Royal Star Fish Report

6-29-2009
Royal Star

Based on the criteria set forth in yesterday's report we were just getting warmed up. There were a few moments when fish began to stack up and it looked like we were going to hit that overdrive gear. But just when things would get rolling the fish would back off and give us time to catch up, clean up, and prepare for the next flurry. Overall it was a good afternoon of steady action on a very nice grade of yellowfin tuna. The size average was fifty to sixty pounds with a handful of standouts in the seventy five to ninety five pound class. Combined with a couple of handfuls of twenty to thirty pound yellowtail and good working weather the recipe for a memorable day of Alijos rocks action was complete. We're off to a good start.

Now that we are established the trick is to keep the ball rolling with another good day of yellowfin tuna and yellowtail action. Everything we can muster is presently in our favor so we will see how the fish gods treat us today. Needless to say we are more than ready to turn it on still striving for that big hit to satisfy our nearly insatiable catching instinct. Luck to all of us out here tomorrow.

Honestly the fishing results were no surprise as the lower offshore zone went into a funk about ten days...... Read More

Points south beckon as our regular schedule resumes and continues through the end of the 2009 season. As usually occurs when we insert the special 1 1/2 day "mini" long range voyages into our schedule, many new acquaintances were made and good times had as numerous anglers, previously tentative about the long range experience, were introduced to how Royal Star is operated. With our highly experienced, veteran crewmen, superb cuisine, all inclusive fares, complimentary filleting/fish cleaning, and impeccably maintained vessel,...... Read More
