Royal Star Fish Report

5-25-2007
Royal Star

Wow, apparently there is plenty of curiosity and speculation out there as to where we found this incredible area of big fish. Outside the line at Isla Clarion is the answer. I have to admit that the idea was not original as Captain Brian Sims, formerly of the Q105, passed along information from his final voyage two weeks prior that indicated good sign of big fish in that vicinity. I will say that it made for a lot of running during the day, as the stop and go style fishing consisted of chasing bird schools and areas of black dolphins that were wild, and difficult to catch up with the vast majority of the time, but, as reported, it only takes one or two lucky stops to find success. I also must add that especially when the weather was disagreeable, the opportunity to run into the lee of the island and anchor at night was a much appreciated slice of heaven.

This has been a regular routine during the 2007 winter/spring long trip season that many of us have been following with varying degrees of success. In the case of this voyage, luck in timing was obviously in our favor, and believe me, we recognize and appreciate every bit of good fortune that comes our way. Just to throw it out there however, I'll tell you that I have learned more about the area outside the islands - San Benedicto, Soccorro, Roca Partida, and Clarion in the past two years of tagging and standard fishing voyages, than I did in a long time running trips to the islands when we had full access. As happens so often in fishing, necessity and/or adversity is the mother of invention. After these past two seasons working in the outside waters surrounding the Revillagigedo's, I can say with certainty that for many years we were missing a fishery for giant yellowfin with HUGE potential. Every trip we are learning that much more, and this trip was another big lesson. I am glad I was there for it.

We arrive at Fisherman's Landing this morning, Saturday, May 26 and

as reported will be tying up for five days before getting back on line with a series of one and one half day voyages. We spent our final day of travel yesterday looking for offshore sign in beautiful, flat calm weather. With good weather and plenty of time in our favor, we worked our way up the outside track in search of any sign for the fleet to work on. Nothing to report as such but many times, especially early in the season, it is just as important to know where not to go. In this respect we performed our job admirably as the fleet coming down can now check our track from yesterday off the list. So with that we sign off and will post a few trip photos during the next few days. Look for our fishing reports to commence again after June first.
