Re: Hoopin
Hmmm, not really. If I knew where some good places to hoop for crabs was and a few good crab recipes, I may give it shot though. Do you hoop for crabs?

Re: Hoopin
When I was a kid I used to hoop for crabs off the Santa Monica Pier. Used to catch an occasional bug with a rod and reel, too. What's the question? Oh yeah

Re: Hoopin
No Perry
Actually I don't yet hoop at all, yet. Just got 3 Promars with a 25% off coupon from Sports authority, actually this week is a better sale (25% off fishing accessories plus $10 off $50 purchase coupon). Was looking to possibly do some joint ops, crabbing & bug RECON MikeG

Re: Hoopin
Growing up on the east coast (NJ) we went crabbin all the time for Blue claws as well as the elusive Maryland Softshell. Always had a great time selling em to the poor folks comin off the moo moos empty handed and drunk.

Re: Hoopin
Need another box on poll for those of us who would like to try kayak crabbing. I would much prefer taking my hoops out in the daylight and learning how to set and retrieve without working in the dark.
Where would you go? Steve

Re: Hoopin
I wonder if it would be worth droppin' a hoop on a sand flat with a float on the way out, fish a little and check back on the hoop?

Re: Hoopin
More likely drop along a break wall similar to where you would go for bugs. Need to get the rope lengths correct and the floats set up. Also, I have not checked regs in years - don't know season, limits nor size, nor gender.

Re: Hoopin
Regs are easy:
ALL CRABS (EXCEPT DUNGENESS) Season: there is none - ALL YEAR LONG Limits: 35 Legal Length: 4 inches measured by the shortest distance through the body, from the edge of the shell to the edge of the shell at the widest part.

Re: Hoopin
Where would I go ?
Good question Definitely the break wall Also would hit up the jetties out from Los Al and Huntington Harbor. In a few weeks I plan to start aggressively working these areas. (after th 18th )
