Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

After so many years of dedication and effort Warren Sakamoto was rewarded the ultimate long range triumph of landing his three hundred pounder; three hundred three in this case. The expressions of pure jubilance and satisfaction are beaming from Warren in the round of photos today and rightly so. I have fished with Warren for at least ten or twelve years and have always respected his dedication at the rail, fisherman's sense, and ambition of landing a three hundred pound yellowfin. To see his efforts rewarded in the final moments of this latest Revillagigedo voyage was a very satisfying event for the Royal Star crewmen and I as we have shared so many days with Warren on the water that the pursuit became common rather than individual. Actually, this is true of all the anglers we share the deck of Royal Star with. Regardless I'll let the photos relate the true story today that ended with Warren's trophy powerfully charging away to carry on at Isla Clarion. Congratulations on your catch Warren and I look forward to the next adventure.

I spoke of Len's character during the voyage and can only add...... Read More

I am going to deviate from the tagging voyage in text today as I want to pass on some important 2009-2010 schedule changes on Royal Star. With the overall economic climate being what it is and the price of fuel appearing to stabilize well below projections, we have adjusted prices on select voyages as well as returning to our "all inclusive" pricing format. All fares include permit costs and island bracelets when necessary. There will be no fuel surcharges unless...... Read More
