I just mailed out 20 of these fishing kits, with five more waiting on the counter for Monday mail. Anyone else want one, or ten. PM me, and I'll get to it after my hunting trip.
LOL @Ganado... no not in an M&M container but one for this purpose (as well as tangling up other critters like birds etc) will fit in a small zip lock snack bag... I made up a bunch of them for exactly this purpose... 3 feet high about 8-9 feet long... lead line and floaters included... soooooooo...... maybe not totally a different conversation..... @BTPost is absolutely correct... nets are highly efficient and effective and can clean out rivers, lakes, ponds, coastlines etc... pretty darn quick... just like wild game out there... this and @Witch Doctor 01 's comment on trot lines ... as well as traps (also light and collapsing) for the critters that crawl around on land as well as in the rivers, lakes, ponds, coastlines etc (I love crawfish, shrimp and prawns) ... are brutally effective and efficient on wiping out things fast... especially in some of the situations we talk about possibly happening... Fish netting... I recommend the monofilament type ... is cheap and light... traps, scoop nets etc... can all be fashioned pretty quickly with available natural vegetation and cordage... you only really need to carry the netting... And they are passive... like @kellory 's yo yo reels... snares traps etc... set it and go about getting other things done... Maybe @Witch Doctor 01 will explain trot lines for folks that may not know what they are... another great passive technique... similar to long lining in the ocean... (or they can simply google it) People and animals will always be attracted to and head for water ... it's a natural thing in many of the situations we talk about here... so many solutions are found at water... especially fresh water.... Of course this is all just my humble opinion... I could be wrong Have a great week all! @kellory ... you're a saint for doing this! Take Care and God Bless, Bear So @Hanzo when are we going to the coastline to test out your kit?
I'm no saint, sir. I just found something people seem to.like. I'll probably keep making them as long as people keep asking.
it must be something in that Hawaiian water. The mainland monkeys seem to think I'm a pain in the @$$. Enjoy your kits.
I have found that fine braided line lasts longer then I will live. Im 57 now and it has about a 40 year shelf life if kept dry. I am stacked deep with good line Ill die before it goes bad. Nets are not practical here , I would and will use fish traps made of stainless steel or galvanized wire. I have one now that I use to catch shiner minnows , I also have a larger one I made. Fish swim through the funnel to get in after the bait then cant get out. Easy to catch Blue gills this way.
