Royal Star Fish Report

11-9-2004
Royal Star

Once again we have had communication problems, making it difficult for Tim to get his daily reports in, hopefully we will have these remedied by our next voyage.

As you can tell, the trip started out a bit slow, but they finished up with two days of great offshore tuna fishing, most of which were in the 18 - 40 lb class with an occasional school of 100 - 250 lbers. Tim said they hit one school yesterday that was straight 175 lb plus fish that they managed to boat two out of, both were over 200. Needless to say, this is a very exciting development and it sounds like we might have a repeat performance of last year.

The boat is now traveling up the line in nice weather and will arrive early Saturday morning.

With 3 full days left to fish we are going to give it a valiant effort and hopes of finding the right school remain high....... Read More

Much of the same at with tough conditions and very little to show for our efforts. Reports of scattered fish by the fleet continue and we?re anxious to get our shot. We will probably move inside if we don?t get a morning bite tomorrow....... Read More
