Well technically a fishing rod is like a trap, you can set the bait out and just leave it well lodged so if you get a big one it can't pull the rod away
@@jirredvang901 I understand what you are saying. But, fish can get away from a hook and as an avid fisher they can get away a lot. just the way it is. And if you leave it out there while you are getting all the other things done that need to get done like finding insane amount of fire wood, getting your sleeping area off the ground if possible, setting up a very safe area from weather and animals, setting up a signal fire, setting up a food safe area so animals can't get to it and on and on and more and more. It is best to set up a trap that will not only last but will hold what ever gets caught in there.
I grew up in rural Alabama. I learnt as a youngster, best way to catch crawdads real quick. Find a smaller stream bed. Flip over rocks gently so as not to murk up the water and watch where the crawdad goes. All you need is a cup. Crawfish always run away backwards but can't see backwards. Spend a good hour or two (which you'd spend fishing anyways ) and you don't even need to fish. You gotta crawfish feast! Dandelions and wild lettuce grow everywhere too so you got you're vitamins. Don't forget the wild strawberries, blackberries and muscadimes!
@@seekeroftruth5656 you want 20 feet of water at night with a green light and chad for bass. And you can catch 100+ each in a night. You want a foot long fish for catfish living.then you catch 20+ pound catch fish. Ive been fishing 100z of times. And ive tried crawfish. Lots of time ive never gotten a bite not on bottom not floating with a bober. Horrble bait. P.s if your after large mouth bass you want chad and a bober mornings or evening near trees in the water. And all your fake baits suck.. But feel free to tell me what you caught using them? Not what people say they work for. Cause there bad bait.
Agree. But I love catching them with my hands. They fish well as bait, but you need to think about what you're casting into with a live crawdad, and snapping their claws off is a must if you're going to let them sit. On the downstream side of a sandbar near a channel is ideal, but give the line a little yank and reel in every minute or so to keep the bug from digging in.
I used to fish like this as a kid in Florida. We used dacron line but cut our own cane for poles, used rocks or shells as weights and made gorges from twigs, rib bones rom big ole catfish, chicken bones and pop cans. We never had a problem catching fish. Getting our tackle back was a different story. The fish usually swallowed the gorge so we'd either have to cut them open to get it back or have a stock of more to retie. My uncle who qas a boyscout taught me and my cousin how to make and use everything. Nothing like catching fish on equipment you made yourself.
I use 2 find old hooks that were kinda rusty & I'd sharpen them w/a file & clean the rusty eye of the hook with a drop of motor oil & a toothpick. There was always plenty of monofilament in a trashcan near my fishin hole & a shell or 2 would be my weights. Tying monofilament is EZ-PZ & my fishing line never broke. I used a stainless steel car antenna as as my fishing pole, it was a bit short, bt it always worked 2 pull in a few fish 4 dinner ! The fish that were not good 2 eat got put back in the drink...I never murdered them needlessly. I see people fishing & they beat up the fish at smashing their heads on the concrete or w/a hammer & I wish I could whack them with an axe, see how they'd like that !!!

Well the funny thing is and a lot of people don't seem to realize this if you keep your fishing line out of direct sunlight like in your tackle box it'll last a long time I have the same spool of 6 lb test fishing line that I've been using for the last 20 years. Every single year usually in the spring pull off about 25 ft of old worn in line on your fishing reel and you can use the same fishing line on your reel for several years. A lot of people also don't seem to realize even if disaster strikes tomorrow there's so much fishing line that people have access to on this planet that it'll take at least 200 years for fishing line to run out. It's good to know the skills in an emergency situation if you don't have any equipment or gear but majority of the time it's just easier to keep a compact micro fishing kit on you. Another thing a lot of people forget is when you pull split shot weights made of lead off of fishing poles and they've been crushed to the point you can't open them anymore you can pound those flat and then fold them over on your line and reuse them again.
