Fish Report for 7-22-2014
7/21/14
This was a day that I wish everyone who shares the passion for long range style offshore fishing was here for. It was that
good. A memorable outing producing perfect quantity and quality; what an opportunity. So much so that we are now satisfied to
leave the freshening wind and building seas behind in favor of variety and preferred fishing conditions - we hope.
Weather permitting we'll have the chance to do a little southern offshore prospecting in advance of our ultimate destination.
Some colorful leapers would do wonders for contrast in our burgeoning primary RSW tank; a timid goal in light of the
precedent set. But we must live with the result of our extraordinary good fortune the remainder of this run. Trust that no
one's feelings are damaged by this consequence. The show goes on.
The camera took a timeout today as action at the rail demanded full attention. Fortunately I snapped a few "extry's" during
the first couple of days to make up for the deficit. Long time Royal Star veteran Brett Rapazo saw it all come together when
this corpulent, eighty five pound class bluefin came over the rail yesterday. "Livin' the dream"; one that is our present
reality.

7-21-20147/20/14 Another productive outing on U.S. Blues though the devils put us through the wringer as the day wore on. Vast quantities of bluefin in the 50 - 80 pound class tantalized our appetite for serious, long range style clobbering but their fickle disposition allowed none of it. We pieced it together, with most of our bluefin catch coming from one good, extended mid morning go around, while the 15 - 20# yellowfin filled in the gaps when the bluefin went into afternoon lockdown. Ample time...... Read More

7/19/14 We had an inquiry in the office a few days prior, thankfully the only one of its kind so far, that asked the question: "How is the Mexican ban on catching bluefin tuna going to affect our upcoming voyage?". My answer: "It's not". We make due, we make the most of whatever opportunities are available, and we have never had the success of any voyage predicated upon catching something specific before we leave the dock. This is fishing. It is the great unknown....... Read More
