The good ole days
When I was very young we used chicken/turkey feathers for bream fishing floats . Also have used a pine cone till it would not float for larger fish .We would buy mill end line for about a quarter but never knew exactly how much you were getting . Did not take much on the zebco 202 . Any others have similar past ?

I used my grandmother corks that sealed here snuff bottle and the hooks I bought from the little country store were purchased from a single box at that store as well as the cat gut line was sold by the foot we would use piece of wheel weights for sinkers and used whatever bush or small tree for a pole and it was a treat when we found bamboo cane poles.
Be safe and good luck fishing
Grenada spillway has tons of sparkplugs in it used as fishing weights . Old enough to remember the "wildlife zoo" and the bait shop on the dam .We would dig worms and sell to bait shop . Worms were in the woods there by the thousand . We sold to bait shop for a penny , they sold for two cents . The also had a fish trough and would buy catfish .

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
