This is how we fish

Fishing can be pursued in various ways, depending on the location, target species, and personal preferences. Here's an overview of some common fishing methods:

1. Angling: This is perhaps the most traditional form of fishing. It involves using a fishing rod, reel, line, and hook to catch fish. Anglers can use natural or artificial bait and can fish from shore, a pier, or a boat.

2. Trawling: Trawling involves dragging a net through the water behind a boat. This method is commonly used in commercial fishing to catch fish like cod, haddock, shrimp, and squid. Trawling can have significant environmental impacts if not managed sustainably.

3. Longlining: Longlining involves setting a long line with baited hooks. This method is often used to catch larger fish species like tuna, swordfish, and halibut. Longlining can be done in coastal waters or in the open ocean.

4. Netting: Netting is a broad category that includes various types of nets used to catch fish. Examples include gillnets, seine nets, and cast nets. Nets can be set in the water and left to catch fish passively or used actively to encircle fish.

5. Spearing: Spearing, or spearfishing, involves using a spear or similar tool to catch fish underwater. This method requires skill and is often practiced by free divers or snorkelers. It can be done in shallow or deep water and is popular among recreational and subsistence fishermen.

6. Trapping: Fishing traps are devices designed to capture fish by luring them into an enclosure from which they cannot escape. Traps can be made from various materials, such as wire mesh or woven materials, and are commonly used to catch crab, lobster, and certain species of fish.

7. Ice Fishing: Ice fishing is practiced in regions where bodies of water freeze over in winter. Anglers drill holes in the ice and fish using specialized equipment such as tip-ups, jigging rods, and ice augers. Common targets include perch, walleye, trout, and pike.

8. Fly Fishing: Fly fishing is a specialized angling method that uses a lightweight lure, or "fly," to mimic insects or other prey on the water's surface. Anglers cast the fly using a specialized fly rod and line. Fly fishing is often associated with trout and salmon fishing but can be used to catch a variety of freshwater and saltwater species.

These are just a few examples of fishing methods, and there are many others, each with its own techniques and equipment. It's important for anglers to understand and abide by local fishing regulations to ensure sustainable and responsible fishing practices.
