http://www.royalpolaris.comLONG HOT DAY
Roy roused the troops around 1:30 this morning to come out and make some bait. As you would guess, we were all bright eyed and eager to get out of our comfy bunks and do our part. The good news is they came over hot, heavy, and quick. The bad news is virtually no tuna were interested in our offerings. We did get treated to many shows of boiling fish near the boat, but almost anything with a hook and line attached to it was ignored. When we hung it up for the day we had almost nothing to show for our hard efforts. It comes down to one simple fact, sometimes no matter how hard you try, fish just don’t want to bite. We can only hope it was a temporary one day fast and we’ll get back down to business tomorrow. Until today, the weather has been warm, but that changed. Flat out hot and calm is the only way to describe it. I wish I had better news to report but I just can’t sugar coat today’s action. Of one thing you can be sure, it wasn’t for lack of trying as everyone has been giving 100% every day at the rail and will no doubt do so again tomorrow.
POEM OF THE DAY
It wasn’t like in the story
The truth is far more gory
The shark ate his fill
But look hard and still,
You may find a few scraps of Dory.

About the only thing I can comment on is the weather and that can be summed up in one word….. perfect! All the elements you ask for, sunny, warm, flat calm, etc. were in full force. The day was spent watching movies, telling stories and conjecturing about the fishing to come. Heavy napping was......

It was another beautiful, hot, sunny day with more tuna coming aboard up to 160 pounds. A few more wahoo also came around and decided to stay for the ride home. Fishing starts daily here around 3 AM and doesn’t stop until the sun goes down. It makes for long and tiring days, but you’ll hear no complaints as we are all doing what we love. The food continues to be plentiful, imaginative, and delectable, with Tom and......