@@noway57 it's only used for lake fishing, I don't use 6 lb anywhere other than a lake. If I'm going on a canal or a river I'm using at least 12 to 20 lb
You can also use chicken leg bone. Waterproof and much stronger. I caught a big catfish with it. I use charlie blood catfish bait and when the fish run, let it run for like 10 seconds so it can swallow it fully before setting the hook.
FISHING THE BORROW PIT LAKES: in Florida, there's borrow pit lakes everywhere U go ! These lakes were created by taking a chunk of land too build up a housing development a few miles away ! Some of these borrow pit lakes dont have any structures around them, its just vacant land out in the middle of BFE. These lakes have runoff so the water never seems 2 be stagnant & the pan fish in those lakes are some awsome sized fish like 10"inches across ! U can use dough & bake it to look like a frog with the hook inside the frog & all U need is to shape the hook in the baked frogs leg. The frog will float for about 10 minutes, bt usually the fish will hit it long b4 then ! We bake up to 50 baby dough frogs & 50 dough moths every Friday night ! On Saturday we come home with a minimum of 5 Home Depot orange buckets fulla fish ! Our neighbors enjoy our catch too ! We catch to eat & release them safely if they're under size. Some of the BIG ones are also released bak in the drink too not strip the lakes of productive fish...

@@seekeroftruth5656at this point in time, there will _always_ be a soda can nearby to turn into a lure. Or a shirt button. Or a feather. And there are more effective hook systems than a toggle barb.
"I made about 13 feet of cordage so let's go fishing" is like Steve Martin saying "You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes. First, get a million dollars. Okay, next..."
The most effective tool the native american indian used was a gaff. Just take a pole with a solid limb that points back up the pole. Put a point on it, and for then they could catch a month's worth of fish in a day. Mostly due to there being 95% more fish to be gotten then.
This guy had a real proper dad. Taught him how to survive outside of living in the city. Vids like this are what the homeless that are living in the city need to seek out when they visit the local library computer. 😏
A spring loaded fish trap with this same setup would be better suited in a survival situation because you can set multiple and do other tasks, no guarantee youll catch anything but greatly increases the odds the more traps you set. Survival is a calories and daylight game, work smarter not harder, traps hunt for you even when you sleep
This is the real reason I always have canned food and even after eating it I keep the can. The curved rims of Cans usually have a hollow seam where they roll the edges of the can so you don’t cut yourself. You can make lures, hooks, sinkers all of just a can. I usually use a little piece as a snapshot when fly fishing.
You never catch a fish this way. However, it is indeed possible to fish without a hook. A common method of catching carp is using a clothing button. Pressed sunflower seed cake is used, which attracts carp. The fish begins to “suck” the cake, and any debris that gets into the fish’s mouth is thrown out through the gills. A button, which is tied with a leash near the sunflower cake, interferes with the fish and is thrown out through the gills in the same way, after which the fish will not leave. It will remain in place until the morning, when the fisherman returns to his gear, which he left for the night. This is called the “gill method” and it is prohibited in many regions, but it is still widespread and used in those reservoirs where many large carp live.
@@goodcitizen3780 Look, I’m not saying that it’s absolutely impossible to catch fish with this method. But this method is not reliable. Our distant ancestors probably used it when there were no hooks. But then, a couple of thousand years ago, the rivers were full of fish, not like now. In addition, then, in that ancient era, the fish in the rivers had not yet undergone evolutionary selection on the principle of distrust of fishing bait. Now, even with modern fishing gear, which is close to perfection, anglers are often left without a catch. And with this method shown in the video, a modern angler can spend years trying to catch a modern fish. And this will be the result of an unlikely and surprising event, and not a fairly expected reliable result. One way or another, this method is definitely not suitable for survival. You and I will starve to death 10 times before we catch food this way. And yes, I apologize for my English. This is not my native language.
