Royal Star Fish Report

We're plugging away at it now with good mid day, mixed bag action on beautiful quality yellowfin, "ballslapper" grade dorado, and nice yellowtail. We did have a morning of intense consternation as one of our neighbors clobbered the nice tuna while we caught very little observing from the nickel seats. After fighting down the nausea and humiliation, we got with the program around noon however and put in a strong afternoon performance actually surpassing our morning nemesis's action by a long shot. Victory, in any proportion, can be so gratifying. For a variety of good reasons, the most important, and obvious being steady fishing of quality yellowfin, we opted to give it one more day on the outside before moving on. With weather forecasts heading in the right direction, we are looking forward a day of looking in the trophy yellowfin zone before all is said and done. First things first though, we will concentrate on the bird in hand in our present location tomorrow.

It is a rare day that comes easy out here and that lesson was painfully evident to anglers today who put their time in at the rail and suffered plenty of heartbreak. Overall the day was far from a...... Read More
