Hello Anglers, We started off strong here on the lower banks, with good fishing on mixed grade tuna and excellent fishing on dorado. The morning started out with a hit on big tuna from 140-185 pounds. Around 0730 though, they seemed to lose interest and it was impossible to hook one. After looking around for a while, the Royal Polaris called us in on a kelp that had an unbelievable amount of dorado. After crossing off Mahi from our list, we were drifting along and cleaning the boat when a nice school of 60-110 pound tuna rushed the boat and started eating everything in the water. At this time we only had about an hour of daylight left but the guys made good use of it sticking with the heavy gear. They bit right up until dark but man I wish we had just one more hour! As of 1000 this morning we have seven fish over 125 pounds on board with a couple of real heartbreaks. Bill Cashman unbuttoned one well over 300 pounds just a few feet from the boat. Steve Ruiter and Tim Cutt both landed a cow this morning taping out around the 220 pound mark. I think for today we are just going to be patient and sit here as long as we have fish around the boat. On a side note, Ken Bell would like to thank Eric's Tackle in Ventura for his generosity with the give aways. Team Hoo gave away eight Avet Reels this year. Thanks guys... JUSTIN

Hello Anglers, We spent the day heading south with sunny skies and flat calm seas. I wish the weather was always like this. In the morning, we had our first seminar on how to rig up for cow sized tuna. In the afternoon, we went over the proper way to use a harness and how to successfully crimp a leader. The gang has been hanging out and enjoying the ride. JUSTIN ...... Read More

Hello Anglers! We departed on our annual Team Hoo 10 day trip today with a lot of familiar faces. The bait looks good here as we clear Point Loma on our way south in search of big tuna. The weather forecast looks good for a while so hopefully we can get on some cows. Wish us luck... JUSTIN...... Read More
