"The night was a bit bumpy and windy, when I awoke we were heading north near a deserted Mexican Island," recollected the report from Royal Polaris August 18. The weather was beautiful, blue sky and gorgeous clear blue water. Me and about 30 of my best pals were fishing aboard a big awesome yacht-like sportfishing boat named the Royal Polaris. We spent the day drift-fishing close to the beach, it was relaxing and fun. We cast lures from the bow and caught some really nice Calico Bass, a few big Yellowtail were landed too. The Captain told us to try dropping to the bottom for halibut and we ended up catching fifteen 5 to 15-pounders, Cliff Clark boated a 26-pound whopper, Scott Ross snagged a jumbo 25 and Lee McKercher snared a dandy 20 pounder."
