Out of the gates again and pushing south we seek to continue the trend of late that has seen significant successes in both the catching of fish and satisfaction of our anglers. If there has ever been a better example of our distinct brand I can't remember it. Throughout the past few months the benefits of experience and dedication to our fishery have been to the extreme obvious advantage of Royal Star anglers. Of course this has been our trademark since beginning in 1996, but of late it has been one of those unique, easily identifiable junctures when we are really firing on all cylinders.

And it is the whole package I reference. Between our veteran Captain's and crewmen producing fishing opportunities from sound strategies and application of experience, the quality of our angler's end product that is the result of incredible dedication and effort, and our unyielding attention to progress and detail in customer service we deliver on merit - no smoke and mirrors, no charlatans, no illusory machinations. We are real, and glad of it; actually more grateful than glad - dedication and effort does pay; far, far more than treasures gold.

So, with our incredible good fortune illuminated again by recent circumstance we forge ahead on our annual Bart Ryder/Accurate voyage sadly deficit the man himself Bart Ryder. But Mr. Ryder will certainly accompany us in spirit as we ply the southern banks in search of new found glory. With the real fish killer Captain Toussaint and I joining forces we are well heeled for any and everything to come. Time will tell of course, but between this seriously talented group of veteran anglers, and our crew itching to resume the real working portion of their job description, nothing other than an ocean void of fish will thwart our effort. Daily reports and photos will follow.
