Got stopped by Naval Security last night...

and they told us there was an unclaimed lobster net near one of their security zones and it was ours for the taking. They escorted us back and we pick this up attached to a pretty new looking hoop net. The glow stick is one of them fancy electronic flashing ones. Thanks guys!!

Heard some guy on the radio get kicked out of the restricted area near ballast point and the bait receiver. Maybe it's his?

I'm always amazed at the different ways people make up there hoop nets. Score! oooh and a brass clip to boot!

That is a negative on bugs, if there had been any we would have hooked the Navy guys up

The rope winder-up gizmo appears to be good invention for using a long rope in different depths of water. Made one up with 3/4" PVC from my irrigation parts bucket yesterday. Put a 100' of 1/4" braided rope on it and will try it out tonite. Thanks for the pic.

Ive bought a few of the ones at Walmart and they work great but i wasn't able to find them for this season, word got out. Ive been seeing a new led/flashing light in DP stuck to the tops of buoys. They are blue or green , put out a lot of light and they look like a glass tube with multiple filaments in them, any ideas on what they are?

regarding the hoop setup above, I like the fact that they made the rig detachable from the net.
