Why ROFFS™ is BEST

As more and more so-called “fish finding” services, internet websites, and apps. become available, choosing ROFFS™ over others may be less of an obvious decision now. There are a number of so-called “services,” that offer anything from simple sea surface temperature, chlorophyll, altimeter contour maps to very pretty color satellite images including ocean models. However, ROFFS™ is still the BEST because we: 1) provide a comprehensive fishing analysis that is designed for fishing; 2) integrate all the important ocean conditions (satellite and non-satellite); 3) evaluate how these conditions are related to locating feeding concentrations of fish based on decades of research, fishing experience, and success; 4) have an extensive fishing information network; 5) send the information in an easy to use format; and 6) provide the most value for your money and time.

THE BOTTOM LINE – VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY

VALUE: ROFFS™ provides an inexpensive fishing forecasting analysis considering the quality of the product. Our clients tell us that they find fish most of the time (85%) at our suggested “hot spot” locations, particularly those “spots” that have existed the longest. Clients often find fish on the way to our “hot spots”. When you consider the costs (fuel, time, and investment) involved in searching for fish, the price of our analysis is well worth the savings in fuel and time alone. ROFFS™ takes every step to make every fishing day a success as we know that every fishing trip is important. Why limit yourself to dock or radio rumors, static sea temperature or chlorophyll based plankton or water clarity maps, colorized images or models and images, or “super-secret” fishing reports, when we provide expertise, professional experience and service? By the time you read about it on the fish blogs, chat rooms, other social media, it is history. ROFFS™ is the only service that forecasts where the fish will be concentrated when you are fishing. We are focused on finding fish and providing quality service.

Bluefin tuna auctioned in Tokyo for record $736,000

This tuna is worth savoring: It cost nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.

A bluefin tuna caught off northeastern Japan fetched a record 56.49 million yen, or about $736,000, Thursday in the first auction of the year at Tokyo’s Tsukiji fish market. The price for the 593-pound (269-kilogram) tunabeat last year’s record of 32.49 million yen.

The price translates to 210,000 yen per kilogram, or $1,238 per pound — also a record, said Yutaka Hasegawa, a Tsukiji market official.

Though the fish is undoubtedly high quality, the price has more to do with the celebratory atmosphere that surrounds the first auction of the year.

The winning bidder, Kiyoshi Kimura, president of Kiyomura Co., which operates the Sushi-Zanmai restaurant chain, said he wanted to give Japan a boost after last March’s devastating tsunami.

“Japan has been through a lot the last year due to the disaster,” a beaming Kimura told AP Television News. “Japan needs to hang in there. So I tried hard myself and ended up buying the most expensive one.”
