Royal Star Fish Report

7-4-2006
Royal Star

We definitely got off on the right foot here today which was quite a relief following some shaky reports about changing conditions and much less than eager yellowfin in this vicinity. We were very fortunate to make a stop while traveling down landing smack on top of the "candy" bait where we loaded up with high hopes of putting them to good use upon our arrival. As it turned out the soft bait made all the difference encouraging even the less enthusiastic yellowfin around us to join the party while the eating was good. Ironically, the only complaint we could muster is that the weather is too good with slack winds and grease calm conditions grounding all forms of aerial bait presentation until the early evening when a whiff of breeze stirred. With the breeze we were finally able to scramble a few kites confirming our suspicions about their potential. If the light breeze remains, there may be some good times in store for us tomorrow. We will see one way or the other as our game plan, barring the unexpected, is set for at least the next couple of days.
