Question
Describe drifting as a method of fishing.
Answer
- The net is placed vertically to hang it in water.
- The net is fitted with floats on the upper edge and weights below and then placed a few meters below the water and pulled by powerful boats called drifters.
- When fish swim into the net they are entangled by their gills and cannot get out of the net.
- Once enough fish are caught the net is hauled onto the boat and fish is removed.
