Steady action today mixing it up between old school live bait presentations and regular kite bites. Everyone was energized and engaged throughout the day as the random timing and distribution of bites required simple effort to produce the result that anglers were seeking. Yellowfin tuna in 90 - 120 pound class, and a significant mix of 150 - 170's, were complimented by three bruisers that cleared the two hundred pound threshold.

We forge into day three satisfied that we are in the right place at the right time. While fairly agreeable the weather could stand to improve a notch or two. The forecast suggests that such a wish just may come to fruition as a calm stretch with legs is due to arrive Thursday morning. Overall good living is how I would describe it.

Good fishing among friends old and new in absolutely stress free surroundings. Every fish landed is received by one and all as if it were their own. Genuine exclamations of joy and success, congratulations all around, and sincere excitement for the victor's achievement are the trademark of a group of long range anglers having fun. This is them - a signature group of individuals creating an inclusive atmosphere that equally celebrates the time and accomplishments.

Photo today features long time Royal Star and long range veteran Dr. Stuart Exall who made relatively short work of this 203 he landed as twilight set upon us. Unlike the possessed demon Stuart wrangled with on his last adventure to the edge this dandy was fairly civil acquiescing to a RSW ride north in route to the Fisherman's Processing jerky block.
