Fish Report for 10-19-2012
10/18/12
Happy times here today as calm seas, sunshine, and good fishing set things right. A renewed
appreciation for all things good was the resounding theme as we pulled on yellowtail, took
in the sights, breathed deep and savored the sweet aroma of a morning desert refreshed by
the recent down pour; everything right was magnified, and rightly so.
Cruising northward over sheet glass in the late afternoon we were compelled by the perfect
calm to stop one final time and smell the roses. Drawn by conditions, and deference to
Royal Star tradition, we pulled into one of our favorite kelp bass destinations and
enthusiastically railed the perfect size "eaters" for a delightful one hour respite. As
always I am thrilled to see how many anglers are well prepared to take full advantage of
such opportunities when they arise.
A final morning to target offshore tuna will be the order tomorrow before we call this
voyage a success and head for the barn. Today's image is the final sunset photo assault. I
snapped this out the bridge window in tribute to restored tranquility. Ahhh...

10-18-201210/17/12 A few nice yellows to go around in the a.m. then, abruptly, they quit biting in advance of the arrival of the tropical tyrant "Paul". Prepared for the occasion well in advance we stuck with the plan taking the afternoon off while the remnant Tropical Depression passed directly overhead. Regardless of the dissipated Hurricane's lack of lethal fury anglers were still treated to a brief show of force, about four or five hours, during which everyone on board was easily...... Read More

10/16/12 We worked north west into a detestable pile up harried from below into the Hurricane Paul induced, yellowtail bottleneck. At all times we do our best to preserve the essence of long range fishing in the form of plenty of elbow room. But there are those unique periods, such as today, when the forces of fishing and Mother Nature require we deviate from our preference. Today we mixed it up accordingly scratching our share in pleasant working conditions. The hassle of...... Read More
