Hello Anglers, The ride up the line so far has been perfect. The charter masters have asked if they could write the update today: Some thoughts from Team Hoo charter masters Ken Bell and Mark Dorton. We are just finishing up a very successful "Team Hoo's Cow Hunt" inaugural trip. Our original November Team Hoo trips over the past 10 years have been a great success with about a 90% passenger return rate. We are looking forward to equal popularity with our new cow hunt trips. Starting last November, we are featuring Avet Reels on our trips and plan to do so going forward. We also want to thank Jerry Brown and Catchy Tackle for their kind donations and support. Our biggest supporter over the past 10 years has been Eric Huff of Eric's Tackle Shop in Ventura. Without his advice, help, and support we would not be able to put together the type of trips we are known for. Also, a big "Bravo" to the Excel, the crew, and the galley. Once again they did an outstanding job.
