: I was wondering what you guys mean when you say hooping? Do you throw rings out of a kayak for crabs and lobsters? sorry if the question is stupid but i am a real newbie. thanks for such a great website.

It's sometimes referred to hooping because of the "hoop nets" we use to catch them with. There are usually 2 hoops or rings that the netting is attached to. They sorta resemble those collapsible hanging fruit baskets. We can't use traps but we can use up to 5 hoop nets per person (10 max per boat). You bait the hoop net and lower it down. Every so often, you pull the nets up to see if you got lucky.
