Royal Star Fish Report

6-28-2005
Royal Star

Our sojourn into the southern bluefin zone was definitely adventurous as we encountered twenty five knot winds and accompanying seas. Of course such conditions are no match for Royal Star, which handles very well in such conditions; especially while drifting, but I would be stretching the truth if told you it was a pleasant day on the water. The good news is that we did indeed find a few bluefin landing eighteen to verify the fact, but none of the fish landed exceeded thirty five pounds. We did see one school of bigger fish that showed some interest in our offerings but none of the cowards were brave enough to try one of our hooked baits. As you can determine from this report a good sense of humor was an essential attribute yesterday as the hours passed slowly between stops. At present, we are done with rugged offshore conditions as we thankfully headed in last night with plans to fish coastal yellowtail tomorrow. Plenty of calm weather and some good fishing action should do wonders for our spirits. Let us hope for good fortune tomorrow.

We did manage to scratch up four nice Wahoo but that was all in the...... Read More

With no reports from the lower zones for almost ten days now the decision was made to begin our fishing at the bottom end and work our way north as necessary. While traveling down yesterday, we covered plenty of excellent ground traditionally considered a likely zone for action at this time of year. As it...... Read More
