HOOPING FOR ANSWERS

[Nessie Hunter]

If you have the limited 2 poles on the pier can you still have 2 hoop nets or does the hoop nets replace the poles ?

Fin Fish — Gear Restrictions
28.65. General...
(b) On public piers, no person shall use more than two rods and lines, two hand lines, or two
nets, traps or other appliances used to take crabs.

I interpret this rule as allowing two rods AND two nets.

Thats funny..

What I see is TWO, whether it be rods & lines or nets.. Limit TWO, not two of each..

"OR" being the operative word not "AND"... Thats just how I read that quote....

Sansou can we have a legal opinion ???? :D Send the bill to BIG0FISH ..... :D

I concur
I just wanted a second set of eyes. Thats how I interpreted it also.
Total of 2.
2 poles
OR
2 hoops
or
1 of each

IMHO the rational for this was that one person wouldn't over take a whole pier or at least excessively use it more than anyone else

I been reading the regs, and some where along the line I remember reading that is 2 per person, either or, 1 pole 1 net, or 2 poles, or 2 nets. hope that make sense.

Question.

Do you need a license to hoop off a peir. I know you do not need a license to fish but I am curious about hooping??

Please let me know, I am thinking of taking my lil-bro in law out this weekend.

no, but you do need a gauge to measure your catches.

Yeah, I see your point now. I agree that it's two of whatever. Lucky when my girl and I fish on the pier we have three poles and one net so we're still legal.
