Fishing Methods

• Oceans 11

Lobster Traps

• A lobster first enters the trap.
• After successfully entering through one of these
  doors the lobster enters the kitchen where the
  bait is tied.
• When a lobster tries to escape from the kitchen
  it is led through another door into the parlor.
• Small vents in the parlor allow undersize
  lobsters to escape, but larger lobsters are stuck
  there to await their fate.

3
Jigging

• Jigging is a common tactic for many species that
  spend some or all of their lives in relatively
  shallow salt water.
• Once the jig is cast, anglers normally allow the
  jig to flutter naturally to the bottom.
• it should be kept in motion during the retrieve,
  whether in an up-and-down jigging motion or slow,
  steady swimming motion.

Oyster Tonging

• Hand tonging is hard, slow work.
• Sometimes each "lick" of the tongs brings up only
  a few oysters.
• Most of the oyster harvest from the Chesapeake is
  taken with hand tongs.

5
Gill Nets

• The nets are used mainly by fishing fleets from
  Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, to catch squid,
  salmon and tuna in the North and South Pacific,
  Indian and Atlantic Oceans.
• The nets are often put into the sea at night,
  where they drift with the current, catching and
  killing anything that gets in their way.
• In December 1989 the United Nations recommended
  that all drift/gill net fishing be phased out by
  1992.

Long Lining

• Deep-sea long-liners  are big, able boats ranging
  from 50 ft to more than 100 ft in length.
• The long-liner operates by setting lines many
  hundreds of meters in length, anchored and buoyed
  at each end, with shorter lines and baited hooks
  tied to the main lines.
• Bottom fish (cod, haddock, halibut) and pelagic
  fish (swordfish, tuna, shark) are caught on long
  lines.

Bottom Trawling

• The net is held open by a solid metal beam,
  attached to two "shoes", which are solid metal
  plates, welded to the ends of the beam, which
  slide over and disturb the seabed.
• This method is mainly used on smaller vessels,
  fishing for flatfish or prawns, relatively close
  inshore.
