The Kayak Hooping Clinics are usually on a Saturday, unless you can get away on a weekday. The clinics start about an hour and a half before sunset. Clinics are by appointment only and are only held if 3 or more clients are scheduled

The clinic cost is $60.

I supply the hoop nets and rigging, bait, Lobster gauges, headlamp, and gloves. After a dockside clinic and before sunset we paddle out and discuss the areas that are legal to hoop in the harbor.

Just before dark we set our first nets in and around the harbor and we stay out for a few hours.

Here is a list of what you’ll need:

1. Kayak
2. Paddle
3. PFD
4. Whistle or horn or noise making device

(Rental kayaks complete with PFD, paddle, and seat are available )

5. Calif. Fishing License
6. Warm clothes i.e. Wetsuit and booties, cotton or
  fleece sweatshirt, windbreaker or paddling jacket
7. A change of warm clothes for after hooping
8. A snack and something to drink as we will be out
  until 9 or 10pm.
9. Try to eat something before we get out on the water,
  it really helps with all the exercise.
