My first blonde 10/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Cabo John has me sold on hooping from the Mini X

Had my secret OC spot all to my self tonight

MJ wasn't kidding ........1 yellow for every 100 reds was about right for tonight.

This pull had me all excited, only to be disgusted and dump em all and move my hoop down 20 yards

I got the barely legal bug on the first set, then one awhile later that was worth measuring, but 4 flicks of its tail and it went over the side. Got one more easy keeper......then crabs up the wazoo, spiders and reds, only kept the one yellow to try. 15 feet of water, right along the rocks.

Hi Iceman,
Last year we pulled in 3 or 4 legal stone/rock crabs that were different in color. Apparently we don't know the differences between what's yellow, red, rock or stone. Any insight or links to clear this up?
If you didn't mind the work (we didn't), the ones we kept were all very tasty in the claws, and any other meat we found.
Thanks,
A&J

It works good! Congrats.
Oh yeah, I have a buddy who tried my mini X...he's getting one just for hoopin.

A&J this is a great link for crab info, from what I have been told, the yellows are the prized sweet meat.
