About a year ago, I knew I had to do something about not having any fishing gear. I used to have it, but a step-son took it when my husband died as it was in the house my husband had, and I didn't raise a problem about that. So, I had nothing.
I bought a Shakespeare rod/reel (ladies set with pink on it) with some tackle and box included and I stuck it in a closet. It's still in that hard plastic wrap. My son was here helping me clean out some stuff and found that rod/reel. He looked at me and I told him every person needed to have that and I had none until I got that. He remembered the old rods/reels and equipment. There is a lake here about 5-6 miles from me. I don't have a fishing license but in a SHTF situation, I doubt anyone would be checking and if they did, as Hillary said, “What does it matter?” Put me in jail and they have to feed me.
Old Sarge lives in Florida. I'll bet you have gobs of fishing equipment.
Johnny, is there a body of water near you that has fish?

We have some fishing gear. The grandparents used to take our kids fishing, but we really don’t have much around here where we live, except for privately owned and stocked ponds.
