Anybody got any fishing recommendations?

Standing by the shoreline or a River with a big pole in hand would certainly be like painting a bullseye on yourself, For me it's the Hunting over Trapping method. You trap and you can leave it for hours, Usually in the dark and hopefully come back to some lovely goodies after. as 00111001 says there are yo yo fishing lines, attach to a tree at night and leave it alone, the yo yo will strike when the fish bites for you. Dont forget Rivers and Streams also have a lot of American Crayfish in them, Traps are legal to use now, You can also modify them to trap fish.

Sea Fishing, You will have a lot more luck forgaing along the shoreline and rock pools, Crabs, Eels, Welks, Limpets, Muscles etc. As for bait if your gonna sea fish, depending on your quarry, start by digging up ragworm when the tide is out, you can spot these easily by the squiggly mound they leave on the surface, Smaller fish you catch use as bait for bigger fish/crabs/lobster, again my prefered method would be a Kreel ( crab/lobster trap ) again easily modified to trap fish.

Set up a few YoYos and a few traps ( Kreels ) ( both easily bought online ) and then go off and hunt your land based quarry, Bunnys, Birds, Game etc, That way your covering multiple bases at the same time. Win Win situation.
