i would have some sort of fishing gear on the idea that something is better that nothing in a survival sitution..
and you not going to be doing any hard core fishing,working the break line and all that,you just want to get a bait of some sort where a fish might find it and not waste time and energy searching for "hot spots"..a big hook tied to a pole or a sharp stick to spear a carp would be better than trying real fishing--anyway thats my take on the subject..
