Handlining is a fishing method in which a line with a hook, usually baited, is lowered into the water from a drifting, anchored or moving boat or from a jetty, pier or rock on the shore overlooking the water. Handlining is just as its name implies—holding a line in the hand while waiting either actively or passively for a fish to take the bait. 1, record 2, English, - handlining

La pêche à la ligne à main est une technique consistant à mettre à l'eau une ligne garnie d'un hameçon généralement appâté; cette mise à l'eau peut se faire à partir d'un bateau ancré, dérivant ou en route aussi bien qu'à partir du rivage, d'une jetée, d'un môle ou d'un enrochement surplombant l'eau. Comme son nom l'indique, la pêche à la ligne à main revient simplement à tenir une ligne à la main tout en attendant, soit activement, soit passivement, qu'un poisson vienne mordre à l'appât. 2, record 2, French, - p%C3%AAche%20%C3%A0%20la%20ligne%20%C3%A0%20main