@@ecologygarden Great point. It can work in your favor. Only, probably not using it like he has it in the video. The notch should be off center and the short side should be the lowest point, farthest from the shore side of the line. It should not be weighted the way he does it because, with the thickness of the line, the fish will come from the bottom to pluck the bait away from the line. Once there is tension, the short side will try to flip upward, and, if the gorge is made very sharp, or even barbed, it will lodge into the animal's muscle.
i was told by other fisherman that fish are getting smarter everyday to notice the bait, the line, and etc. so, it's like a race between fish cognition and human fishing technology. fishing with that setup might be viable for the old days, but definitely way way harder for now.
DYNAMITE GOOSE: bak in my early years, we'd get a block of styrofoam frm the boat yard & we'd carve them up 2 resemble a real goose & paint them. We'd take a stick of #60 strength dynamite & put a gouge in the dynamite tip & fasten place a firecracker inside the dynamite w/a lit cigarette near the fuse. The fuse was a green waterproof fuse & the cigarette was a Camel or Pall Mall which wud always burn down 2 the end. We'd hide the stick of dynamite inside the goose & put the lit cigarette across the firecracker fuse. We'd let the breeze carry the fake goose 2 the crowd of geese & KABLAMMO. We'd get 3 to 5 months of good tasting birds 2 eat. Thanks Giving was never a problem 4 a feast in our neighborhood, we had enuf too feed several families who couldn't afford a feast !
The goal is to get the fish to swallow it down. This isn't a catch and release system. This is for food. Trying to set this setup in it's mouth by yanking on the line will only dislodge it. Wait before reeling it in. It'll work.
Nice thing about catching crawdads if you are having a hard time catching them cause they keep trying to get away. Get it to pinch you with its claws! They don’t let go so no need to put much effort into catching it. Then grab it and break off the claw… to get it to let go!! Put it in a bucket and go after the next one!
Forget the fish, if I have crawdads I'm eating crawdads. If you can get it, yucca makes a *_much_* finer line than dogsbane. Also, use a piece of bone instead of wood
Dogsbane grows much further east than yucca. Also, one piece of crawdad becomes a much larger piece of fish, which is why you would do this- this is probably a "day 2" or "day 3" thing.
Ah come on. So far your channel has been great. This video was unfinished though.... For those that don't believe this works- it does but not without patience. This video needed a catch added.
Always worried about fish seeing my line, but only in lakes where they've somehow evolved the intelligence to distinguish it from anything else that people throw in thier habitat constantly. Great vid, can't wait for part 2 where you catch something
We always carved the notch off center and put the short end facing down. We also made the gorge more sharp and sometimes barbed. The point of orientation of not h and short end is so that when you pull, or when the fish pulls, it flips and stabs into the meat and the fish cannot so easily get away. With that set-up you can run trot lines or, even better, limb lines. The limb lines give feedback so it helps set the gorge and keeps tension on it, plus you can usually see which lines caught a fish and which didn't.
Если нужно поймать рыбу, чтобы выжить, то никто не будет заморачиваться с такой конструкцией. Палку заточил с одной стороны и погнал колоть самых крупных особей. Ну или, если нужна рыба поменьше, то можно палкой прорыть "бассейн" с "перемычкой", куда рыба заплыть сможет, но не сможет выплыть.
*be sure and angle your approach from a tail forward position, if you're straight up or forward, they CAN (and will) pinch you... though it's rare to break the skin

@@seekeroftruth5656at this point in time, there will _always_ be a soda can nearby to turn into a lure. Or a shirt button. Or a feather. And there are more effective hook systems than a toggle barb.
This is a highly effective technique when you don't have a hook. Great video
Great advice, thanks.
I genuinely appreciate this channel
"I made about 13 feet of cordage so let's go fishing" is like Steve Martin saying "You can be a millionaire and never pay taxes. First, get a million dollars. Okay, next..."
Thanks for the history lesson
The most effective tool the native american indian used was a gaff. Just take a pole with a solid limb that points back up the pole. Put a point on it, and for then they could catch a month's worth of fish in a day. Mostly due to there being 95% more fish to be gotten then.
You've got a great channel going Huckleberry Finn!
