Good news from the regional offshore grounds hot off the wire. Real deal catching on bluefin tuna from 30 - 75#'s and yellowfin tuna from 15 - 22# in the mix! The fish that the offshore guys are on today are roughly 150 - 170 miles - very good sign and epic indicators of more good things soon to come, and in the upcoming month of June. I have been reminding one and all during the past couple of months about the sign of bluefin we have been seeing regularly offshore and how such indications relate to our upcoming June voyages.

As of now we still have plenty of space available on the Sunday June 15th - Sunday June 22nd, Larry Brown/Dave Berutich sponsored seven day voyage, and lots of openings on the Blackwater sponsored six day from Sunday June 22nd - Saturday June 28th. Both of these voyages boast a convincing catch history and fantastic core group of dedicated anglers. This is the ideal opportunity to take advantage of what I am confident will be a successful June 2014. We are going to see some very good fishing in the traditional primo time of year for Bluefin tuna. The yellowfin are already here and I suspect that there will be more very encouraging reports to come.

Look for the scores to be posted at day's end and by all means give Tracy a call in the office to take advantage of the two voyages that we have this summer with abundant availability! One more week at the dock working on a few minor boat projects and Royal Star will be back in the mix. We begin our summer 2014 schedule next Friday, May 30th departing on our first eight day of the season.

Until then I will update the site with pertinent information. Otherwise we'll be back on line for the duration beginning next week. We already can't wait to go fishing! It is going to be a very successful, very interesting year.
