I don't remember what I did with it (it was late at night when I played) but what I DIDN'T do with it was fish. Now, I'm fishless and boatless. Where can I find these, especially since I've already untied the boat and I don't think I retied it anywhere?

I think you can find what you need for the guard at the farm. fishing doesn't have to be done from a boat, right ? just takes patience. hope this helps
