Royal Star Fish Report

Royal Star

We could not have ordered up a better day or more fitting action in response to yesterday's offshore blank that I already gripped mightily about. Thankfully, today we enjoyed an entire day of fishing while anchored steadily scratching at beautiful grade yellowtail in grease calm, summer hot weather. Absolutely perfect fishing current, plentiful, perfect bait for this type fishing, phenomenal scenery, and nothing to do other than fish all day and enjoy to our heart's content. This was a very good day of relaxed, enjoyable fishing for everyone. It was also an appropriate conclusion to our fishing time this voyage that produced a very nice catch featuring classic fall ten day variety.

An interesting feature of this voyage was the significant amount of time we spent near the coast both while fishing and in transit that provided anglers the opportunity to get up close and personal with the spectacular rugged coastline of Southern Baja California. Now I realize that a long range fishing voyage is not a scenic tour and all you hardcore anglers out there only care about clobbering fish. But, the number of cameras in hand, photos taken, and sightseeing taking place as we cruised up and down the coast this voyage, even by our veteran's, did not slip my attention. Fortunately we made a very nice catch in the process - certainly the most important element of a successful long range fishing adventure.

So now we are in travel mode with a good weather forecast for the final leg of the trip up the line. Look for one more update from this voyage tomorrow as well as many high quality photos to come. Capt. Toussaint will be returning on the next voyage so look for the long winded embellishments to grind to a halt in the upcoming week which is probably a relief to many of you.
