Rockfishing and Poke poling videos are always so interesting. Seeing structure and uniqueness in species and spots always gets my view. That and rockfishing is hard so these kinds of videos are much appreciated!
No better time for a wonderful lesson on poke poling! Today I am presenting my local vet tech with a brand new Rod Buster Fishing Academy 10' bamboo poke pole. I will direct him to this video for a lesson. Hey! Congrats to Mimi Fishfish and her winning the coveted Rod Buster Fishing Academy 2021 West Coast TH-cam Fisherman of the Year! Good show Ed!
Edward, great video. Having people mic'd is VERY HELPFUL and takes your video to the next level. Monica is very gracious to show us all these tricks. Sounds like she's the local expert. Nice job pulling all this together! :)
I have been a poke pole fisherman since I was 6 years old with my dad and I just learned something after 41 years at the 8:27 mark!!! Thanks for the info on that rig. Gaffing is illegal and who would have thought that that is a gaff. It was even better with the women teaching you bro🤙
Haha good change of pace having Monica and Veronica as the focus on this episode huh? And yea, that’s why there’s string there. People back in the day would just gaff the creatures in those holes. Octopus specifically.
Amazing video Edward. Poke poling looks like so much fun. It’s really cool you can go out there with a bunch of people and have a fun time. I loved seeing Monica teach how to poke pole. It’s such a different type of fishing. So cool! This was an awesome episode.
Yes! That was the plan! There’s not a whole lot of these episodes probably because conditions must be right. It was definitely fun and a great way to test out the new wireless mics!
Loved it! One of my favorite videos. It was fun because there’s so many people there fishing and also cuz it’s something a little different. Gosh I really gotta get my first monkey face this year and see what it’s all about.
Great Tutorial on Poke Poling~ which is my preferred method of fishing. Just a few "rules" might want to keep in mind with Monkey-Faced Eels & Poke poling 1) make sure you have a place to "land" the fish. Say you get a nice 22 inch fish and have no place to land it? 2) Net that fish ASAP even before removing hook- I've had far to many unhook themselves , get back in water and laugh as I curse them.. a lot! I use a mesh bag and so on, Heck leave hook in and re tie as are going to clean it up anyway so no big deal. 3) With all beach stuff watch the waves never turn your back to it. With Squid I tend to cut it like wide strips of grass easier to hook a long piece on than a chunk.. but just me. Should not need more than 2 maybe 3 squid per person nor more than 4 hooks total for a day..unless try to bring in actual rocks like me to often. Have fun after all. Expect to be soaked waist down when done and have a change of clothes in car shoes and socks as well. If do not need great if do and are freezing butt off well now it sucks. Like the Video keep it up~
Where is this? I just made some poke poles and I’m thinking about going out soon. This weekend it’s a 7 to -1 tide swing which should be good. I’m in SF
Can you tell me the rig you did where you had a quick connect to a LC and you were able to switch to a Carolina i believe by swivel but not sure how you were able to get the weight on the rig. I can seem to find the video
It’s not so much about the fishing, but about the time you spend with friends and family! The important part is just to take what you need to eat and let the rest go!
@@papaleroycooks5856 I think "foraging for fish" might be the correct term for this. It's more collecting than it is fishing because the fish are trapped at low-tide

Hi GUys, mind sharing where this location is?
If it's permitted to ask, where are they?
After watching this video, graving for monkey face eel fish tacos!!
Dope video Bro I got to do another poke pole video again it's been over 10 years at least for me lol
You should! thanks Steve! we gotta connect soon!
@@Hook2Cook let’s do it bro

Hey! Yes it was this one th-cam.com/video/A1VkIquZoas/w-d-xo.html
@@Hook2Cook dude I grew up fishing oceano my whole life and never got a halis that’s crazy
That's a beautiful location. May I ask where is it at?
Vandenberg space force base
@@Hook2Cook Thanks. Do I knock at the front door? Lol.
Do you still work at Honda Edward??
For now, yes
@@Hook2Cook awesome
Wat up E? Is that your PB rock fish? 🙊🤪 be safe out there 🙏🏽🇵🇭
Haha yessir! Best fighting too! 🤣
hmm.. where is wire fishing line illegal or regulated? Thats interesting...
❤🤙🏽
But where to find these spots :(
Places where friends you haven’t met yet are fishing all the time 😜
Hi where is is beautiful location
They don't want to share the location
Central CA near Vandenberg Air Force base. Somewhere outside of Santa Maria, CA.
That was nice of you to release that rock “fish”. Save the resource for future generations. 😆
You know! Gotta keep the big breeders healthy. It ain’t much but it’s honest work
The fisherman in me really hates this way of fishing, I don't know why?
Different strokes for different folks 🤷🏻♂️
It’s not so much about the fishing, but about the time you spend with friends and family! The important part is just to take what you need to eat and let the rest go!

I think "foraging for fish" might be the correct term for this.
It's more collecting than it is fishing because the fish are trapped at low-tide
Mask up fools
I like to use squid or mussels till I find a good spot
Then I switch to gooseneck barnacles.
The gooseneck barnacle (cut open to expose the middle) stays on the hook really well.
Great video.
