| Sep 26, 2018 at 18:36 | comment | added | paparazzo | @Aaron In my first comment I stated right gear for that fish. The question was changed basic set. I think this question is still too broad. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 18:32 | comment | added | Loduwijk | @paparazzo If you know that for a fact, that a casual or hobby fisherman with a basic set of equipment cannot catch fish from the ocean, and that improvised gear definitely cannot do so, then that is a valid answer to the question. Especially if you can provide evidence or citations supporting that claim. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 18:25 | comment | added | paparazzo | @Aaron You are not going to bring in fish you find out in the ocean with cheap or improvised gear. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 17:26 | comment | added | Loduwijk | Despite my previous comment, I would like to point out that the news articles which prompted the recent "adrift at sea" questions was about a boy who survived 49 days at sea on fish, but his raft was actually part of a commercial fishing operation and accidentally detached from it, so the boy was adrift on a commercial fishing vessel even if of a primitive nature. So that event does not work here. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 17:09 | comment | added | James Jenkins | I voted to leave this open, it seems reasonable to assume that a general statement about, presence of fish in the ocean can be provided, even if that statement only explains why it not practical to give a general answer. | |
| Sep 26, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | Loduwijk | To commenters and close voters: Please take notice of the tags and the scenario and think within the likely context. The drifter likely has no commercial or professional fishing equipment, but probably either has or can improvise some simple equipment whether that be a rod or something else. Catching fish is a highly variable thing even for professionals, yes, but it is still consistent enough to say "You should be able to catch something" or "With a cheap rod or improvised gear, you might get something, but definitely not enough to stave off hunger" | |

| Sep 26, 2018 at 16:30 | comment | added | Jan | You need to catch only a fish or two, which can be good for food, but possibly not as a water source as explained in the other place you linked. How likely - that's a rhetorical question. | |
