CONT

[A tuna] handline is a fishing gear composed of a single vertical line with one barbed hook at the distal point. [The line] must be strong enough to hold the fish and withstand the combined force of its weight, swimming power and determination to escape. Handlines can be set and hauled either manually or by [a] mechanized reel. It is operated by simply dropping the baited hook into the level of the sea where tuna are found abundant.

CONT

La ligne à main servant à pêcher le thon est un engin composé d'une seule ligne verticale garnie d'un hameçon à ardillon à son extrémité distale. [...] La ligne doit être suffisamment robuste pour tenir le poisson tout en résistant aux forces combinées de son poids, de sa puissance de nage et de ses efforts pour s'échapper. Les lignes à main peuvent être mises à l'eau et relevées manuellement ou à l'aide d'un moulinet mécanisé. Elles sont opérées en laissant simplement tomber l'hameçon appâté à la hauteur d'eau où les thons abondent.

... bottom fishing involves lowering a weighted hook or lure to the bottom of the water column.... No bottom fishing expedition would be possible without three essential items. These are the sinker, the hook, and the line.... When a good fishing rig is coupled with quality bait, you get a combination no bottom fish can ignore.

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.

CONT

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
DEF

[Type of fishing in which the] fishing gear consists of a bamboo pole, to which is attached a line having a feather or other lure with a barbless hook; alternatively bait may be used. In some cases, two men using poles connected to a common line and hook may be required for large fish. The fisherman heaves on his pole to fling the fish behind him on to the deck; as the hook is barbless the fish is disengaged automatically as the line tightens and slides forward along the sloping deck.

OBS
