Sea of Fish

A sea of fish greeted us when we arrived on scene mid-morning. Then miles of fertile ground were plowed as we sifted through the skip jack in pursuit of wahoo and yellowfin tuna. Plenty of effort and patience ultimately produced the results we were looking for. What speaks loudest here is certainly the quality of the yellowfin tuna. 28 - 35 pounds was the average with many standouts in the 38 - 48 pound range. A few smaller and the previously mentioned horde of skipjack kept every angler at the rail busy from the time we kicked the anchor over the side mid day through the evening shutdown.

A solid beginning to the fishing portion of this run we’re now looking to build upon today’s good fortune with more of this beautiful yellowfin tuna before considering other options. In good enough weather we are ideally positioned to make it happen.

Photo today features master angler and long time Royal Star friend Tim Marshall who put on a tuna catching clinic racking up an impressive tally on these beautiful grade yellowfin tuna.

Great angling on the ridge in balmy flat calm weather to get the trip off to a fine start. Steady action all day on 20 to 40 lb yellowfin with a couple shots at the wahoo that produced 15 of the speedsters. Spending the night hoping for a repeat tomorrow. Paul Johnson is in today’s shot with a 40lb class skin.

Today we started out with some 18-25 # yellowtail. They came up chasing boats around the boat and were caught in both bait and jigs. It looked very good for a little bit, then shut off completely. We worked up the beach finding just a little bit of rockfish for the frying pan until dark. We will be in at 07:00 tomorrow.

We Departed Friday night with a great load of bait and a fantastic group of excited anglers. We fished a full day on Saturday , with something to see or stop on all day. We saw breezers , shiners, chippers and boilers, and only managed to hook a handful of fish. Our Weather was spectacular, making for a fun trip aboard Royal Star.

Pictured today is jackpot winner Richard Yoon, his son Marcus and their 88 # Bluefin.

Fresh from the bridge of our colleague working up the line this morning. “Five going” at 6:06 am. Today’s photo of his Fathometer with a booming school of 25 pound class bluefin clearly up shallow in a biting posture is yet another indicator that things are on the upswing offshore. Give Tracy, Brian, or I a call about this upcoming 1 1/2 day departing Friday if you can make it; or book online. Beautiful weather is in the forecast and we are all ready to take full advantage!

We had a day today where it felt like we were in the right place all day. We had a kelp for 18 yellowtail to get the day started. We then followed it up with a 45 minute action filled stop on school size Bluefin. Our weather improved today. We will be at the dock at 07:00 tomorrow.

Our photo is of Norm Evans with his 33 pound bluefin.

We started the day looking for better grade yellowtail. We found good conditions , but very little fish to work with. We did manage to open the hatch and add a couple to the RSW tank. We headed outside for the afternoon following a warm water edge that was holding promising life signs. We saw one good dab of Bluefin in the late afternoon, but they were reluctant to play. We will be working hard to find some biters tomorrow.

We headed out for three days on the Las Rocas charter today. We have a great load of bait and weather that is a bit breezy. We got into an area with some life in the late afternoon, and put a few yellowtail onboard. So far the bluefin have been elusive. Tomorrow’s weather is not quite ideal, so we will work where we will minimize the effects.
