We poked and picked along in beautiful offshore weather accumulating a satisfying catch of mixed 15 – 22# yellowtail and school size yellowfin tuna. A few exotics spiced up the program adding color and energy to the cause. A little here and a little there throughout the day kept everyone active and engaged enjoying the epic conditions while pursuing their fishing passion. All good is how I would describe it.

Day two will find us somewhere along the coast switched into variety mode. Good weather promises a pleasant time of it regardless of what makes it's way into the hold. But add a few fish, actually more than a few, and we'll be gold. Photo today features a welcome face from the past. Royal Star angler Dave Duncan rejoined the fray picking up exactly where he left off. This nice yellowtail was typical of the “kelp grade” we encountered througout the day.