This guy had a real proper dad. Taught him how to survive outside of living in the city. Vids like this are what the homeless that are living in the city need to seek out when they visit the local library computer. 😏
What you don't mention is that sometimes people would wait hours or days. Thats why we dont fish like this anymore 😅
A spring loaded fish trap with this same setup would be better suited in a survival situation because you can set multiple and do other tasks, no guarantee youll catch anything but greatly increases the odds the more traps you set.
Survival is a calories and daylight game, work smarter not harder, traps hunt for you even when you sleep
This is the real reason I always have canned food and even after eating it I keep the can. The curved rims of Cans usually have a hollow seam where they roll the edges of the can so you don’t cut yourself. You can make lures, hooks, sinkers all of just a can. I usually use a little piece as a snapshot when fly fishing.

Legend has it, he's still trying to catch a fish. 😂
You never catch a fish this way. However, it is indeed possible to fish without a hook. A common method of catching carp is using a clothing button. Pressed sunflower seed cake is used, which attracts carp. The fish begins to “suck” the cake, and any debris that gets into the fish’s mouth is thrown out through the gills. A button, which is tied with a leash near the sunflower cake, interferes with the fish and is thrown out through the gills in the same way, after which the fish will not leave. It will remain in place until the morning, when the fisherman returns to his gear, which he left for the night. This is called the “gill method” and it is prohibited in many regions, but it is still widespread and used in those reservoirs where many large carp live.
Good advice about the carp but of course you're incorrect about the method shown in the video.
@@goodcitizen3780 Look, I’m not saying that it’s absolutely impossible to catch fish with this method. But this method is not reliable. Our distant ancestors probably used it when there were no hooks. But then, a couple of thousand years ago, the rivers were full of fish, not like now. In addition, then, in that ancient era, the fish in the rivers had not yet undergone evolutionary selection on the principle of distrust of fishing bait. Now, even with modern fishing gear, which is close to perfection, anglers are often left without a catch. And with this method shown in the video, a modern angler can spend years trying to catch a modern fish. And this will be the result of an unlikely and surprising event, and not a fairly expected reliable result. One way or another, this method is definitely not suitable for survival. You and I will starve to death 10 times before we catch food this way. And yes, I apologize for my English. This is not my native language.
One problem with this technique is the thickness of cord - very easy for fish to see
@@ecologygarden 5000 years ago it's was not a problem at all. But now it's a real problem. Because of selection
@@ecologygarden
Great point. It can work in your favor. Only, probably not using it like he has it in the video.
The notch should be off center and the short side should be the lowest point, farthest from the shore side of the line. It should not be weighted the way he does it because, with the thickness of the line, the fish will come from the bottom to pluck the bait away from the line.
Once there is tension, the short side will try to flip upward, and, if the gorge is made very sharp, or even barbed, it will lodge into the animal's muscle.
i was told by other fisherman that fish are getting smarter everyday to notice the bait, the line, and etc.
so, it's like a race between fish cognition and human fishing technology.
fishing with that setup might be viable for the old days, but definitely way way harder for now.
We used to use fish with yarn and hooks baited with beaver. (Friend's dad was a trapper)
DYNAMITE GOOSE: bak in my early years, we'd get a block of styrofoam frm the boat yard & we'd carve them up 2 resemble a real goose & paint them. We'd take a stick of #60 strength dynamite & put a gouge in the dynamite tip & fasten place a firecracker inside the dynamite w/a lit cigarette near the fuse. The fuse was a green waterproof fuse & the cigarette was a Camel or Pall Mall which wud always burn down 2 the end. We'd hide the stick of dynamite inside the goose & put the lit cigarette across the firecracker fuse. We'd let the breeze carry the fake goose 2 the crowd of geese & KABLAMMO. We'd get 3 to 5 months of good tasting birds 2 eat. Thanks Giving was never a problem 4 a feast in our neighborhood, we had enuf too feed several families who couldn't afford a feast !
Самый лучший поплавок получается из винной пробки. Помню ещё с детства.
