Fishing supplies for PSK

For saltwater stuff, making jigs with bait can work pretty good. A shop made jig has a molded lead head with a hook sticking out of it. Adding a rubber tail usually completes the store-bought jig. It is used by moving it up and down, usually just off the bottom so the bottom-dwelling fish can see the siloutte. In a survival situation, I would have 50+ feet of line wrapped around a piece of driftwood for my handline. The jig would be a large hook with an oval stone lashed or duct-taped to it. Most NW Coast beaches have fairy shrimp or piling worms that can be dug for bait. Bright flags of cloth might work too. If you can find a good pool at the bottom of an overhanging rock or short cliff, you can jig away. Fishing off a small raft might be good if you don't have to battle surf and wind.

Using hand lines is an art I won't claim to have mastered-- I'm so accustomed to have the play of a rod to work with. The first time I got a fish on using a hand line from a kayak, I got so excited I darn near capsized. And, yes, the fish got away. :o
 
They are pretty good size runningboar. They are definitely eaters. The littler (smaller than yours) ones will sure teach you how to fish. When you can consistently get in fingerling bass you have learned something. It never ceases to amaze me of the God given gift they have to shake the lure out of there mouth while airborne. As much as I love it here, I sure do miss the fishing.
 
Magneto, just incase you were reffering to my post, I just wanted to make sure that I'm not misquoted, I said "While there is some luck involved with fishing, there is no replacement for experience"
 
I may well have been thinking of that post RR. I wasn't trying to knock you though. Didn't pay any attention who wrote it, and I did miss the experience part. But I don't believe in luck.
