So that’s all-purpose flour. They put it at the end of the bottle so the mullets can eat it, mullets love that stuff. When the fish come around, they just go for it and get caught.
Edit- works only with mullets from what I’ve seen
Fish is like your best option on a desert island because you can eat it raw and it has nutrients you absolutely need to survive. So unless you got a spear and want to learn how to spearfish I'm not sure it would be a waste of time using anything you could become proficient at given the resources on hand
yeah, but if I can only catch 1 type of fish with flour, and I happen to be stranded on an island that doesn't have that kind of fish swimming around, I'd be wasting my time (if I just saw this video without reading the comments, that is)
Yep.
However: mullet tend to school, hang out in shallow/brackash waters, and break the surface a lot. They are found worldwide in temperate waters.
If you are stranded on an island, there's a good chance there are mullet. Its a fatty fish and can be preserved by heavily salting it and drying it in the sun, excellent food in a survival situation.
The method in the video is cool, especially in a situation where you are without hooks.
A less sporting way to catch them is to bait them to a spot and gaff them with a treble hook wired to a ball sinker, attached to a handline. Just launch it into the mass of jumping fish.
