Thanks Aaron!
We used bonita and some old yellowfin tuna for bait and were in 20-40 feet of water. The best pull (4 lobsters) came in 20 feet right next to an isolated rock/lump with kelp on it. The wind blew us off it in the dark and I couldn't locate it a second time, but just fished the general area around it.
One thing I noticed is the bugs ate all the bonita parts with the exception of the heads.
Oh, the "new boat" quote may be a bit off. I've had it since June but this was the first attempt at hooping, but here are few pics:
