Royal Star Fish Report

5-6-2005
Royal Star

As good as the sign and day was two days prior was as poor as the sign and our fishing results today. It really should come as no surprise considering the pattern so far, but despite the fact that we are all too familiar with the fickle, unpredictable nature of this island, it was very difficult not to feel disappointed following our efforts yesterday. From the cup half full perspective however we did see fair sign of fish, did land a few, had at least one good shot at a cow and several other heavy fish, so things could be much worse. In my estimation it was just a down day for the fish who were very reluctant to show themselves for any length of time, and hardly willing to bite when they did make their brief forays to the surface. The clock is definitely ticking as we head into our final two days and all we can hope for now is a good break in conditions and a good note to end our fishing on. We are absolutely loaded with bait that we have been prudently conserving for the right opportunity so now all we need is for our efforts to pay off with some good luck and timing.
