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.

    Or just buy some fishing tackle and get at it. I see no hacks that help me catch more fish. Use an empty Capri Sun to store stink bait? How about use a zip lock bag. This article is retarded.

    Yeah this article is retarded. If i need to provide food for my family, im not going to go out sportfishing with hook and line hoping the fish will bite. I will be using nets in that fucking river because there wont be any Wardens on the dole to stop me.
