i got my rifle fixed recently. the gunsmitty had these indian bamboo like sticks (they are not hollow like true bamboo). 15' long. being me (nosy) i asked, what are they for?

he said, "poke pole fishing" and proceeded to gush about it for the next 30 minutes. i went home and googled it and watched a few videos.

i am IN!! it is walking around the rocks during low tide and poking a baited stick into holes. you catch an eel looking fish..the monkey face eel. (prickle back fish). ironically, i decimated my bamboo in my yard, but i think i can find a local stick.

anyone do this? i grew up in the desert so my comfort level messing around the ocean rock structures is uneasy at best..i think i got a coworker to go with me, but cant be sure. it looks like a blast and apparently the fish is delicious.
