    Thuy, I wish I could like more than once! That is so easy. Wish I had a boat! I have seen these hoops drift into the pylons at the pier too often and get snagged on the pylons too often to use one there.
    I enjoy making my own gear too.
    My wife would kill me if I ever bent the rebar on the floor!!
    I am lucky enough to have a couple shops with cement floors.

    Wow, that's a sturdy custom-made crab hoop. It’s way better than the ones that you buy at the West Marine or Amazon. It’s totally cost effective and it gives you more options to do whatever you like i.e add additional weights inside the PVCs to keep it submerged without spending extra money on clumsy leads, etc. Very clever Brother Thuy. As fishing/crabbing regulations keep changing every year, you just can’t throw your hard-earned money at the problem by spending more $$$$ on new gear. You have got to adapt and be creative to make your own gear. Great job Brother and keep up those great vids coming.

    So for people looking to get supplies, 3 10 foot pieces of rebar, 1 piece of 10 foot 1/2 inch PVC, and the plastic chicken wire comes to a little under $60 at home depot and you get 2 hoop nets out of it. A little more if you get the extra rebar for weight. One piece of the 3/8 rebar will yield the 2 top rings. To put it in perspective if you were to buy this, you'd be spending at least $50 each hoop net of this style. Last time I priced it, came out to $120 plus tax for 2 pots.
    For crabbers on a budget looking to feed their families, as my late grandfather used hunting and fishing to do when he was dirt poor, this is the better option.

    Just got update from DFG - The recreational take of Dungeness crab using crab traps in Fishing Zones 3 and 4, (from the Sonoma/Mendocino county line to Lopez Point) will be temporarily restricted when the season opens on Nov. 6 due to presence of humpback whales and leatherback sea turtles and the potential for entanglement from trap gear.
    But is says it also says - Recreational take of Dungeness crab by other methods, including hoop nets and crab snares, is not affected by the temporary trap restriction and is allowed statewide beginning Nov. 6, 2021
    So are these nets and the old style round ring nets legal from a boat starting Nov 6? Do you just tie a line to a buoy and drop in ocean?
