We departed yesterday on our annual Team Hoo Cow Hunt. We put on a full load of bait and cleared the point by 10:30. We're heading south in flat calm weather. We'll have a full tackle seminar this morning, and spend the rest of the day rigging up our gear. JUSTIN
Today is our last day of travel before we start fishing in the early AM tomorrow. The guys are using this time to go through their gear one last time to make sure everything is in perfect condition. Weather forecast looks good for the next couple of days, so that should help us out locating fish that want to bite. Wish us luck. JUSTIN
Wahoo had taken over!
[ added January 11, 2011 ]
Hello Anglers,
Hello Anglers, We arrived yesterday morning with everyone having high hopes for big schools of biting tuna but quickly found out that the wahoo had taken over. The anglers enjoyed action all day on mixed grade skin from 20-50 pounds. As usual, the first couple of stops were like a fire drill with everyone running around the boat trying to stay in front of their fish. After everyone settled down, including myself, we managed to put on about 130 or so for our efforts; boy did we go through a lot of tackle. We did pick up a few nice sized tuna up to 150 pounds but didn't see too many of those around. For the next couple of days we are going to put the wahoo on the back burner and turn our attention toward the tuna. We will keep you updated... JUSTIN P.S. Team Hoo would like to thank Avet Reels and Eric's Tackle for their help to provide some amazing give aways once again.
We had pretty good bite on tuna this afternoon on mixed grade fish from 90-140 pounds. There was one GIGANTE hooked in the middle of the bite but after emptying out a 50w and our back up reel, he broke off. For now it seems like we are in the right place and time is on our side with five more days of fishing down here. Hopefully we can use our time wisely and put a nice catch together. Wish us luck..... JUSTIN
Tedd Prager & The Big Boys Rule!

Hello Anglers,
Another nice day for us here on the "Big X" where we picked away at good grade tuna throughout the day. The bites seemed to come in waves for us today. We would hook a handful of fish all at the same time, then nothing for a while, next thing you know you hook a few more, all at the same time. Big fish honors goes to Tedd Prager of Seaford New York with his personal best at 284 pounds. That fish was hooked on a mackerel at daylight. We did hook one more giant but after a long battle, he got away. Here are some pictures from our day. JUSTIN

The past two days have brought us steady action on quality tuna down here in the lower zone. Although we are catching plenty of fish, luck just has not been on our side for the real big ones. It seemed like every time we hooked a heavy fish, bad luck would follow with pulled hooks and chew offs. But today, things are going our way. We had a good old fashion gray bite that started very early in the a.m. Even though we still lost a couple of dandies, we did manage to boat five over 200 and one over 300 pounds so far this morning and we are still pulling on a couple. So far about twenty fish total have hit the deck and hopefully they keep biting. Here are a list of the lucky anglers for today. Mark Dorton with a 200 and a 228, Kevin Fitler with a 201, Greg Winfree 243, Eric Woyce with a 250, and Dan Jefferis with a 303. Good job you guys. JUSTIN

Greg Winfrees' second cow!
[ added January 17, 2011 ]
Hello Anglers,
Yesterdays bite didn't last forever but we did pick up a few more including Greg Winfrees' second cow at 316 pounds. So far for today, things look slow so we decided to start working our way up the line to get a little fishing time to break up the ride. The weather is as flat as it gets.
Perfect ride home
[ added January 20, 2011 ]
Hello Anglers,
So far we have had a perfect ride home with light winds and calm seas. We did make a couple of stops along the way where we found full speed action on 14-20 pound yellowtail tight to the beach. The whole group is in good spirits and having a great time. Our eta to San Diego will be around 0700 tomorrow morning. Here are some picture from yesterday. JUSTIN
