Anyone interested in going hooping in Long Beach harbor?
It's about a 3 mile paddle from the launch ramp to where i've got gps coord's...
I do have a trolling motor to help out though... Always willing to help/tow

winter hoopin' can be slower w/ bigger swells, gusty winds, and a lot colder. But if you time it right w/ dark moon & murky waters it can be worth it. No crowds, great sunsets, starlit sky (w/ shooting stars), cold beer and cigar make for an enjoyable trip. PS; I got over 50 shorts and 5 legals last week.

Did you take your kayak or another boat? If you don't mind me asking?

That's really far to go especially at night....Long beach would be killer if we could just go faster...

With the trolling motor it should only take 30-45 mins to motor out there...

44lb thrust motor... group 48 battery, not going to run that thing down in 1 night...
