Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

It took us awhile to find them this morning and once again we began our day fighting the weather but luck definitely turned in our favor as the traditional pattern of the wind abating by noon kicked in and the seas flattened out to zero in the early afternoon. Things were looking a little shaky in the fishing department as well with our long morning sojourn encountering nothing until ten a.m. and when we finally did get on a spot the better size tuna showed very little interest in biting. Oh how quickly events can change however and following the arrival of a huge spot of fish in the early afternoon we began doing some business hitting spots and hooking fish in the 40 - 120 pound class. In addition we definitely had at least a couple of shots at cows but weren't able to capitalize using the eighty pound tackle. Once again we saw very good indications of fish today and with a huge improvement in their attitude from yesterday and the weather cooperating we have high hopes that the pattern will continue in the right direction. Overall we put together a good day of fishing with good quality and quantity now all we need is for the percentage of cows to increase and we will be in perfect shape. They are here and we are seeing them now it is simply a matter of time, effort, and of course, a little luck from the fish gods.

In addition we have many new faces to Panama aboard all of whom are thrilled to be heading out...... Read More
