i never had shark. I imagine it would be pretty good.

If i run out of fourchon or grand isle, LA its a far run. I can run out of Venice, LA which is mostly running in the Mississippi River and you are in blue water shortly after you are out of the pass.

150 ft will get you hoo, start at the ledge about 30 miles out, if you get in deep, they are hard to find. Biggest hoo I've seen came from 80 ft of water

Not quite as rare off of the NC coast. This is my one and only caught off Hatteras in 2007. Not a slobberknocker but he sure did eat good!

Alright, well I think I got yall beat. We gotta run a minimum of 65mi, 70mi to the good stuff, to get in Wahoo country. My biggest, 55lbs, came from Navy Tower R4 which is about 62mi from here in 145'. Its not uncommon in Jax and St Augustine for them to catch em up to 120lbs, they get several every year this size........I wish the guys south of me would ease back on the "interceptions".......

I'd say 45-50 nm...best to go on out to the stream and have a better chance at a hoo in an eddy if one's out there...


NICE Hoo, Blue!!...yeah those barrier islands swing on out into the deep quicker than Chucktown do...
