1. What kind of hoop nets do u recommend?

Ambush Nets

2. How many should I get? (Probably b hauling by hand this season).

I would start with two and play with them for a bit. There is a very good chance you wil find yourself tweaking a few things until you're comfortable with them. What you want to look for is easy setup and easy transport. The last thing you want to do is find yourself trying to get things setup while you're on the water.

3. Where's the best place to buy the? (i live in encinitas so someplace in north county is preferred).

Where to buy the bait? Any Asian market will have bait. Some guys prefer to make bait but I always buy it. I usually spend between $5-$7 dollars and that will be enough bait for 4-5 bait cages. Some guys stuff their cages with bait, I just stick a few pieces in there and call it a day.


4. When is the best time to go and bait to use?

Whenever you're available. I don't follow tides or moon phases, I just go when I'm available.

Any other tips, techniques, or things to avoid?

Safety First, Safet First and Safety First.


Thx!!
