Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

We finally got a little justice late in the form of a nice hit on yellowfin in the 150 - 170# class with one standout at 202. Mixed in with a couple of handfuls of fifty to ninety pounders from our morning and mid day action, the day was a success but by no means an easy task. Stops were few and far between with sloppy weather making the pursuit of these incredibly stealthy dolphins a near monumental challenge while every school found did not reliably produce. Such is fishing and such scenarios are expected as an inherent percentage of the pursuit of offshore game fish.

The good news is that we are catching and all indications point to a sufficient quantity of trophy yellowfin still around to keep all of us focused and plenty optimistic. With two full fishing days remaining, we have more than enough time to seek that one or two glory stops on jumbos before we make the short, downhill run to the Cape. With a good deal of luck and plenty of effort we will see if the timeless fishing combination will result in our favor.

We did manage to find one spot in the early a.m. that produced a couple of handfuls of 60 - 90# yellowfin, but the trophies we came here for eluded us to the end of daylight. Thankfully we have four full days to dedicate to the search, and a good quantity...... Read More
