Royal Star Fish Report

O.K. For all you statistics buffs here is the big fish tally direct from the board. It seems that my mental tally was a little conservative during the big couple of days of offshore/birdschool fishing at the end of our voyage, but that is not unusual as most of those who have fished with me can attest to. Nineteen over two hundred pounds is the grand total with one of those weighing 324 and two of the nineteen released by visionary angler Bruce Posthumus. The real story in the yellowfin over two hundred pounds is not the quantity however but the quality with an average weight of two hundred fifty one pounds. These weren't just the average two hundred to two hundred fifteen pounders we encounter so often offshore associating with the big black dolphins. This was a school of straight jumbos that are certain to impress when we pull them from the hatch tomorrow.

On that note, our arrival time is scheduled for 0700, Saturday, MayPanerai Luminor Marina Replica watch Audemars Piguet Replica Alinghi Limited Edition Rolex Cellini Replica Rolex Sky-Dweller Replica 26th and we will likely begin unloading the fish around 0745 - 0845. If any of you would like to visit Fisherman's Landing tomorrow and see some beautiful giant yellowfin being unloaded, your company is always welcome. Otherwise we will arrive tomorrow morning and remain at the dock next week through Friday, June 1st when we begin our series of one and one half day introduction to long range voyages through Sunday, June 17th.

Today, with a little extra time in our favor following yet another day of flat calm weather traveling northward, we plan to do a little prospecting for albacore and bluefin tuna on the outside. We actually saved a couple scoops of bait in the event we had a little extra time so we are well prepared in the event we run across anything significant. Look for our final fishing report with the details tomorrow as we hope our incredible good fortune extends to become a few albacore today.

What a beautiful day of traveling in crystal clear atmospheric conditions with light winds and close to flat calm seas. A minor offshore swell is all there was to make the boat easily rise or sway on occasion; just enough motion to remind us we were northwest bound three hundred miles offshore on our trek towards San Diego. Naturally the mood, buoyed by the fantastic weather, was light, and the majority of the day was spent relaxing and reminiscing about...... Read More

What a fantastic example this voyage has been of how dynamic offshore fishing can be, and how remarkable long range fishing is. Think about it. Just four days ago, we were suffering through hideously slow fishing getting tossed around in a relentless, sloppy sea, looking at tons of big tuna that would not eat anything to save our lives. Five entire days this drudgery continued and despite our best efforts to remain positive, even the best of us began to...... Read More
