Fishing Methods

Dale Vener

Dale is endorsed to use the following fishing methods to responsibly harvest local sustainable seafood:

Crab Pot

A crab pot is a type of  trap which is either circular, rectangular or square in shape, designed to catch crabs. When set, the trap lays on the ocean floor and is attached to a rope which is suspended by a float.


Gill Net

Gill netting is a technique which involves a length of netting held vertically in the water, usually suspended by a float line on the surface and leadline in contact with the seabed. Gill netting may be set for a restricted period or deployed and retrieved instantly, which is termed as a splash shot.


Rod and Reel/Handline

Standard techniques where one or more baited hooks or lures are attached to a fishing line to capture various species of fish including squid.
