Is that like spear fishing in the rocks?

**Smok** · 11-14-2007, 06:12 PM

No the pole is 12 feet long or so then there is a wire maybe 2' to 3' long and then 6" leader and hook

Okay now I got that outta my system... So its not anything like spear fishing, but its like cane fishing? I don't understand.

It's easer to go to site that I posted at the top.. You see all thouse rocks there are a lot of fish in there

I poke fish w/ a pole if that counts

**canid** · 01-29-2008, 09:31 PM

i dunno, saying it isn't 12' isn't exactly an insult.

in all seriousness i plan to try this the next chance i get. i've never thought of trying anything like it and it's so straight forward.

I live in Northern CT and the closest beaches are crappy here. I doubt it would be very successful.

**canid** · 01-29-2008, 09:56 PM

you have many catfish holes in that area? sorry if i don't know much about your state. this method seems like it might be quite effective for catfish, as they are crevice hiding ambush predators.

Can't fish that way here, it is not legal. Most of the fishing is fly fishing, some spin fishing. Main type of fish is Atlantic Salmon and trout. Looks like it would be fun to try though.
