Survival Fishing – Part 2

Another long term survival fishing technique there are a few ways to catch fish. If you set up a trap you can wait for the fish to come to you. There are a couple kinds of traps that I’ll try to explain to you. Fish baskets are one way to go. You use supplies found in nature, long sticks and vines. You make a long circular trap with the top closed and a whole in the bottom for the fish to swim through. Use shorter sticks at the bottom to make a sort of funnel so the fish can’t get out once it’s in.

For long term try a pool or shore trap. Build it when there’s a high tide at the low tide line. Fish tend to get near the shore when the tide comes in and move along shore. Where you may have logs available build a box with the side facing the water open. Use more logs to make a channel into the box.
