Hi folks; Weather today at Alijos continues to be quite nice with just a little more breeze. We fished at Alijos until 11:00 hours and although the fishing was not as good as yesterday we scratched 65 Yellowtail and 16 Yellowfin tuna. We are now headed north in search of both Albacore and Bluefin tuna. Our traveling is quite comfortable and just before dinner our Shimano representative's raffled off many nice prizes. Hopefully we will have a good report for you tomorrow. The Royal Polaris crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hi folks; The weather continues to be quite beautiful. It is sunny and there is a breeze of 6 to 10 knots. Water temperature is 66.6 degrees. Our fishing today was quite outstanding. We had limits of Yellowtail with several 35 to 45 pound fish and one outstanding Yellow around 55 plus pounds, caught by James Oshiro. We also had 63 Yellowfin tuna today in the 35 to 55 pound category, plus 1 large Grouper. We are planning to fish here till about 09:30 hours tomorrow and then start heading north in search of some Albacore and Bluefin tuna. Enjoy the photos. Crew of the Royal Polaris. P.S. Eric wishes his dad a Happy Birthday. "Bent Rod For Life"

He everyone; We arrived at Alijos at 08:00 hours and finally got the anchor down and situated at about 08:45 hours. It was scratch fishing throughout the day and we caught 125 Yellowtail, 19 Yellowfin tuna, and 2 nice Grouper. The Yellowtail were nice grade and the Yellowfin were in the 30 to 50 pound range. Enjoy the photos and we are hoping for better Yellowfin tuna fishing tomorrow. Wish us luck, the R/p crew. "Bent Rods For Life"

Hi folks; We continue to travel toward Alijos, with absolutely beautiful weather. Today we had an excellent seminar, did tackle preparation, and had a knot and connections seminar on the upper deck done by John Collins. After lunch Frank and Aaron helped those who needed assistance with some casting lessons. Before dinner Robbie Gant of Shimano gave a seminar on Butterfly jigging and offered some of his jigs and equipment to those who wanted to try it. We should arrive at Alijos rocks at about 08:00 hours. Wish us luck and we will report tomorrow. Frank "Bent Rods For Life"

On The Road Again (060909)

Hi everyone; We departed today at 09:05 hours on our Shimano sponsored 7 day trip. I must say that for the crew and myself it is wonderful to be freed from the 12+ hours days of doing maintenance. We did get most of our work done and the boat looks great and appears to be running beautifully. We picked up an excellent load of bait and cleared Point Loma at 11:15 hours, headed for Alijos rocks. The Shimano reps passed out hats to all today and raffled off a Trinidad 16 with a butterfly jigging rod. The lucky number was 13, held by John Ma. Shimano has supplied the Royal Polaris with a large number of Tyrnos 30's, Trinidad 30's, and Trinidad 40's complete with rods. Our passengers will have the opportunity to borrow these reels and field test them before making a decision as to weather or which they wish to purchase. There will also be daily prizes awarded each day thru the trip. Some of you might want to note that the Royal Polaris has 2 three day trips, leaving June 26th and July1st at $695.00 each. With the Royal Star catching 34 Albacore in the few hours today it seems likely that the 3 day trips in late June and early July will provide some excellent Albacore fishing. Call our office at (619) 226-8030 for information or reservations. We will be reporting daily. Crew of the R/p "Bent Rods For Life"

Nearing end of maintenance

Friday June 5th Hi folks! We are finally nearing the end of maintenance and the entire crew is looking forward to being able to go fishing. It seems that we have finished most of our projects, completed other ones we did not expect and naturally found a few that we will have to put off until next year. We did notice that many of the deck windows to the staterooms below were leaking some water so we have replaced all those windows and removed wallpaper where needed in the staterooms. We also replaced many bunk cushions, installed new carpeting and upholstery down below and in the galley. Big D has done a great job with the varnish work and he seems to get better at it each year! If any of you are looking for a quick get away, we have 2 3-day trips that have plenty of room. June 26 – 29 and July 1 – 4. There is also a 1 ½ day trip leaving June 29thwith some open spots! With this year’s maintenance behind us and our first departing June 9th on the Shimano 7 day trip, we will begin reporting on a regular basis. The owners, crewmembers and office staff of Royal Polaris hope to see you onboard in 2009! Friday June 5th Hi folks!
