noob... oside harbor

We launched from the beach inside the harbor on base and paddled out into the oside harbor, there was a boat with a bunch of kids on it partying playing music really loud. We were hoopnetting and decied not to take out any poles. We hoopnetted for about 4 hours or so and didnt catch anyhting but a bunch of kelp and small crabs. It is my 2nd time hoopnetting the oside harbor and the first time we got 5 legals in 2 hours last night nothing. The water was completely glass even paddled out past the breakwater and it looked like glass out it was a beautifull night, Well after the partying kids left. There was bait all over and jumping all around us wish I would have brought a rod and reel....always next time
