Yeah, got a rack to keep the hoops from sliding off, but what keeps them in place if you go belly up?

Try bungee cords or else just pull them back up. They have floats on the end of the rope. Would be hard to right the yak with all the nets tied on.

Yea I would imagine it would be pretty difficult to right the kayak with 5 nets on top of it. Id probably just finish my landing then go swimming for my nets.

if you tie them down to the yak...if the yak flips you will never be able to right it up again.

[QUOTE=easyday;170790]Maybe you need to get one, think? Would make the Catalina trip easier if you got the right one. Faster and safer too!

Chris, I can't remember if we hooped together last season or not, but I stack mine on top of a crate with half inch PVC sticking up like stakes in the ground. It's kind of a pain, but the bugs fit nicely in the crate under the hoops.
I think I might rig something up like this if I find some time here soon.

I use my game clip to secure my nets to the kayak. Stack your nets on the yak, run the arm of your clip on the inside of the larger rings while the nets are stacked, and close and secure the clip to the yak. I also place my nets on a PVC rack to keep them from sliding on and off the yak.

Game clip, bungees tie downs, pvc pipe. Man, all these years I've just been stacking them on the front third of my yak and paddling out. Never lost one yet. Guess I must be doing it wrong.

I must be the only spinner dolphin on a yak ...I would NEVER strapped it all down in the ocean or in the bay. Entering and exiting the water maybe but in deep water???
Don't need to plan worse case scenario but don't ever think flipping couldn't happen either. 40-50#'s strapped in on one end. You gotta flip it back over then climb back in? I'm just not picturing it. Jim

Chris, run a strap just around your PVC rack. That way it would stay together and would pop off the kayak if you took a roll. Just leave one of your floats lose to allow it to float up so you can find it. And put your lobsters in some sort of bag. And tie them down. Good luck!:

I run a "main line" of rope along the side of the boat on which I clip everything: hoops, dry bag, lobster cooler ect. Every bag has a carabiner and short line attached. I keep the hoops on the back with a small bungee to keep them from sliding around. I've spent too much on this gear not to tie it down, however I have never capsized so I cant speak to how hard it is to recover it all.

Wasn't worried about loosing them while underway, just on the landing . I guess they shouldn't be too hard to recover if I did have a yard sale.

Only needs to catch the first two hoops through the netting. Good enough for bay landings. Quote:
