I don't usually don't post hoop info online but thought I'd share this.

Lots of my friends have recently been complaining that it's slowed down some and last night it was ridiculously slow for most of the night

I usually like to hoop late because I've caught my biggest bugs after Midnight, but at 2:00am I'd not had one bug or even crab in the nets and I was ready to call it quits. I decided to pull my nets but the first one came up with my first short. I'm like Hmmmmmmmm..... OK I'll leave them out for one more set. The last net of the same set I got another short, the next net the one with the first short now came up with three shorts. I'm like: Alright I may be taking a legal home yet. The last net this time came up with a legal, next run of the set come up with two legals and half a dozen shorts, Next set two more legals and the next another two so I limited.

The last pass when I was pulling the nets up and storing them produced an assortment of shorts and three legals two of which were the biggest bugs I saw all night. Those were all released but the numbers are between 2:30am and 5:00am were ten legals 3 released and maybe 20 or so shorts.

I've hooped a lot and seen a lot of patterns. I've seen nights were it was wide open all evening, where I stayed till sunrise catching bugs just to see if I could get a huge one. I've seen other nights where it turned on at around 11:00 pm and then was wide open the rest of the night. That said I don't think I've ever had a night where it was so dead then turned on so late. I'm not knocking it, it's just unusual.

So consider this a heads up. If it's slow during your regular times this week you might try later then usual. Don't ask me why, but that was the pattern last night.

Good luck out there, Jim
