Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

Steady scratching would best describe the quality yellowfin tuna action here at the island with a little bit here and a little bit there throughout the day adding up to a fine score by day?s end. The key to success was a full effort at the rail as various stops produced while others did not and nothing was obvious as to when, how, and why. The Blackwater fluorocarbon was definitely a huge advantage for those in pursuit of the biggest yellowfin as the cagey bruisers cruised the outskirts satisfied to provide a show by crashing around on most stops but were reluctant to take up the battle cry against our anglers. Fortunately there were some mistakes made on their part and we were able to take advantage landing a couple of handfuls in the seventy to ninety five pound class in addition to a good number of the "school" size twenty five to fifty pounders.

As we are well positioned to continue the pursuit of the big yellowfin in our present location, and are thoroughly enjoying all the amenities this beautiful island has to offer, we plan to give this at least one or two more full days before considering other options. With all the information we are receiving from our colleagues from other potential destinations, there presently is no place we would rather be.

With the extreme southern range of this voyage well covered, we will begin much closer to home as there are...... Read More
