As a result of modern excavations of ancient sites, it was found that our distant ancestors as such did not have fishing rods - this, of course, a necessary and justified invention of mankind was created much later. Nevertheless, archaeologists sometimes find fish bones in the sites of ancient hunters. The conclusion suggests itself: they knew exactly how to catch fish without a fishing rod in order to enjoy it in the long run. Let us turn to the most common methods of fishing without fishing rods, what if this knowledge is useful to us in any critical situation in order to get our own food in these ways? In addition, some ways to catch fish without a fishing rod are quite interesting. And they can be successfully applied on modern fishing.
Pit connected to a pond
How to catch fish without a fishing rod? Sometimes it can be quite difficult to do with a fishing rod, and you have to leave the fishing empty-handed. But if you have a stocked reservoir in the visible space , and you know for sure that there are inhabitants in due abundance, then you can do the following.
- We dig a small pit on the bank of the designated reservoir. We connect it with a moat to the main body of water so that water can flow freely there. The moat should also be wide enough so that the intended production could enter it.
- The fish, according to the idea of construction, should enter the channel itself from the central reservoir, and at this time you block the moat with a partition (an ordinary bayonet shovel will do ).
- But, in order for the fish to want to enter the duct, it must be stimulated for this action. For this, the most various bait is used, which depends on which menu your prey prefers. From cereals to insects, plus - modern bait with pheromones, which well attract the inhabitants of reservoirs.
How to catch fish with your hands without a fishing rod
You can use one of the oldest ways of fishing - manual. Here, the beginning savage will need maximum agility and accuracy in movements, because many species of fish do not like excessive noise and harsh sounds. For training, we recommend watching TV shows on how animals do it, because most likely, our distant ancestors adopted this method from them.
And then - we go in a narrow place of a shallow river into the water about knee-deep. We make movements with our feet to stir up the water. Then it remains to wait: as soon as you see a fish in the water column, grab it with your hands with a sharp movement. You can also “hunt” from the shore, squatting down. But, I must say, this method of catching fish without a fishing rod is not the most productive: you have to wait a long time, and the fish are careful.
Bow and arrow, harpoon
In such ways, the ancient hunters obtained their food. For the first - you need a bow with special fishing arrows, which are slightly different from the usual ones (you can buy, but you can do it yourself). In addition, the arrow needs to be tied with a fishing line, so that after the shot you can get it out of the water with prey.
Similarly, we attach a fishing line or kapron thread to a harpoon . Next - we are looking for a place on the shore to organize an ambush for our prey. But so that the water surface was visible from him quite clearly and it was possible to make a shot or throw. When a fish worthy of attention will swim by, throw a harpoon or fire a bow.
Fishing line on hand
How to catch fish in the sea without a fishing rod? In this way - only fishing line and hooks with cargo - usually gobies are caught at sea. Goby - unpretentious fish, greedy for bait. Therefore, in order to catch him, there is no need to resort to the help of a fishing rod. How can you catch fish without a fishing rod - a sea goby, for example?
- We take a fishing line (monofilament or cord), we attach a small sinker and a hook to it. Kryuchkov, by the way, can be several: sometimes a goby bites so eagerly that 2-3 hooks can simultaneously catch a small fish, even if not too large.
- Bait hooks. The role of it can be the meat of mussels or pieces of the same bull, chopped into cubes.
- It is more convenient to carry out fishing from the pier, but it is also possible from the shore, but then the casting should be more powerful. Throw it away from the hand into the water.
- Tighten slightly behind the forest to feel a bite. A bull-calf pecks immediately and strongly, so the finger should feel it jerking at the other end of the scaffold.
- We hook and pull our prey to the pier.
Have fun fishing everyone!
