I live fairly close to the sea, and can see one of the best salmon rivers from my house, so fishing has always been an option for me. In difficult times I wouldn't bother with the usual rod and line methods, I will put out a long length of nylon strimmer line ( like monofilament fishing line but 3mm thick ) with as many small lines / hooks on as possible. I plan to fit "eyes" to the thick line and have the short lines on clips, to avoid horrible tangles when trying to move it - especially in the dark. I'll need an offshore wind to pull out a large float / buoy with my main line attached.
