Fishing is a great way to provide food for yourself and family during a SHTF situation. Besides, it's also a fantastic way to pass the time away without using up a lot of energy.

It should come as no surprise that fishing has been a staple for hundreds of years. Many stories and tips of the trade get passed down through the generations as to how many fish fishermen have caught and which ones have gotten away.

But fishermen don't only share the tricks of the trade and pass around stories; they take the time to trade tips and secrets so that others can succeed as much as they have. If you're lucky enough to get tips from an avid fisherman, it's smart to pay attention.

Because after all, who are you going to trust more: the guy from out of town who has a brand new pole with the price tag still attached or an experienced fisherman who knows every trick in the book?

You too can show off just how much expertise you have by learning and applying these useful fishing hacks on the following slides.

    Click bait! What a waste of an article. If you want to catch more fish, get a cast net and learn how to use it and you and your family will never go hungry.

    Is this hustle still going around?

    Its easy

    1 Go to Walmart and get some #6 snelled hooks.
    2. Get 100 yards of monofilament line
    3. Dig some worms, grubs, etc.

    – Attach #1 to #2.
    – Attach one end of a length of #2 to the thin end of a stout stick about 5 feet long
    – Stick #3 onto # 1
    – Holding stick by thick end, fling the 1-2-3 combo into the water, near wood, rocks, or weeds.
    – Keep #3 moving slightly.
    – Repeat as needed to catch fish.

    PS you will need abiut 3000-4000 calories per day, per persin to survive outside of a civilized environment. You won’t get that from fishing, consistently.
    Plan to die.

    Carry small balloons with you. When you catch schooling fish tie a balloon to the leader and let him go. It will float on the water and show you where the school is!
