Royal Star

A smooth turn around and back at it by 1130 departing on our eighth annual Jason Hammond five day voyage with a stellar group of ready anglers itching to get in on the action. A significant weather change on the outside will most certainly influence what has been but with the full moon coming and the spread of fish off shore I remain optimistic about our prospects. We will begin our fishing at daylight tomorrow hammering away at whatever we find while setting ourselves up for a move to the island afterward. A solid group of us will be working together tomorrow so we will see if we get on them and get the job done. It is a new day and a new trip with the challenge clearly set forth. As always we are eager to square off and get the job done. Stay tuned.
