no bites for the net? it seems everyone favours their chances with a
line, but how many professional fishermen do it this way (i mean guys
who make their living selling fish every day at the markets etc). do
you really think you can catch enough fish with just a line and lure to
live off indefintely? any specific weight of line? anyone prefer a
wire leader?

IMHO the surest way to survive would be to bring along a very fine mesh
net (a nylon stocking will do) and pull in plankton. It's yucky, but
it'll keep you alive. Drinking water is a bigger problem, which can be
addressed by either a solar still or a hand-pump RO unit.
