1/20/13

A stock day of travel on the high seas; no noteworthy events to report, and really no thought worth mentioning. One
thing I can say is that fishing down below this season thus far has been awfully good; incredible in fact, again.
Between an abundance of fish, appropriately matched voyages, and a solid generation of well equipped anglers
enthusiastic and passionate in their pursuit of giant yellowfin tuna these past few years down below have revealed
the somewhat forgotten potential of this winter fishery.

Please take note anglers. The blooming popularity of these voyages is with good reason. The 2013 - 2014 Royal Star
summer/winter schedule is already in great demand. The trend of "let's wait and see before we book" spawned over
the past few years has been altered by the tremendous success ratio on all 2012 voyages, now trailing over into
Winter 2013.

The fishing, and operational successes of Royal Star, not the least of which is the addition of Fisherman's
Processing, have been rightly inspirational. Reservations for the 2013 - 2014 schedule are reflecting the wealth of
positives we guarantee Royal Star anglers. Please give Tracy and/or Capt. Brian Sims a call in the office if you
are considering any of our upcoming 2013 - 2014 voyages to assure availability.


In beautiful weather we continue along
drawn by a passion to where we belong
to seek grueling pleasure in seas far below
piques primitive instinct that very few know


A little nursery rhyme to start the day.
Good morning!
