Royal Polaris Sportfishing Fish Report

7-13-2008
Bill Roecker

"Weather continues to be wonderful," read the report from Royal Polaris July 11. "Flat seas, clear skies, and warm days. Our morning started out a bit slow, but as the day grew older, the fishing became hotter. We had a dream day of paddy hoping. We caught Dorado, Bluefin, Yellowfin, Yellowtail, and Albacore.

"Some of our passenger had never caught a saltwater fish, and today they had their chance. With good weather, it was easy finding kelps throughout the day. Some of the kelps were holding fish that wanted to bite. But as fishing goes, some bite while others don't. Most of the Albacore were in the 18 to 25-pound category, while the Bluefin and Yellowfin were in the 12 to 18-pound range. The Dorado were good size, with the larger ones going in the high 20-pound range."

Skipper Roy Rose docked the RP at Fisherman's Landing July 13 at the end of the three-day trip with 36 anglers.

Joe Kutschka of Oro Valley, AZ won first place for a 39.5-pound albacore. Ralph Hughes of San Diego took second place with a 38.3-pounder, and also won third place for a 36-pound albie.
