Depends what you're fishing for - I've tried for Black Bass, but no luck - they have these weird things called eel fish tho - you could also try for gold (bring a pan), women and trouble (combine the first two and it's a natural progression).

How do eel fish and gold make women?

He meant going with black bass and eel fish can get you in trouble. Stop being rude and sexist.

Quite simply, you leave the chossy wall alone, grab the 6'8" and paddle out...
