Efficient Fishing Method

 

A person who takes fishing as a past time to clear his/her head uses a standard fishing rod, but would it prove helpful for a fisherman? A person who goes out to the sea in the hope of catching a massive load of fishes and sells it to earn a livelihood uses a different method. Fishing nets or traps are tools made from fibers woven in a particular pattern. Although modernized fish nets are made of nylon, the old ones were made of fibrous plants. A fisherman needs to go deep in the sea where he/she suspects a sufficient amount of fish and put a net in the water to catch it.

Types of Fishing Nets

With the kind of advancements in technology and research method, how can we not have several nets for different purposes? The different types of fishing nets available in the market that people find helpful are as follows;

·     Dip Net: One might find this net in either triangular, rectangular, or square shape. It has a net set on a frame and uses a handle for scooping it up from the water. While the smaller dip nets are operated manually from a boat, the bigger ones are fixed on the shore with a bamboo stick acting as a lever.

·     Purse Net: As the name suggests, this is a rectangular-shaped net made of tanned cotton twine with a large mouth. Two flexible bamboo sticks are hinged from both lips of the mouth at a particular angle, so the operator can close it as desired. It catches fish migrating upstream, once it is lowered in the water by ropes.

·     Cast Net: It has a circular shape that looks more like an umbrella with a rope attached to the apex. The fisherman has to be careful while throwing the net in the water. He/she should throw it by holding the rope in one hand and making sure it expands after landing on the surface of the water. It is a very common method often used for catching most of the seafood we eat at restaurants.

·     Gill Net: It has a massive wall of net placed in the water by a fisherman with two ropes attached to it. The head rope has floaters, while the foo trope has sinkers. This one is cleverly made of various colors to prevent fishes from detecting it. You can put it in the water in the evening and take it out in the morning to get the entangled load.
