Sea lion problems - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PB fisher · 11-19-2009, 07:28 PM

Went hooping last night in SD Bay and had some major problems with sea lions breaking the metal bait age open and stealing bait. I use the square metal bait cages any zip tie them to the bottom of the hoop net. The sea lions actually bent and broke the bait cage on several nets. Started with 5 working nets and at the end of the night I was left with only 2 bait cages intact. 2 broken bait cages that were completely mangled and one was lost.
Any ideas on solutions???
Thanks.

Look for some new locations. Many times those damn sea lions learn a spot and always check it out. Explore a little or shoot them.

Just kidding on the shooting part.

You need to invite these people with you when you go hooping:
