Royal Star Fish Report

Again we apologize for the lack of reporting due to our satellite phone being unable to connect to our host server. I was able to call in this report today to give everyone an idea of the incredible fishing we've had over the last 5 days. Every morning we've had a good hit on fish between 170 and 190 pounds and currently we have 12 over 200 pounds. The weather has been a bit rugged but we've been fortunate that it has not affected the fishing. We have a fantastic load of anchoveta that we caught in Panama which has contributed to the great fishing we've experienced. Yesterday afternoon we found a spot of fish that was loaded with all sizes from 50 to 150 pounds and we were able to pour the bait over the side and witness a display that only a lucky few of all long range anglers get to see each year. There were free swimmers and everyone on the boat had a fish on. It was an incredible sight to see and another reason why this is one of my favorite places to fish. We've been releasing a lot of fish and started up our RSW tank yesterday and have been putting both yesterday and today's keepers in the tank so they will be sushi quality when our passengers return. This morning the weather was fantastic and we started out with 8 fish in the 160-190 range, one at 217, and one at 233. Tomorrow is our last day of fishing and I'm confident that once we get to Cabo San Lucas our phone signal will be strong enough to send a detailed summary of our trip. So until then, wish us continued success.
