A strategic shift here spending the day underway in transit for blue pastures above. Of course production is still high on the priority list but variety is now our objective. Good on yellowfin tuna these anglers are now primed for a couple of shots at tasty speedsters that call. The allure of such table fare, and potential for real deal, prime time long range action, is too true to ignore.

Throw in a weather forecast that presents the opportunity exactly as we prefer and the setting is complete. Tomorrow will prove the value of this call, or the next day, or the next. Stretching the remaining fishing time throughout our passage north breaks up the ride to everyone's satisfaction. It's not often that the opportunity presents itself at this time of the year. So to this end we are now beholden; be nice to catch a few fish in the process.

Photo today features long time Alaskan fisherman and Royal Star veteran Ryan Long who bagged his new personal best a couple of days prior. This dandy 179 did the trick and whetted Ryan's appetite for the next, bigger trophy to come.

01/17/15 We got an invite to the morning party but wrestled with obstacles and squandered the opportunity. More than a little contrary fortune hampered the effort also, stumbling over our own "____'s", as we like to say, but that is the nature of fishing. Mathematics alone dictate that one will not be in the right place, at the right time, with the right mojo, one hundred percent of the time. And excuses and nonsense aside this morning was our turn in...... Read More
