Fish Report for 3-9-2012
3/8/12
A pretty un-inspirational report today as we slogged up the line feeling
somewhat akin to a salmon struggling up river against an unrelenting current.
Though the weather was decent our velocity was abominable setting us up for a
1030 ETA at Fisherman's Landing on Saturday, March 10th. So be it; the important
leg of the northward run was completed in record time and comfort.
For now we primp and prepare Royal Star for our colossal upcoming maintenance
project scheduled to begin as soon as the fish are unloaded and the boat is shut
down on Saturday. For certain I plan to continue the stream of daily reports
during our down time as I still have a wealth of Clipperton images I am eager to
share at full resolution. Also, I look forward to sharing the progress of our
mechanical projects as we continue to invest heart and soul into the safe,
reliable operation of our vessel.
To return to the present however I remind all Clipperton anglers with plans to
meet us on Saturday to call Tracy in the office today after 1400 hrs. to receive
the most current ETA update. If you do not speak with her directly the ETA will
be available on our office answering machine after hours.
Photos for the day feature Thai anglers "Ming" and "Stan" enjoying the moment of
victory with their 185 (Ming) and 207 (Stan) respectively. In the case of "Stan"
this was his third over the deuce for the voyage all of which were taken using
his trusted Shimano Talica 25. If you are heading down to the show look for
Capt. Randy Toussaint and Brian Sims to be present today!

3-9-20123/7/12 It was in high spirits that anglers departed loading into waiting launches in the early morning following sincere exchanges of gratitude, affection, and appreciation. Fine weather followed us all the way into the once sleepy enclave of Cabo San Lucas to compliment the ultimate leg of the perfect northward journey. Around the corner was a different story. As so many past Cabo to San Diego sojourns have demonstrated the fly home option is offered for a compelling reason. By early afternoon...... Read More

03/06/12 Another day of flat calm, even calmer than the previous two in that the long interval swell diminished, to cement the glowing success and positive atmosphere encompassing this entire voyage. Across the board we all feel the same. We experienced the distinct magic of Clipperton as a result of strong planning and preparation, and even stronger divine intervention. No matter how one slices it when it comes to fishing the luck factor in timing cannot be denied. We nailed this one...... Read More
