Royal Star Fish Report
2-20-2008
Royal Star
As we have just about come to expect, today's fishing unfolded almost opposite as the prior two with only a few yellowfin for the effort despite fine fishing conditions. In fact, conditions were so fine that we dedicated the morning to anchor fishing picking off a few tuna in the 60 - 150# class well after daylight and again missing on a couple of opportunities at bigger fish. Following the morning anchor effort, we headed back out to the edge in pursuit of wahoo and tuna and were ecstatic to find very good sign of yellowfin on the outside and plenty of eager wahoo as well. To top it off, the weather and sea state were again fantastic making for a perfect setting to gently heave yellowfin in the 100 - 150# class on the soft mats, insert tags, take a few snapshots, and successfully execute a healthy release. Aside from a few stops that went awry due to ferocious sharks, the day scored very high in our book for overall enjoyment and success. All things considered, we have been very fortunate thus far, with just about everything, aside from the expected but tolerable shark challenge, unfolding in our favor. As a result we are rightfully thankful and looking forward to our next two days that will likely be spent in fishing paradise on the outside.
