oh how quickly things can change however and thank god for the fact because if our streak of bad luck had continued any longer even I might have been a little bitter. Good fortune came in the form of yellowtail action with the quality of the fish ranging from 25 - 58 pounds. Very steady action for all participants both entertained and provided much needed relief while the RSW holds finally got the chance to work their magic on all those beautiful, delicious specimens. Needless to say we are staying put in our present location hoping for our turn of luck to remain with us tomorrow.
