Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star
A good time was had by all. Once again the yellowtail action down the line was absolutely splendid along with the weather and scenery that put the finishing touch on an epic day of long range fishing. This day beautifully characterized the allure of long range fishing that combines unmatched fishing potential with the sights and sounds of remote regions of Baja California's rugged coast as well as the final frontier we know as the open ocean. To describe the feeling, the exhilaration as we slide into acres of yellowtail gouging big holes in the glassy surface while one is standing by on the bow ready to heave the surface iron, can only be done for the benefit of those who have lived the experience. If you haven't, let your imagination run wild and dream that the culmination of all your desires is at your fingertips moments from realization and glory; then you may begin to grasp the sentiment a fisherman feels at such moments.
To finalize our already incredible day we finished up in our "secret" big fish spot and just as we prepared to leave with only a few fish to show for our effort the ocean erupted in every direction around us, so close in some cases that the frantic yellowtail actually crashed into the hull pursuing desperately fleeing sardines. Of course pandemonium ensued and in addition to the smaller twenty pound class fish, half a dozen bruisers from forty five to fifty four pounds were landed. Unbelievable, epic; unreal? No. Another incredible day of long range fishing.
Now we are on the move again heading up the line to target and few more jumbo albacore, and with any luck, some trophy bluefin for our fresh tanks tomorrow.
