Dynamite or grenades attract too much attention after SHTF and waste too many fish.
I am 100 miles from the ocean. Our local fishing waters are entirely fresh water, being mostly shallow creeks and farm ponds. The logical SHTF fishing answer is a hand-cranked telephone magneto. From your row boat drop a 2-metre lngth of chain on the port side and a second chain on the starboard side. Both chains are connected to a magneto coil. Zap the water and nearby fish will be stunned for a minute and float to the surface so you can scoop them up with a dip net. Choose the best ones for dinner and throw the ones you don't need back to catch later when they grow bigger.
