Royal Star Fish Report

We have definitely had our share of good luck this trip and yesterday was another example of the roll we are on. Beautiful, flat calm weather and perfect conditions greeted us on the yellowtail grounds and even before daylight we began scratching a few twenty five to thirty five pound fish. Things got better from there as daylight brought the fish to the surface in a biting mood. In addition to fantastic action on everything from the surface iron to live bait, the quality of the yellowtail was exceptional with the size average in the twenty to twenty five pound class. Aside from a few brief lulls, the pace continued to improve as the morning progressed into afternoon but by that time we were thoroughly satisfied with our catch of yellowtail. With plenty of time on our hands to continue the quest, we are underway again on a northerly heading with plans to fish offshore tomorrow targeting albacore and bluefin. Good weather is forecast to hold so it appears our ride up the line will be a pleasant one.

With the prospect of good size bluefin, good weather, and plenty of time, we have no intention of leaving this zone while this incredible weather holds. There are still a few good spots of the better size bluefin around, it is just a...... Read More