The goal is to get the fish to swallow it down. This isn't a catch and release system. This is for food. Trying to set this setup in it's mouth by yanking on the line will only dislodge it. Wait before reeling it in. It'll work.
Lets go fishing!!!
Nice thing about catching crawdads if you are having a hard time catching them cause they keep trying to get away. Get it to pinch you with its claws! They don’t let go so no need to put much effort into catching it. Then grab it and break off the claw… to get it to let go!! Put it in a bucket and go after the next one!
Your tone of voice is beautiful. Succeed as a presenter on international radio programs
Its not supposed to turn sideways in the mouth, It is supposed to turn sideways once the fish swallowed it ...!
Forget the fish, if I have crawdads I'm eating crawdads.
If you can get it, yucca makes a *_much_* finer line than dogsbane. Also, use a piece of bone instead of wood
Dogsbane grows much further east than yucca. Also, one piece of crawdad becomes a much larger piece of fish, which is why you would do this- this is probably a "day 2" or "day 3" thing.
Di indonesia. Khususnya di daerah saya .tekhnik itu nmanya TEMELENGKANG . Untuk menangkap belut.keren
I did that in the 1950's. Learned from my grandpa born in 1885.
Dude I'm so proud of you.
Native Americans in Florida use something like that to catch alligators it's called a smart stick.
My favorite native fishing technique: Dam the nearest creek or stream, stroll down stream and pick up fish.
Man I wish we could just hang out. This is all I want to do, go mess around in the woods like this.
Ah come on. So far your channel has been great. This video was unfinished though....
For those that don't believe this works- it does but not without patience. This video needed a catch added.
😮 I don't think any fish were caught because we would see the catching fish on the video
Legend has it he's still waiting for a bite.😅
I would never have thought the gorge would work in place of a hook. Your videos are awesome and very informative
Great vid
I’m a lousy fisherman so I take at least a 6 pack with me. Then I know if I don’t catch a fish, I’ll at least catch a buzz! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
You produce a great channel. Thanks! I enjoy watching it.
Man I love your videos*
I’ve learned from this video how Native Americans made a hook. Very impressed.
The technique is good ingenuity
I would love to see you catching a fish on this setup and the lil thingy you use instead of a fishing hook not coming out of its mouth
Always worried about fish seeing my line, but only in lakes where they've somehow evolved the intelligence to distinguish it from anything else that people throw in thier habitat constantly. Great vid, can't wait for part 2 where you catch something
The only fish you can catch with a wooden stick turning sideways is a Pike, they often eat my bobber/float while I'm angle fishing 😅
We always carved the notch off center and put the short end facing down. We also made the gorge more sharp and sometimes barbed.
The point of orientation of not h and short end is so that when you pull, or when the fish pulls, it flips and stabs into the meat and the fish cannot so easily get away.
With that set-up you can run trot lines or, even better, limb lines.
The limb lines give feedback so it helps set the gorge and keeps tension on it, plus you can usually see which lines caught a fish and which didn't.
Why did I think you made a tiny joint for the fish? TH-cam broke my brain 😂
Like the Van Gogh vibe. ❤
I could give a rat's ass about the rest of the video... i was sold at "I made about 13 ' of cordage!" LMAO! /hats off
It actually turns inside their throat, if it turned inside its mouth it would do absolutely nothing

Глушить рыбу такой снастью думаю можно успешно , ловить врятли😂
I love your vids man!
This is what I like to see useful knowledge
Legend says he's still waiting
I promise you, the fish aint smart enough to know what a fishing line is
Your voice really vibes my ear canal
This is pretty dope
Если нужно поймать рыбу, чтобы выжить, то никто не будет заморачиваться с такой конструкцией. Палку заточил с одной стороны и погнал колоть самых крупных особей. Ну или, если нужна рыба поменьше, то можно палкой прорыть "бассейн" с "перемычкой", куда рыба заплыть сможет, но не сможет выплыть.
*be sure and angle your approach from a tail forward position, if you're straight up or forward, they CAN (and will) pinch you... though it's rare to break the skin
