Hooping off the Kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey guys,

Going to give hooping a shot off the kayak this week. I got 3 hoops, I know how to rig em and will be bringing my stable Malibu kayak out there.

I know with anything related to kayaking, there are always helpful tricks you learn on your first few trips out. I'm hoping to reduce the learning curve and avoid some mistakes.

Any tips of tricks appreciated.

I get the whole safety thing, but what's the best approach? A good headlamp, rig up some deck lighting? Any tricks for pulling nets without a Davit? A simple way to hold the nets on deck?

So far I can think of, bring Kevlar gloves, waders, my diving light, headlamp.
