hooping safety - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I know for me safety is one of my most important concerns when kayaking, especially at night. I hooped in my boat last night with my dad and sister and had a close call with a kayaker who was hooping in the channel of SD bay. We were heading back in around 12 and saw an umarked and unlight bouy in the channel then suddenly a guy on a PA pops out of nowhere when were doing about 15knots. Missed him by about 30 ft. Turned around to make sure he turned out ok. He had no lights at all, only a small glowstick attched to the back of his seat which was only visible at certain directions. Chatted with him for a min and headed in. Dont know if it was someone from here but be careful and smart. Oh ya and we got some sweet meat only with 5 nets too.
