yak hoopin 03-01-09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I met up with a buddy of mine (Greg) and did a little hoopin outside SD.
Greg was already on the water when I arrived and we finished the night hoopin together.

It was an incredibly beautiful night out. There was absolutely no wind on the water all night. Good cigar lighting conditions. Pulled a ton of shorts that night and managed four keepers and a bunch of crabs. One good stoagie bit the dust.

The tide was moving out while we hooped and then went slack for the long paddle back. It sucks getting older. About half way back during the paddle I hit what felt like a wall. I felt like such a girl I was getting so fatigued. A five minute rest and I was back at it. I guess that is what happens when you don't get out for a month.

Good times hoopin with Greg and enjoying the night. Threw back a bunch of pasted females. Probably good that the season is coming to an end since the spawn is starting.

The pic is a typical pull. Lots of crabs and shorts. Many nets came up heavy with no keepers to show for it. The four I did manage came on pulls when there was only one or two in the hoop. I still can't figure these bugs out.

peace.

Good to see you out there again, Like you said lots of shorts for such a long night but all in all we good.
This was my take for the night, 3 Keepers Plus 2 Crabs
