Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

Our final full day was spent in leisure along the beautiful rugged baja coast catching a few yellowtail and calico bass while enjoying yet another day of magnificent, flat calm weather. We actually saw a fair amount of yellowtail in the first zone we fished, but with the load of fish we are carrying, we kept only a few handfuls, released a few others, and continued on our way, satisfied to leave them alone for the next time or when we may really need them. Our group of anglers, still on cloud nine following the best day of fishing of their lives, have taken full advantage of the setting partaking in plenty of spirited hijinks fueled by the pervasive celebratory atmosphere, and certainly more than one cocktail. As reported earlier, the production phase of the voyage has long since passed and these anglers are content to have a good time, catch a few fish, and bask in the glory of what they have seen and accomplished. At day's end we headed up the line clearing the famed, yet dreaded, north end of Cedros island after traveling up the equally famous, coveted flat calm lee side of the island just after dark. I am pleased to report that last night there was no noticeable difference from the lee to the weather side and as such we will likely make on final stop tomorrow for a few lunch and/or steamer fish while heading for home.

First of all, simply because this is what we do, I can not help but compare our...... Read More

The beautiful, flat calm weather continues to grace the most important stage of our voyage: fishing time. We passed the day in fine style enjoying some classic fall ridge action on 20 - 40# yellowfin that we gladly released, a few wahoo caught on both the anchor and the troll, and a mix of a few yellowtail and burly grouper to round out the exotic category. It is such a rare occasion that we find ourselves in the position to...... Read More
