Not exactly a "primo" weather day with heavy rain squalls and sloppy conditions making for tough time of it. But we
did manage to stack a few in the hatch as the afternoon finally provided a break and the fish cooperated
accordingly. We didn't load up by any measure but as always success is relative. Though we endured less than
favorable conditions the results were worth the ride.

So here we remain as the present set of options dictates such. One big day will set us right. Photo today features
Marius Coetzee putting the big gear good use while pulling on a beefy 185. Making his annual pilgrimage all the way
from South Africa, Marius is a huge favorite among Royal Star crewmen and anglers alike with his warm personality
and always reliable sense of humor.
