Poke Poling for MFPB

Came up one a poke poling rig at Albion, a friend of mine who bought $30 in tickets won it, he ended up leaving it with me.

Id love to give this a try for some of them ugly ass eels.

Anyone have any suggestions on good spots?

Anyone interested in going sometime?

YES, I wanna give it a shot.  Got a bunch of guys at work interested too!  Been looking for a neg. tide weekend that i'm not fishing already   Will be picking a date sometime in the next few weeks to give this a try.  Hey, can you list the make/model of the poke pole you got?  I'm still looking for a 12ft piece of bamboo, but may just get a collapsible one like yours...

Al,

lets do it. sounds like fun..

yeah when i get home, i will let you know the model/brand

I am up for it as well. Andy took me to Moss Landing at low tide, just used long heavy wire , loop the end with a swivel on the end and put on a hook or a shrimp fly with squid strip on the end. It was super easy and fun.

My wife and I love them they are great eating.
Let's go, take the wife and kids and sit on the jetty poke poling and have a picnic.

sounds good to me!

Id like to try the bean hallow and pigeon points area as well...

a neg tide when the swell or wind isn't in out favor. Could be fun family day at the beach.....I am down. AND ON THE HUNT FOR BAMBOO!

  Hey Al. Last saturday I saw some blank poke poles on display up on the ceiling in a party boat store in the Pillar Point Harbor. It's the one the Queen of Hearts  goes out of by the ATM machine. They looked pretty nice but I think they are $30 

The wire for cyclone fencing works great for a tip.  It's bendable, to get into crevices.  Pound the tip flat and drill a hole for your hook, or short leader.

Attached to a busted fishing pole, or bamboo...

Too long and transport becomes an issue...  make sure it fits your vehicle.

sounds like we have a crew. Lets pick a spot then check those tides... i have a bbq i can bring and some beers

I'm in!!

Family beach day!!

I got a few busted fishing poles in the balck hole garage I can dig out!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

I'm interested. Could someone post a hookup when a time and place has been decided? Perhaps Kris can show us how it's done.
