Catching Fish with No Pole or Fishing Supplies

In this video I show you the steps to catch a fish if you find yourself at the beach with no pole but want to go fishin'!

[@oakland002]

Dude you or one other friend need to just take that little $100 boat and go survive on a island by for the weekend , with VERY little gears , that would be a nice video or two

[@FishermansLife]

I just might do this....thanks for the idea bro lol I'll try to do this before 2016 is over

[@shadowredneck9287]

I can't even catch fish with proper equipment..im so sad..

[@lm2193]

setup everything properly(including the bait, noob fisherman normally don't know how to hook the bait correctly) + abundant fish area = u will catch fish.

No. I think you talk just enough. I couldn't tell you how to improve, except that you sure don't know how to cook the fish you catch...You should contact me and feature some of the many ways to prepare your catch. I am the best at that.

[@jdogg661420]

the only thing your video lacks is a nice intro man. you can always use blender a open source 3d program that you can learn to use to do your own or have someone make you one that you can use on your vids but it might cost some money but if its done right it might give your vids that extra shine. thats the only thing i notice from your vid when i compare it to a super popular one. that and you arent all sponsored up. . its not a huge thing but it makes it seem more professional overall. tightlines.

I love this guy. Best fishing videos ever. Always makes me chuckle.

[@bp-fishing8104]

Hey Matt! It's Brendan, and thanks to this AMAZING video that you made, I caught 2 fish with the makeshift pole that you made in this video! BTW I subbed!

[@shakos4105]

Makes me nostalgic, I used to the same exact thing as a kid, sucked though because it took forever to find everything but I had no bait.

I really like the way you use what's around you its very common to come across several hooks on the getty, I was actually thinking of going today, sucks we could have fished! The shots you take are great there specific and very clear. Great fishing tips I'll really want to try a normal stick then just a whole fishing rod.

[@FishermansLife]

+Israel Rivas Thanks for the feedback! Lot's of people use a long bamboo pole for this kind of fishing. I picked up a 10ft one for free at the Botanical Gardens in SF... you should be able to also if you let them know what it's for

[@anitaangyal4644]

I love the ideas behind it but Im so caught up with the little things. Did you drop that extra line you cur off with the rock and just leave it there? Did you turn the rocks back over after looking under them? These things are important D:

[@carysoriano6186]

You need a channel on cable. Although I'm not retired yet, I could watch your channels for hours - therapeutic indeed

[@brotherscampfire]

You are legit. Great video

[@alusionns]

hey i doubt id do this but is there a way to add more line like another foot maybe to the front just so the hook isnt like so close to the stick

[@drellz9361]

Great video bro

[@jdogg661420]

nice vid man. this video is cool, people can probably do this at any popular fishing area. it would even be cool to see this catch on as a challenge to some of the more popular guys fishing on youtube. to expose that it is possible to catch fish without a lot of money to prove you dont need a tackle warehouse in your garage to fish. or even make this video a challenge to other fisherman on youtube to try to catch one fish with no gear except a license at their spots.

Before watching this vid, going by the title, I thought it was going to be about survival, like in a deserted island trying to fish. But instead it's survival for a homeless fisherman, ideally near a jetty, trying to fish..

You could also use fibers fro a stick to clean the rust off

When I go Kayaking I always come out with tons of tackle. I've paddled out into the weeds dozens of times. and even found a lot of expensive lures and almost about 10 lbs of lead sinkers over a 6 month period.

I thought that was an awesome video! I wouldn't change much at all. I'm in Santa Cruz and usually fish from a boat but its out of commission. gonna take the kids up to pescadero this weekend. hopefully we run into you some time.

Good luck up there. Some squid should pull up some nice rockfish. Just don't get snagged too much. Good luck have fun!

[@PastorPeewee20]

Cool video if I were stuck on an island for sure! I'm thinking though if I'm on the beach of a state or another country and I decided to go fishing I'd just walk to my car go home and get my gear and go fishin?

+Richard Phan Thanks I'll try to include location for other videos. This was at Pillar Pt in Half moon bay in case you were wondering

[@dtanders78]

great walk through man! awesome mix of footage, info and dialog, perfect job. *just a suggestion, throw some beach garbage in your hook to cork it (Styrofoam, sponge etc) when your tying your line, a rusty hook in your hand or leg would suck, tetanus ain't no joke

[@FishermansLife]

+Racecarsoup!! Good tip. Wasn't thinking about that...will do! Btw, going to have a crabbing party at Baker Beach sometime early April if you can make it. Trying to gauge the interest first before making an announcement. I want to provide bait, weights, some snares, food, etc...should be fun!

[@dtanders78]

+Matts Withans let me know when, I'm down!

[@GrReaIm]

if you were in a survival situation I don't think you will find a high concentration of fishing line and hooks... You would be in a remote area where there are probably a lack of people fishing.

[@zerohedge9642]

GrReaIm : Have you watched survival shows? There is this kind of trash all over the planet. Maybe not hooks but nets, rope, bottles, all kinds of trash, everywhere.

[@travisl6654]

You can find rope on almost any island. We trashed the planet bad. As for hooks you can get away with sharpening and small stick, the less straight it is the better.

[@llllllllllllllIlIlIl]

Discarded fishing line along with other garbage washes up on even the most remote islands. As for hooks they can be made from shells or even pieces of bone.

[@zacklather7239]

I actually like you you my favorite fishing person you cool you get free stuff you don't got to buy it and use you like you good I see you know your cooking and fishing and cooking it taste good I try it is good

Fishing license is the least of your worries in a survival situation

[@garysscaryfaeries3046]

Jordan Frame occasionally ye get wrasse, or these little butt ugly rock fish that I cannot remember the name. Bigger holes often hide conger eels and that little stick and hook would be laughed at by the conger.
