While the final day offshore has been somewhat of a broken record over the past two weeks with similar conditions and results in the catching category, I can definitely report that the vanguards are pushing north and indicate that in this region there is good fishing to come. Exactly when that will be is the question of course as we have all pounded the broad area for virtually the same results wherever we search - a few handfuls of each species but nowhere to really focus our effort. Like I said this type of sign offshore typically bodes well for later but presently results in little more than a few handfuls of random fish from various stops throughout the region. Time will tell.

In the catching department the good news is that we once again have a fine haul of beautiful island yellowtail in the RSW tank as well as a few offshore varieties that easily classify this voyage as a fishing success. Overall, and most importantly, the annual Michael "Q" charter always has a good time regardless of the caliber of fishing. Between good company at the rail, phenomenal cuisine prepared by Chef's Drew Rivera and Jeffery Grant in the galley, and professional instruction and assistance by our veteran crew, anglers who fish with Mike Q relax and enjoy their vacation as much as they focus on pursuing the quarry. So, thank you to this fantastic group of anglers from all of us at Royal Star. We appreciate and always enjoy the opportunity to share your company at sea.

Now the show goes on as Captain Toussaint assumes command on our annual Pfishcadora four day offshore adventure. Look for Randy's sporadic reports to continue with all the details as they unfold. With good weather in the forecast and "Old Lucky" on his way back out, look for significant improvement in the offshore arena as the stage is ripe for significant change.
