The derby style, all day and night, fishing packs plenty of rail time into these current voyages doubling the chances of landing the bluefin one comes for. Of course rest management can become a challenge, but such is the fun. All time truth be told. And, if one is a genuine fishing junky like yours truly, this is what we live for. The grind adds color to the setting; separates one from another. My take on it is one borrowed from sports that Royal Star crewmembers know well. LFG!! 

Our day ended (began) in the success column logging both daytime action and a couple of decent runs at 'em in the dark. Good weather made that much better a time of it. The pace will not let up as we roll into the final stretch tomorrow. As has been the case an abundance of bluefin suggests plenty more opportunity to come.
