Royal Star Fish Report for 5-12-2017
Unsettling
5-12-2017
Tim Ekstrom
A warm welcome in Cabo San Lucas and quick passage across placed us square in the zone yesterday morning. What appeared to be a setting brimming with promise promptly fizzled leading to a seek and destroy mission that sadly failed in it's objective. Not from a lack of fish (sound familiar?) the potential for glory is certainly around. Wresting such results from this offshore paradise however may be an order a little broad. Though it is early, far too early for panic, there is definitely an unsettling component to day one in the promised land.
We'll see what tomorrow brings. It's not uncommon to see a change, or for fishing to fall off for a day or two, following the full moon. For now we plan to bide our time, settle in, and scratch whatever is available. At the very least we do have other options and a wealth of time; a good thing in every respect. Speaking of good things the weather is treating us with kindness, and is expected to soon be flat calm; always a bonus regardless of what is, or isn't, on the end of the lines. Look for tomorrow's report with more details. And, don't wait to book those 1 ½ day voyages if you are thinking about going. Captain/Co-Owner Brian “Gerbie” Sims is manning the office and informed me that all three are filling fast. With the local opportunities at offshore bluefin, and now beautiful grade yellowtail showing up along the coast, I'm not surprised.
