    Default hobo fishing

    Has any one ever tried this. It is really fun. I just cast it like a regular rod instead of throwing the bait though.

    Never tried that. I would think you could use a stick or anything just to roll the line on. Plastic bottles or jugs with a short line tied onto it, baited and thrown into a cove or place where they don't wash away, take a nap and pull 'em in. That's my kind of fishing.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    i hate rod & reel fishing, too boring

    i would set two of more lines with bobbers/floats
    come back in a few hours
    if i caught something, fine, if not, try again

    now on the other hand
    if i knew that fish were in a special spot, i'd try spear fishing
    .
    Knowledge without experience is just information


    there are two types of wild food enthusiasts,
    one picks for enjoyment of adding something to a meal,
    and the second is the person who lives mostly on ( wild ) edibles

    I love jig fishing, bait fishing is a little boring. Spear fishing is illegal around here, so I don't know about that.

    gread vid. Do you think you could scale up that trap to work on bigger game such as rabbits and use a rock instead of a log? Like a figure 4 but a different trigger. hmm. really makes ya think.
