find a dock, preferably w/ lights. use a couple or three tiny hooks(size 8 or smaller). a sabiki will work. start fishing. it's pretty basic. some people jig the rod/some just let it sit. work the entire water colum and find where they are at. use a lightest rod you own. grass shrimp are best but worms will work. if you get lucky the mackeral will show up. it's fun bare bones fishing. up in maine they set up sheds w/ stoves on the estuaries and you fish through the ice.

work sucked the next day though, except that I had some little tiny fish to hide in a co-workers car that had pissed me off the day before......and it was cooking in that hut, next time I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt
