All for a little boy to catch a little shark................4 years of this. We will get the camera and give it a try. When we catch one, he will be holding the shark and a sign that says "Thanks Matt the Bowhunter" Why do we need a long pole? Whatg is the purpose of that.
Thanks

The purpose of the long pole is:
1) To be able to cast further
2) To help keep your line higher than the breaking waves
Also, check out the last picture in this thread, you'll notice my pole is in a pvc rod holder. That holds my rod, but also gets the rod tip up about 2 feet higher, keeping if further from the breaking waves. When you are fishing, you will have to keep an eye on the rod tip for any movement. The waves will move the tip a lot by themselves, but when a shark gets a hold of your bait the tip will shake violently. Just grab the rod, hang on, and start reeling. I really hope he catches one, he will enjoy all the people gathering around him on the beach to check out "Jaws" that he just caught!
