Capt. Sims’ and crew departed on schedule amidst a flurry of activity and preparation. It is difficult to believe that one or two hours on a voyage of ten days or longer can make a difference. I assure everyone it can, especially on day one. So that organizational triumph of turning the boat around in rapid order can, and does, make a difference. Plus, we enjoy the challenge. Every turn around is a form of “team building” for our crew. The faster we get the boat in proper order, the better it reflects on our experience and ability. And, anglers are more than ready to get on board and go after being tantalized by the sight of the prior trip unloading. Everyone – anglers, Captain and crew, and even Royal Star herself are like a race horse in the starting gates on departure days. When it is time to go there’s nothing to be gained by loafing around.

So the group set forth loaded and ready by 10:45 steaming south for an immediate destination unknown. Plenty of variables, information pouring in over the wire, and gut instinct will direct Captain Sims’ initial move that will open the ball and set the tone for the voyage; or not. Regardless look for Brian’s reports to commence tomorrow as the fishing portion of the voyage is set to begin. Have a great week!

With beautiful weather all the way down we enjoyed a nice ride to the first of our fishing destinations. We got off to a good start with steady action on a variety of species. Bluefin tuna, Yellowfin tuna, Dorado and Yellowtail all found their way over the rail and into the RSW tank. We will be close to the same area in the morning.

We enjoyed another day of good action on 15 - 22 # Yellowtail with a few 22 - 26 # Bluefin mixed in. School size Yellowfin and a smattering of Dorado rounded out our catch today. After two days of catching and good numbers of fish on board, our anglers are in that great place where they can marvel at the sheer amount of life around the boat. Blue whales, green sea turtles and marlin feeding near the boat add to the experience that is long range fishing.

Rhanny Hufalar is all smiles with his 25# Bluefin Tuna.
