Maybe that's why I don't have that issue. I'm 5'11" and weigh 230lbs

I've only been hoopin a few times, but have found out just how much of a workout it is. And being a Diabetic, I've always got my sugar levels on my mind. Better for my levels to be a little high than risk going low.

What has worked for me for hoopin is to eat my late dinner after dropping the last net. There's enough proteins and carbs in a good Fish & Shrimp burrito to get me through. I also take along stashed away a number of crackers, i.e. "Club & Cheddar Sandwich Crackers". Just enough sugar and carbs to keep my sugars up. A banana is also good for potassium to keep your muscles going.

If you eat, you won't need anything but water. But if your skipping a meal over that long (overnight hooping), you'll need something to give you the goods to keep going.

Remember one more thing I pay attention to (the diabetic side of me)
~ Carbs turn into sugar (power) over a long period of time
~ Sugar is an immediate hit to your system

I hate hoopin but I used to night fish SD Bay for corvina off the kayak and during the grunion runs. I never bonked but I definately tired out when it got way past my bed time. One thing that helped me was to eat something like a second dinner before I hit the water. Nothing too heavy, maybe a burrito or a PB&J. I stayed away from the caffene becasue I wanted to be able to fall asleep when I got home. Mike
