Handline fishing

[funbun]

Anyone here do any handline fishing for crappie of any other fish? I'm trying to simplify.

nope but i stand naked over a stream and swat them with my paw like a bear does salmon

[funbun]

I'm just wondering because most people around the world who actually have to fish to feed their families everyday, don't use rods and reels. For them it isn't a sport.

Check this guy out. Mentawai Island Fishing. He's fishing in deep water, and I see no reason why this wouldn't work especially well while nightstalking under the lights.

This is the 21st century dude!:rolleyes:

Tie one end of your handline to a cane pole and put a hook on the other end!

That native guy is usein a "Cuban Yo-Yo". They sell em at Wal-Mart here in Fla. I use one to roll up my bridge gaff on.

Sounds like fly-fishing which is almost as old as handline fishing.

Well, if they could afford a nice boat, an outboard, and rods and reels, they probably wouldn't be fishing to feed their families either. They'd probably be fishing for sport, tournaments and all.
