In the opening credits, since both fishing rods have bobbers on the ends, my guess is Andy had a jar of salmon eggs, a small can of corn, marshmallows, or even 'a dab of cheese and a slice of onion' (What Gomer uses when he fishes for trout with Birdie Blush). The fact that they have bobbers lends itself to 'real' bait, not fake, as real-food bait needs to sit there, be noticed and eaten, thus the bobber indicating a 'fish on'. Fake baits, spinners, crank baits, etc would not be used with a bobber. There's a bunch of stuff you could fish with that would fit easily into Andy's front pocket.
Lots of luck to you and yours!
