Fishing Methods

Want to know a little a bit about fishing methods? Then you come to the right place, Welcome to this piece of writing. Today I'm going to be talking about different kinds of fishing methods but no all of them (I don’t know everything).

Dredging. Dredging normally catches fish like Scallops, oysters (fish that normally hang out at the seafloor). Dredging uses a metal cage that is sinked to the bottom of the sea floor then dragged by a boat above to catch the fish. Dredging is a really good way to fish Scallops, oysters and many more, but because of the metal teeths it damages the sea floor destroying many sea creatures homes.


Traps and pots. This is a common fishing method, This method uses a cage or a net. Carbs and cod are normally trapped by the traps. This method can damage the seafloor and abandoned traps can entangle other animals.

Another method I’m going to inform you about is gillnetting, this method uses a net wall that is set quite deep (depends). Gillnetting commonly catches Sardines, salmon and cod. Gillnetting is another effective way to fish but it also has it’s cons, one of them but most common is it catches unwanted creatures like mammals but then again you can just add gear like fingers or setting the wall deeper.

Have you heard of trolling? I think you have, well there is a method called trolling this method uses a line. Trolling catch small fishes like tuna.

Gill Netting, trolling and Dredging are all ways to catch fish but they also all catch different fish.Some methods catch the same but every method is different it its own way. If your dad is a fisherman ask him what kind or kinds of fishing method does he use?

I really liked the way you tried to engage your audience by asking rhetorical questions throughout your report. I can also see that you are starting to control the way you structure your paragraphs using the SEE structure. Well done, Tanisslous!
