Just something to ponder....
As a young fella I spent a lot of time in the Bahamas fishing with my uncle...kinda easy when your mother was born there...Tackle has progressed for me just like television and computers...
My rig back then, either off a boat or on a dock, a coffee can with rolled up line on it...of course a sinker and a hook...lol...
I am seriously considering doing this again just for nostalgia reasons...

Nothing better then the "old" times chrz

Right on! My students always look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them I had a TV with rabbit ears and 5 channels.... hhppy
-
Still the preferred method in many parts of Asia - local fishermen laugh at me with my tackle boxes full of equipment.
-
Agreed...funny when the guy with the line on the can catches more than you with your custom tackle and enough gear to warrant a pack horse... ;D

Tell the kids that the coffe can and string was your fishing pole and also doubled as a phone rofla

old school for sure.. my grandfather did something similar.. He used a thick piece of wood.

I can remember using nuts that we found along the railroad tracks for sinkers.

I've seen it used once. The guy caught a pretty big striper on it too

I was at a party in college a couple years ago and made a bet with a friend that I could catch a fish without a rod and reel. We stumbled down to takanasee. I took a windmill hot dog with me and a flashlight. I found a tangle of line in a bush and a rusty hook. Put the hot dog on the hook and flipped it out about 10 feet. Before I could even crack a beer I had an arm length channel cat struggling on the other end. I must have hit him right in the head. I was a fishing super star in the eyes of my friend after that. That was a fun night
