Fish Report for 11-12-2010
Royal Star Fish Report
11-12-2010
Royal Star
A final day of reflection and relaxation complimented by near windless conditions and gentle rolling seas. It was an ideal day to tinker with equipment and tend to our chores while yarning among one another about fishing past and fishing to come. And therein the question lies. How will the big fish 2010 season shake out on the local banks?
Of course it is anyone's guess. But, based on conditions, and the present sign of fish, all indications point to plenty of opportunities to come. Prepare accordingly. A note to all anglers on upcoming voyages is to be ready for giants, they will be the prominent quarry if available. But also remember that these voyages will target variety, and school grade yellowfin as an alternative if and when necessary.
In closing our gratitude is extended to charter master Larry Fancher and this entire group of anglers who performed to the highest standard this voyage maintaining the positive environment from the first moment to the last. The final night gathering before dinner was vibrant with exuberance as we relived and reveled in our success. A standout moment was when Larry queried the group as to how many personal bests were achieved among them - twenty one out of twenty three. The second query was how many anglers landed their first two hundred pound tuna this voyage - sixteen out of twenty three. Not a bad statistic for a ten day that the majority of anglers were completely unexpecting of such results upon departure.
Needless to say we are pleased for the opportunity to share in the triumph. Such moments, such voyages are the apex of our fishing careers. This is what we live for. Now, to do it again. Capt. Toussaint takes command on the next eleven day adventure featuring the "Las Rocas" group that is ready and raring to go. These guys live for big fish. Let's hope the big fish are living for them as well. For certain my, and their full confidence is behind Capt. Toussaint whose credentials in the big fish arena are second to none.
Final photo's for this voyage feature the man of the hour Dave Povey again with his 261 coming over the rail. As one can determine by the photo everyone, crewman Blake Wasano, crewman Steve Gregonis, Capt. Brian Sims, and Dave were having a very good time. Victory is sweet. Also Royal Star angler John Cox does the honors in this brochure quality image with his 237 gleaming in the mid day sun. Best of luck to the boys on the next voyage. I'm out.
