did not want to thread jack
 

so i am running a separate post . i was thinking of trying hooping this year but have no experience . anyone have any pointers or suggestions ? like net placement , or places to try .

I hear the hoopn is really good at county line....good luck with that!:eek:

one thing for sure
 

this fishing is dead .

COSTCO.

Way easier, quicker, tastier, and cheaper.

did that once
 

spent around 200 biguns on a box . that was last year , this year i am eating cup of noodles . :eek:

I sent you a text a few days ago T. Don't know if you got it. Im down to go hooping this year

thx for invite
 

i did get it . i will keep in touch . how many nets can you have ? 5 ? as above stated in previous post by matt . is this worth getting into ?

Find a Jim Salazar/Saba Slayer seminar. Will cut the learning curve waaaay down

I was planning on doing some hoops this year too. It would be my first time.

Planning on picking up 2-3 setups this year.....

This is my 2nd year hooping learned alot last year. My hooping buddy w I ll be deployed this year so ill be looking gor people to go out with. I have a hot tip on a great spot that I will be trying on the 28th.

Hi hooping buddy i'm kevin :D Did you say something about hot tip?

Advice, Play the odds ...

Use 5 nets or none at all.


As a poker player, odds are very important, same in lobstering ........

5 is the max
 

??

5 per card, 10 max on a vessel

I did say hot tip and ive seen for myself. Pretty good size bugs in big numbers. I hope they are still there at the start.

I found a new spot... 99 Ranch Market.

i call bullshit on this one :D

like i said
 

i did that once when i was working alot and could afford it . box of bugs was around 165 -175 + . well worth it but not cheap . whats the going rate ? 15 - 20 a pound at the least? they way i see it , all you need is one big score for it to pay out .

Hopefully Jim (Sabaslayer) will chime in soon, but do your self a MASSIVE favor! Go to one of Jim's seminars and even try a copy of his book!

Cut my learning curve WAAAAAAY DOWN!

Also try reading some of Drakes post from last year for some great reading and his " Drake Pucks" are the BOMB!!!!

I have to say I am a total bug addict and am almost salivating waiting for the season!!!!
