This is an off boat fishing method, which can be praticed either along the coastline or at a depth between 25m up to 80m. For getting the best results you have to stop the boat over reefs and rock formations or wrecks. The lure, consisting of pieces of sardine or shrimp is lowered to the sea bottom. Therefore, this technique is used usually to fish razorfish, sole fish and weever.
Surface/bottom Trolling
... means, that the lure is dragged behind the moving boat to stimulate the aggressiveness of predators like tuna, dorado or amberjack. Often they do not bite because they are hungry, but due to their instinctual behaviour and aggressiveness.
Longline fishing
Between two buoys that are ancored, you stretch a fishing line which can be up to 1.000m long. After every five metres you fix a hook. This line can be laied out as well at the surface (to fish for swordfish, tuna or dorado) as at the sea bottom (to fish for jewfish and bream). Lures for this fishing technique are sardine at the surface and calamary at the bottom.
light drifting
... is a special technique to get the fish, which is already at the hook, onboard as fast as possible. You especially use light drifting to fish above a reef and between rock formations to avoid a rupture of the fishing line by fish who try to hide under rocks. To gain good results you have to use living lures.
Spinning
Below swimming items like buoys you often find dorado. The best technique to capture them is the spinning – which means that you cast an artificial and reflecting minnow and reel it in immediately.
Fishing nets and bow nets
For professional fishing with nets we use drift nets, which are not anchored, but drifting with the current. Normally the nets will be put in the water in the late afternoon and reeled the next morning.
Bow nets or fish traps instead, will last for more time in the water. They are traps with some bait inside, that allow the fish to enter, but not to get out again.
