Bear,
one way that you could use your first kit is to cut about 2 feet or so from your main line and cut this piece into 3 or 4 equal lengths. Tie a swivel and a hook onto each length. Tie one end of the main line to a sharp stick and thread the swivels onto the main line. Using your shot as stoppers position the hook lengths about 2 feet apart (depending on the width of the water), then tie the free end of the line to another sharp stick. Bait your hooks with artificial or local bait, Wade into the water if safe to do so and push the first sharp stick into the bed. Pay out your line and secure the other stick into the bank or secure with a rock, tree root etc. Leave this line out for a few hours, keep an eye on the line every now and again for security sakes. Then hopefully pull in your line full of nice plump fish for breakfast.

Hope this helps
