Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star
Not to rub it in to the guys on the previous trip who paid some dues for all of us, but this is a great opportunity to reinforce the fact that conditions change rapidly on this ocean and a big portion of luck pays a role in the results of every trip. It's all about timing as we say and in the case of this trip timing so far is good. First of all the weather could not be better and as a result, the ocean is waking up following a week of breezy, rugged offshore conditions. Albacore are up and chomping in the local zone, yellowtail are cooperating at the islands, and most significant to us is the fact that we had a couple of good shots at bluefin yesterday including one school of 60 - 108# fish that gave us a hell of a show and bit pretty good for a couple of minutes. In addition to the bluefin, there has been some good action on fifteen to twenty five pound yellowfin in the same area that keeps everyone busy while waiting for a shot at trophy bluefin. Twenty four was our total on bluefin yesterday with eight of the 60 - 100# fish and fourteen in the thirty to forty pound range. Needless to say we are pleased with the potential we saw yesterday and planning to spend at least one more day in this zone tomorrow. A fantastic three day weather forecast has us hopeful that we will be able to stay on this bluefin for a few more days.
