Things Looking Up For Royal Polaris

"The weather continues to improve," said the report from the boat April 30, "with overcast skies, and a slight breeze out of the northeast.

"The weather was not the only thing to improve, we had a fair day of fishing on larger Yellowfin tuna. We had fish up to 274 pounds. If the sharks would give us a break, we could put together an excellent day. Wahoo continue to bite on the bank. Our lucky anglers today: Roger Hawtree, 190-pound Yellowfin tuna, Rocky Opliger. 215 pounds, Keith "They Call Me Earl" Patterson, 274 pounds, Steve Emmert, 202 pounds, Paul Engle, 222 pounds. That makes four over 200 pounds for the day. Today's winner for the Jerry Brown Line One daily jackpot was Keith "They Call Me Earl," Patterson.

"We are having a tough time getting flyers tonight, but we will try again in the early morning hours. With that note, wish us luck and we will continue to report on our daily events."
