We're off to a good start with one mother lode kelp discovered mid morning producing exactly what we were hoping for. Epic action on 15 - 25# dorado and 20 - 30# yellowfin tuna lasted for a good couple of hours thoroughly satisfying the catching urge until we supplemented the final tally with a few more from an afternoon find. The kelps were few and far between, and the weather was at best decent for looking, so we were thankful to get the job done scratching this species and mode of fishing off the list as we continue the southerly push in search of premium quality yellowfin tuna. So far so good. With happy anglers and a warmed up crew, we are ready to get down to business catching, handling, and dressing out quality yellowfin tuna in our distinct Royal Star fashion. If a few wahoo and yellowtail want to join the action, we will be equally pleased to welcome them aboard. The fish gods smiled upon us today so we will see if we can maintain the standard set with more good fishing for this group of fantastic anglers tomorrow and beyond.
