Fishing without a rod: how to fish without fishing tackle

Nowadays, it is difficult to catch fish even with gear, but the TV heroes of the Galileo program claim that it is possible to catch fish without a fishing rod, but using, at the same time, long-forgotten, but proven, methods of catching fish.

Pit connected to a pond

To do this, you need to dig a hole next to the river or headquarters and connect it with a moat. The fish will definitely swim into this small pond, it remains only to take and close its exit back, using a partition for this, in the form of an ordinary shovel.

In order for the fish to swim into this trap, it must be pushed to this by some kind of bait. You can use regular bread crumbs for this. Crumbs can be sketched in the evening, and in the morning there will be fresh fish.

The plastic method

To implement this method, you should take a plastic bottle with a volume of about 5 liters, or maybe more. It all depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. The bottle is cut off at the point where the narrowing of the bottle begins, which then passes into the neck. The neck will serve as the hole through which the fish will swim into the bottle.

Then the cut off part is turned over and inserted into the bottle, with the neck inside, after which it is fixed.

Such a trap is placed in the water with its neck against the current, and the bait is placed in the trap. In order for such a design to easily sink to the bottom, many holes can be made in it, with a diameter of about 10 mm. To do this, you can use a heated soldering iron, and in order for such a tackle to hold well at the bottom, you can tie a load to it. Usually such a trap is thrown from the shore, and in order not to be carried away by the current, it should be fixed on the shore with a rope. A very good way to catch live bait.

Primal way, on the spear

According to scientists, the first tool for catching fish was a spear. It is not difficult to imagine that these were wooden spears. For this method, you will need a small tree, at the end of which two perpendicular cuts are made. As a result, a 4-point spear is obtained. It is much easier to hit the fish with such a tool, since the affected area is much larger. The technique for hunting fish is as follows: you need to go into the water, throw bait around you and wait without moving for the fish to come to feed. Naturally, it may not work out the first time, but if you practice a little, then this tool can become a serious tackle that came to us from the past.

Manual mode

This method can give an effect if there are a lot of fish in the reservoir. To do this, go into the pond and stir up the water with your feet so that the fish cannot be seen. Soon the fish will begin to leave this place, as it will be difficult for them to breathe. As a rule, she rises up and tries to stick her head out, and this is where you can take it with your “bare” hands. For the method to be effective, you need to be able to find a suitable place for fishing. If this is a river, then it is better to find a small backwater so that there is no current there, otherwise the muddy water will quickly be carried away by the current and you can not hope for a result. The fish loves not large backwaters in which there is vegetation and where it feeds actively.

Summing up

It is quite possible to catch fish without popular gear, you just have to dream up, find a suitable place and arm yourself with bait, as well as any auxiliary tool. In this case, you do not have to pay big money for hooks, fishing line, reels and rods.
