Only with a commercial license. Our fish are only bait sized for you down in Texas, just 100 pound range....

No net yet, I want to concentrate on getting out there first....

sir smithlabs! how do you use a net, do you have to have a boat?

You can use it from shore, but I have a pontoon boat, a canoe, and another design I have yet to assemble.

Got it covered, if the SHTF, the canoe with a outrigger and a sail and a center board, will be the primary boat.

I have trotlines, Yo-Yos, bank lines, and poles. Fish traps and nets will be added if things crash. I will preserve by smoking and drying, with some pressure canned too. Enough volume is intended to make barter possible.

I will raise Tilapia in the Aquaponics systems.

:)

oh I forgot about the aquaponics system, yes so you'll have that working for you too. Your canoe is going to be the primary boat? isn't that a little small to be the primary boat? Why do you have all that water craft, you've always done alot of fishing? I figured you'd just through some dynamite in!

The Aquaponics will be my primary source for everything. Preserved food from the regular garden will be the fall back. The lake will back up that.

The canoe needs no power, and is the largest boat that will handle well, with one Man. They sail decently with an outrigger too.

I like to fish, but haven't been able to much lately.

what happens when every person in the area is fishing and all the fish get caught?

ROFLOL! You must not have looked at Keystone lake....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_Lake

It is v shaped southern leg is the Cimmaron River, and the Northern leg is the Salt fork of the Arkansas River. If you straightened them out, the combined length will be over 80 miles long!

I don't think the fish will run out, I have pulled 35 pounder fish out of this lake myself. Fish over 125 pounds have been caught recently from there. That is a lot of fish to eat, or to smoke, then eat, :)

There are a lot of feeder streams which is where I would put the net....

sir smithlabs! well I just figured if there was a collapse and all commerce stopped then you'd have hundreds of people trying to fish there right? just trying to think ahead like you are but you are also going to raise your own so hopefully it wouldn't make such a difference to you.
This is all for your grandkids or their kids anyway because we aren't going to have a meltdown like this in our lifetime, you realize that right? lol..that's my opinion but I have nothing to base it on. I hope I'm right. Mrs. J scoffs at me whenever I want to prepare or prepp. lol.

Keystone Lake
Keystone Lake is a reservoir in northeastern Oklahoma on the Arkansas and Cimarron rivers. It is located upstream about 23 miles (37 km) from Tulsa. It was created in 1968 when the Keystone Dam was completed. The primary purposes are: flood control, hydroelectric power generation, wildlife management and recreation.
