Church Fan Brush Pile

[skeetbum]

In May of '09 I bought the boat I have now, and I believe it was in June I got into my first tourney with it. I stumbled into a group of boo buckets while trolling and marked them and fished there all day. My partner and I beat everyone else that day by over 2lbs and won big fish too. I've been a fan of bamboo ever since. It may not be the easiest to work with, and only last a year or two at best, but it does the job better than anything else I've ever fished. Others do well also, like plastic and hardwood, and do even better when there's a cluster or two of boo nearby. I lose a lot less jigs in boo than anything else but plastic. I ran a row of plastic, then branches, then plastic, then branches and so on that produced within a couple of weeks and while it wasn't in the best area it could have been, it did well enough for me to visit it and get a few every time out.

What is best to use to cut down bamboo? Last time I tried I was a kid and it was tough stuff....

We use bolt cutters for big boo.

I never knew there was a difference but appearantly river cane and bamboo are two different species with true boo holding up longer.... atleast that's what I have been told recently. Maybe someone else can chime in.
