Royal Star
Not exactly a barn burner today with yesterday's promising albacore zone fizzling out setting us up for a day of marginally productive offshore prospecting. Although our results in the hatch were slim, we did see several interesting signs, most notably an area of 15 - 20# yellowfin tuna that were reluctant to bite but present in fair quantity. For the time of year and the area these yellowfin were in one has to wonder how this season is going to play out. Several indications are pointing toward a year featuring warmer conditions and an earlier showing of tropical favorites such as yellowfin and dorado, but it is still a little early to predict. The important fact is that although we did not do a lot of catching yesterday, we did see signs and good conditions. The set up continues to show promise as the month of June progresses and I am certain we have some good surprises awaiting us. At day's end we continued our southerly tack intending to make a morning coastal stop before considering our next move down the line.
