Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

We finished up the trip today in fine style with incredible fishing on 35-50lb albacore in beautiful flat calm weather. It has been an amazing season on this trophy albacore, even Frank L can't recall such consistent fishing on this grade fish out of San Diego in his long career. There are also a few bigeye starting to show up, which might make for an interesting end to our short season.

We will be in tomorrow at 0700 and back out on another five day. Reports will resume on the 18th.

A classic day of long range fishing with nice steady action on yellowfin tuna from 30-90lbs and a sprinkling of yellows up to 57lbs. Fine scenery, flat calm weather, and fish crashing around all day added to the enjoyment. Sardines on the 40 and 50lb produced all the fish today. We are presently traveling up the line and plan to finish up the trip tomorrow in the offshore grounds, which picked up considerably today. ...... Read More

Nice steady fishing on 15-25lb yellows in great weather made for a welcome change from yesterday. Flylined sardines, yo yo jigs, and surface iron all produced well making for very fun angling. Everyone had their fill by late this afternoon and we are presently making another move in hopes of getting a shot at some bigger fish tomorrow....... Read More
