Bamboo Fishing


Sunday I took Ed fishing. The last time I took Ed fishing we went white bass fishing and he absolutely crushed them, sticking nearly a hundred whites. Ed's wife had given him a 6 foot 6 inch bamboo rod that he had never used and he was was anxious to get it broken in. The Corps was good to us and gave us a window of low water fishing, so we took it. It took him a minute to get used to the soft new stick but before long he was sticking fish left and right. It was super exciting to watch his rod bend almost in half with these fish. About noon we put the boat on the trailer and headed down river. The fun continued. Everywhere we went Ed was hooking fish. We had to work hard for all of them but it sure was a blast. We finished the day with about 60 fish. An incredible day. He only fished a graphite rod for about 30 minutes at the tail end of the day when we ran out of low water. We had a blast. We worked on some double haul techniques and got him ready for some streamer fishing next time!
