Planning on pulling out the best bait I have and hooping some spots I have had luck before.
Last week it took me 15-20 sets of 5 nets to get limit, so many I lost count....
Anyone use sports chalet waders? Planning on grabbing a pair before I head out, never wore waders before but if was effin cold last Wednesday night, soaking wet 45 degrees plus wind chill was no fun, stupid low pressure front that came thew last week.

I doubt your trip was that bad compared to mine.

The bait was from this guy

It was a pleaser getting out on the water with you guys. Hooping was slow but I beat my skunk abd ended the night with one good bug big enough to feed me and my wife and get some good lobster stock from the scrapsthat made some killer bisque

How's those sports chalet waders? I was thinking of picking up a pair since they are priced reasonably.

I bought a pair and they worked great for the first year. Then the booties started leaking. It got worse and the booties started falling apart. I just cut off the booties and changed my waders into splash pants so now I need to go buy separate booties or boots. I think I will like the splash pant more now that I have cut off the dysfunctional booties.
