Royal Star

The outside treated us right today with a good day on both yellowfin tuna and big yellowtail in the beautiful, flat calm conditions this island is so well known for. It wasn't easy, which is typical for this island, but every angler who put in the time and effort at the rail had a few quality fish to show for it by day's end. I can't say that we were overly impressed with the signs of fish around but the results from our efforts demonstrated that there is presently more than meets the eye in this zone.

Taking the day's success into account, we have no plans to relocate as we are in an ideal position to focus on straight quality. With any luck conditions will hold and we will finish our time at the island in fine style before heading back offshore for our final day.

As such we adjusted our game plan seeking to take advantage of the opportunity and, with any luck, expand our knowledge of...... Read More
