Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

Well we always say one good stop is all it takes to make a day, or in some cases even make a trip. Yesterday was a testament to this belief as scant results on the wahoo and a long, slow day of waiting came to an abrupt end at just after five p.m. Fortunately, following yesterday's example of how fast things can turn around, our anglers were well prepared for the possibility of some good tuna action; and a good thing it was. One school of one hundred to one hundred forty pound yellowfin moved in late and brought their appetite with them biting with complete abandon for a good thirty minutes before easing off to crash around the boat and clean up a few baits that survived the initial onslaught. Again the sharks were a factor, but these anglers prevailed from our first of two stops, landing fourteen of the better size yellowfin unscratched through the gang of relentless offenders. I can't say the same for round two, where the sharks were the obvious victors in the skirmish, but because of our success in the first round, spirits remained high regardless. So passes another day with mercifully improved weather conditions and plenty good enough fishing to view tomorrow with eager optimism. We are looking to conclude our time below on a good note and will find out if the fish god's continue to view us with favor tomorrow.
