Rodney Marquez of BDOutdoors shares tips on how to hoop net for California spiny lobster, including regulations, techniques and the gear required to succeed. Rodney explains 3 categories; rules and regulations, how to measure lobster, and the preferred gear for catching lobster.
“The first thing you need to do is get the proper licenses in order to go hoop netting for lobster,” said Rodney. “Then you have to learn how to measure them properly to determine if the lobsters are of legal size to keep. Then you need to have the hoop nets and related gear in order to catch them. It takes a little set up, but it is well worth it to catch your own lobster dinner!”
Rodney was using a rigid Promar lobster hoop net that is available at your local tackle shop. He also describes the bait options and equipment associated with the hoop net. The buoy and light combo and bait container are integral parts to the set up. “Don’t forget, there are required numbers that go on your floats, so make sure you’re legal,” says Rodney.
