Has anyone been out hoop netting since the recreational season opened? I'm down under working in Australia and New Zealand until the 17th. Even then I only get 12 days at home and will be spending those evenings in my kayak pulling nets for those nasty creatures. Anybody else on here hoop net or dive for lobster on the west coast?

I know Rancho_Loco dives for abalone and I think I have seen his pictures where he was catching lobsters as well.
