Good "skinnin'" here today; steady strikes, steady fishing, and steady catching on the coveted speedsters. Fine working weather complemented non stop action following our late morning arrival. A full host of hijinks too numerous to list made for a grand time. This opportunity, at this time of the year, is an incredible bonus. Everyone here recognizes the obvious. And that adds big to an overall ebullient tenor. To receive favor this good feels as if we are getting away with something. No doubt we are.

Sixty three more of these wily devils now reside in our RSW hatch that is open and ready to accommodate plenty more tomorrow. As rich as wahoo are when shared at the table with family and friends an "extry" one, two, or three apiece will certainly be enjoyed consistent with their gourmet value.

Our photo today features long time Royal Star friend and veteran Mr. Tom Cahillane. At eighty years young no words I assemble can adequately express our admiration, respect, and affection for Tom. Suffice it to say that everything consistent with the term "Man" is presented in Tom; and "gentleman". Old school values, manners, grit, and style attract the respect and attention of everyone today sadly because they are something uncommon. And I can assure you that men like Tom Cahillane are certainly not common.

Tom bagged a couple nice "skinnies" today and gave back at least a handful more; the best of which came flying out of the water about twenty feet off the stern before breaking off a moment later. It was so much fun watching that stripped devil fly from the water with Tom's bait in his jaws that the sacrifice didn't even matter. We all shared a big laugh and moved on to the next one; of which there were plenty...

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...... Read More

01/18/15 An immensely gratifying turn of events as luck this morning was in our favor. Perhaps there was a little more to it than luck - lessons hard learned tend to elicit hyper astute evaluation and adjustments, but still, no matter how much fishing the fisherman is responsible for, the fish themselves, and conditions, must align. There have been an awful lot of days in my career when I figured the reason something didn't go our way correctly and made the...... Read More
