Fish Report for 12-8-2025

Accumulating

12-8-2025

Another round in the big fish arena produced scratch results on beautiful grade fish. Mostly 80-150’s, and a few that bumped up against the 200 mark, made the relatively modest numerical result well worthy of defined success. Throw in a full day of perfect, gorgeous weather and the package was complete. 

Picking away and steadily accumulating these nice ones the quantity goal at this stage of the voyage certainly feels within reach. Doing our best to narrow the search to the largest available we’ll see what tomorrow brings. A continued ideal forecast promises fine conditions for days to come. Today’s images first feature Charter Master, fishing legend, Royal Star friend, and CalStar owner Chris Yamada working hard at “product development” on the offshore grounds. Additional images feature Royal Star friends Dr. Dave Hall in a sunup stunner on the bow and Jose Arellano with a dandy 180 picked off on the flyline sardine mid day.
