Involved small vessels locally, either single-handed
or two people.
A long line is a long line with 10-50
hooks attached to it - length of line depends on type of fish
being targeted. Hooks are baited with either sand eels or
small mackerel or sprat cut into strips. Fish caught by this
method range from bottom-feeders such as skate and turbot
through to swimming fish such as cod and bass. This is an
old method of fishing and is not frequently used unless specifically
targetting valuable species such as turbot, brill and bass.
This form of fishing is basic and inexpensive and, although
popular in the past, is rarely used in this day and age, except
in certain areas like the Shambles Bank, the Adamant Shoal
and Kidney Bank off Portland.
