Ok i'm not going to defend the ethics or even if u call it fishing, but this is what we used to do when i was about 13/14...
On any stretch of water with little or no current, (dams work better especially if u have a canoe, otherwise ur going to swim a lot). We used to fish like this in a little river in the freestate above a "keerwal" when the river wasnt flowing.
Take a 2l bottle, and tie 1mm maxima about 1 metre. Put a 1 ounce sliding sinker on. attach swivel and another 30cm 1mm maxima. Attach 9/0 or 10/0 hook.
Bait of preference. I used small birds most of the time but carp head works well too.
Throw entire contrapsion into the water and let it drift with the wind on the piece of water ur fishing. Go about ur normal business. In a short while u'll see the back end of a 2 litre coke bottle come bobbing past. If the beastie is really big he'll pull the bottle clean under for stretches and even break/cut u off. Let him tire for a while then either jump in or row out, grab the bottle and lift the whiska out... The small ones never take the bottles for the record.
In this little river there was 1 fella in particular that busted us up a couple of times by draggin the bottle into the reeds and into fallen down trees. I watched him pull a 2 litre bottle down and swim at least 20 metres before showing it again. Flashes of JAWS come to mind....
Anycase a good way to have some fun if the wind isnt blowing and the fish arnt biting.
