Royal Star Fish Report

1-9-2007
Royal Star

All the guys working in the "beach" big fish zone yesterday continued to see decent sign of fish although no big hits on cows were to be had. Regardless the prospects are still very good and as such we will be heading back up towards the area following our afternoon of fishing Jaime bank just to the southwest of Cabo San Lucas. Ah the beauty of the fly down/ fly back voyage. Just think, the anglers, fresh from a night of revelry in town, will board Royal Star at 11:00 a.m. this morning, and will be fishing for giant yellowfin tuna by three in the afternoon. Minimize travel time, maximize fishing time; that's the idea. In fact, this ten day voyage from Cabo last year featured nine and one half days fishing time! Before I get too carried away however, first we must get on the fish and get them to bite, otherwise we will be logging miles and travel time in pursuit of a catch just like anyone else. Make no mistake about it, we are dutifully aware of, and respectful of the fact, that our fate is in the hands of the fish gods. At present though optimism is in our favor and in a very short time we will begin to see how the fishing phase of this voyage begins to unfold. With beautiful weather today and more in the forecast, we are definitely beginning with the correct foot forward.
