Fishing with Sodium

Fishing with Sodium

by Quad

First, set up a normal fishing pole, or line like you normally do. Then on the line, have sinker tied, then below that a small container, like a vile, or film canister. Have it so the opening would be facing down, while holding the line suspended in water. Make sure that the casing does not have any holes, and will not allow any water to enter. Next, have another piece of fishing line connected to the lid, or stopper, depending one what you used. There are endless amounts of ways on how to do this; find your own way, that won't puncture the casing. At the end of the line connected to the stopper, put a normal fishing hook, and bait it with anything that won't move too much. I suggest you don't use minnows. Next, get some sodium and put it into the casing, and put the lid on.

When you put this in the water, do it SLOWLY. When a fish comes by, he may so much as just toy with the bait, then the top pops off, the sodium falls out, and you have an underwater explosion. The shockwave from the explosion will most likely knock the fish unconscious and cause it to float to the top. Get the net, and bring it in.

The explosion will produce a small wave at the surface of the water, and you probably won't be able to hear anything at all. This, however, depends on how deep you're fishing.

If you need to get Sodium, just heat some Table Salt (NaCl). Make sure you do this in an open area, and try not to stand near it. Doing this not only produces Sodium, but also Chlorine gas, which will kill you if you breathe in enough of it.
