Now that's what I call, knowing how to fish and where. Wonderfull, simply wonderfull. To bad no close-up shots from the monkey face. Oops, looking at other sites and there its showing the monkey face. Nice going guys and lady. Don't know why it would be smelling like poop? Love to try poke poling myself. First time I ever heard of a monkey faced eel and smelling like poop. Thank you.
The best bamboo can be found at nurseries, I found 15' bamboo poles and make my own Rod Buster Fishing Academy Humboldt Bay Campus tips for proven superb poke pole gear.
A typical poke pole is 5 to 8 feet. It depends on what type of structure you’re fishing in. A jetty or deep tide pool might require a longer pole and a longer coat hanger leader.
How do you dispatch the eel once your catch it?
Where can we buy that hand tool you use to hold/grip the fish?
Here’s a link to fish grips amzn.to/44vLbut
I caught 7 monkey eels in that area before
Where is this location please
South of HMB off HWY 1.
Awesome video! I’m a Colorado fisherman, I’ve only been poke pole fishing twice. Haven’t caught an eel yet, but I can’t wait to try again.
So cool
Where are you I go poke pole at Doran and bodega headlands this spot looks cool
Hey do you know what’s the size limit for these eel?
No size limit but they count against your rockfish bag limit.

Are you in Southern Oregon?
No. SF Bay Area, Northern California.
Darn good poke poling in the Brookings area
@@edquier40 I might have to check it out someday
We’re you buy the bamboo sticks?
Jerry Yanez Any hardware store with a gardening section should have them as garden stakes/decorations.

Good stuff dude!
How long is your pole bro?
A typical poke pole is 5 to 8 feet. It depends on what type of structure you’re fishing in. A jetty or deep tide pool might require a longer pole and a longer coat hanger leader.
Where is this?
I think both ends need to go through loop not just the hook end, unless I’ve been doing it wrong. Great vid
Its a cabezon and needs to be 15" to keep.
I always brain the eels right away and bleed them they are so freakin slippery
michael gonzales I’ll be doing that moving forward.
That was a decent sized cabezon not a baby lingcod
Hey, would like to come out and fish with ya’ll sometime
