Hello everyone; We arrived to Clarion at 06:35, and the weather is just beautiful. Flat seas, clear skies, and all the sunshine you could want. It is almost to perfect. We started looking for schools off the island and we found our first school around 10:00 hours. The life off the island is just outstanding. Lots of birds, bait, and even a few turtles. We scratched away most of the day, with most of the fish in the 150 to 180 pound catogory. We had two fish over the two-hundred pound mark. Jack Gruschus caught his third 200 pound Yellowfin of the trip. Other noticeable anglers were Brandon Kreutel with a 189 pound Yellowfin tuna, John Sturdivant with a 186 pound Yellowfin tuna, and Kathy Rounds with a 202 pound Yellowfin tuna. Also Kathy would like to says thanks to Katie and Kristen for the wonderful cards. We are hoping for another good day tomorrow, so wish us luck. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hello everyone; Weather continues to be wonderful. Flat seas, clear skies, and sunny. Well Roy made the decision to make a move. We departed the bank around 12:00 hours. We just couldn't take it any more. With the Sharks being hungry, and the Yellowfin not cooperating, it was time to make the move. We are now headed to Clarion Island. We did catch a few Yellowfin, that we could get through the Sharks. Lucky angler today was Craig English of San Diego. Craig fished weighed in at 212 pounds. We should arrive around 06:00 hours, so wish us luck and we will keep you posted on our upcoming events. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hello everyone; Weather at Hurricane bank has improved. We had 10 to 12 knots of wind, with clear skies, and sunny. Our morning started out with a big surprise, the Yellowfin made a showing for us. The fish were in the 120 to 180 pound range. Once the tuna bite was off, the Wahoo didn't let us down. Wahoo continue to be the number one attraction at the bank. We will try for flying fish again tonight, and hope for a good showing of Yellowfin tomorrow morning. Our passengers are enjoying the great Wahoo fishing they are having, so with that note, we will report back tomorrow. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hello everyone; Weather today was the down swing. We had 12 to 15 knots most of the day, with clear skies, and sunny. The Yellowfin didn't make a showing once again, but the Wahoo made up for that. We had good Wahoo action once again, with most of the fish going in the 25 to 40 pound range. The anglers that put there time in, where rewarded. There's a new hot lure for Wahoo, it's called the Mouse-trap. Kathy Rounds is making the day view of the hot new Wahoo lure. Life on the bank is good, with lots of Flying fish and Squid at night, and during the day, you could see the smaller Flyer's practicing there flight techniques We hope tomorrow will bring a better showing for the Yellowfin, so wish us luck.

Hot bite on skin (042508)

Hello everyone; We arrived to Hurricane bank around 09:00 hours. We started trolling right away, and it didn't take long for us to get our first stop. We had good action on Wahoo in the 25 to 40 pound range. The bite would continue most of the day, until dark. This was a good start for the trip, with many anglers catching their daily limit. Weather today, was not so good. We would have 18 to 22 knots most of the day, and it didn't let up after dark. We would pull or anchor after dark, in search for flying fish. It didn't take long for us to fill a tank with flyer's. With a full tank of flying fish, we are hoping that the Yellowfin will bite tomorrow. Today the Yellowfin were nonexistence, with only a few small fish caught for chunks. So tomorrow is another day. So wish us luck. The R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hello everyone; Weather today was on the upswing, with 12 to 15 knots out of the northwest. Today semniar was on leaders. The crew went right to work getting everyone ready. With only 15 passengers, it didn't take the crew of the Royal polaris long. After lunch, some of the passegers watched a movie, while other just relaxed. We are still have a long way to go, so wish us luck. The R/p crew. "Bent Rod For Life"
