Hoopin' 10-16-10 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

T Bone · 10-17-2010, 09:27 AM

Went out last night with my Wingman Brent.Bugs were on the crawl early due to gloomy skies I think.maybe they were out all day.As usual I was pulling up lots of shorts but managed 2 keepers early with one being a good 3/8" over.Brent(new to the sport)hung a net up and while trying to pull it free was hit by the swell and flipped FAST.Luckily the only thing on deck was his pride.The night went on and I got another keeper with brent getting one right at 3 1/4 (tight fit) and eventually one just over.I ended up finding salmon heads for 1.29 a pound already split and packaged or .99 whole.Ranch 99 wanted 3.99 a pound for salmon heads!?!

Anyways for me 40 shorts for 3 keepers...

Wow 40 shorts !!!With all the shorts that are being reported we still have a future for lobsters.At least you got a couple legals to make your efforts worth while. Congrats to you !!!

The other day ranch 99 was selling salmon heads for 2.69 a pound and "small" WHOLE salmon for 2.49 a pound. WTF?

Can you share --- where did you get the cheap frozen split salmon heads?

I spent $23 on bait the other day ....

T Bone · 10-18-2010, 06:53 PM

A korean market in Alta Loma is where I got the salmon heads.They have whole heads for .99 a pound all day every day.

We are constantly fooling ourselves into thinking that we are getting cheap lobster.With all the time and energy they are well earned...

+1 on that. Cerritos/south bay korean markets have heads for as low as 29 cent a pound I've seen.
Experiment w/ bait tho. I've never seen a magic bullet bait.
At the opener I got 4 big bugs and I didn't even use fish as bait.
50+ nets around me and no one reported more than 2 bugs.
I think hooping is mostly luck.

Thats why I skin dive for them. No gassing up the boat, no bait, no time cleaning the boat. It's a LOT easier, cheaper, and faster...
