was that a bamboo gaff??

and all them rods....looks like a damn tackle shop

[George@Melton]

that is indeed a bamboo gaff, calcutta bamboo, the same kind used by the men who fished from the racks many years ago, extremely light, flexible and able to stand up to the punishment that 300 days a year of being at sea puts on equipment.

This was a classic West Coast trip, Too many Rods, not enough time and stand-up all the way.. No chairs on these boats. Work the rail or stand there and put your back into it..

Great report..
