Dennis,
I launched 4:00 pm and went straight out past the yellow buoy and caught some bait. I could have stayed out longer before going to the area I dropped the nets, but if it's the first time you are going hooping it's a good idea to scope the area out-get the feel of where the reefs and kelp are-pick a spot and toss the hoops over then go catch some calico's in the area as the sun goes down. Check the nets and if you catch alot ,stay in that spot. After the sun goes down stay close the spot you want and using glow sticks is not necessary, but will help. Bring a back-up light even if it's a cheap flashlight.
Whatever I had in the hoop I noticed this morning had torn some of the netting in the bottom of my hoop- :shock: probably an eel.
A heard today a good idea is to use a PVC pipe with holes in it-cap the end.
See you out there--
Dave
