IM USING A HOOP NET I BOUGHT FROM TURNERS UP HERE IN NORTH COUNTY AND IT HAS THE POCKET IN THE BOTTEM OF IT. AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT THE THE BAIT IN THE POCKET OR TIE IT DOWN ON TOP OF THE POCKET? ALSO HOW LONG DO I LET IT SOKE? ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT KIND OF BOTTOM STRUCTURE DO I LOOK FOR HARD/SOFT ROCKIE ECT. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT IM HOOPIN AT NIGHT IN THE OSIDE HARBOR ON MY KAYAK AND IM WATCHING BOATERS BRING THEM IN BUT I JUST CANT GET THEM TO GO. ANY HELP/INFO WOULD BE GREAT.
