Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

We finished up the trip in fine style this morning with an incredible bite on straight cows that saw another seven hit the deck from 205-281. There were a few 150-190 mixed in also but the majority of the fish around us at daylight were 200lb plus. Mackerel on the heavy gear was the way to go with many of the bites coming within feet of the boat. Today we have a rare shot of the seven cows, more pictures to follow as we travel up the line.
Our final tally on the big fish was 26 over 200 and 2 over 300, following is a list of the anglers who boated them.

Far more compelling is Floyd's warm character present in every aspect of his significant time spent on Royal Star. We are lucky to have him, and his wife Jan and extended family, fishing with us on Royal Star. As default ambassadors we could not be more fortunate. Floyd in particular personifies every quality one could hope for when sharing the rail with one...... Read More

We started the morning with a nice scratch on 100-190lb fish but unfortunately the two cows we hooked were unintentionally released. After a slow midday we got back in the saddle and put together a nice afternoon on 130-170lbers with a couple jumbos that weighed in at 281 and 338. This has been a cow fishermans dream with numerous shots at big fish just about every day. Tomorrow will be our last morning so hopefully we can top off...... Read More
