Royal Star Fish Report

8-23-2004
Royal Star

What a spectacular day offshore featuring the most beautiful, crisp atmosphere and perfect, flat calm seas with just a hint of breeze to keep the temperature cool and water temps consistent. The fishing was right in line with the weather and was perhaps the best we have experienced this season with mammoth schools of jumbo albacore biting with complete abandon. To top it off, trophy bluefin in the 150 - 200# class made a showing late and although we have nothing but heartbreak and failure to report in this department, we know where they are and were very encouraged by the fact that we actually coaxed a few bites out of the wary beasts. This was one of those days that we can never get enough of and as such we can hardly wait to see what tomorrow will bring.
