Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star
We opted to move on seeking variety in scenery and species as we are now very well off in the 50 - 75# yellowfin tuna department. Good fortune definitely smiled upon us again as our third day was the best yet with very steady action on both the kites and sardines beginning just after 0700 hrs and continuing through the early evening. In fact it was so good on the kites that we made it through the twenty four man rotation two full times in about six hours of fishing much of it with only one kite in service as the deck requirements were demanding the entire crew at the rail. Wow! What a fantastic three days of action that were by far the best I have seen at this location in at least three or four years. So now with a beautiful load of fresh, meticulously spiked, bled, and gutted 50 - 99# yellowfin tuna in our RSW tanks, we head up the line, looking to spend a few days on the coast targeting yellowtail before putting in some time offshore in pursuit of bluefin tuna on our final day. Our good weather continues and we expect more of the same as we will be island fishing for at least the next couple of days.
