Royal Star Fish Report

5-5-2010
Royal Star

Happy Cinco de Mayo to any and all. If nothing else, for us Americans it is a good opportunity to sample southern libations - all of which may lead to good times. On the information side of things our office e-mail was down for a couple of days due to technical grief that was finally ironed out yesterday afternoon. If you were one of those left with a e-mail unanswered, or were perturbed by an inquiry that received no response, our apologies. We were unaware that the address was affected until yesterday morning. It took a day to straighten things out. Now we are back on line and will again be answering any and all e-mail correspondence promptly.

Photos today feature anglers Toke Aw, Tom Cahillane, and Dave Hall. All veterans to the tagging project, these men have a keen awareness, and appreciation of, just how special these voyages are. In particular today. the shot of Dave with the jumbo in the scoop strikes a chord. From my perspective, it is another one of the many fantastic photos that capture the distinct nature of the Revilla tagging project. Take a look at the photo and ask the question. Has there ever been anything like this in the history of sport fishing world wide? If anyone comes up with an answer please let me know. I'll conjure up a new project to occupy my perpetual forward drive. Have a great day!

This is roughly the difference between 50 - 60 and 135 - 145 pounds; in one year! The fish was released at Socorro...... Read More

Apparently some wires got crossed out on the deep blue and the last photos posted of Phil Bruce were actually duplicates of Warren Sakamoto. We got it straightened out yesterday so the correct photos are up. As I mentioned we are beach bound for the next couple of weeks. Randy, Brian, and I will be around the waterfront attending to a few small projects on Royal Star as well as joining Tracy in the office. I want to encourage any...... Read More
