Trammel fishing

Experience unique fishing techniques with specialized nets and boats that operate at sunset, offering a glimpse into local traditions and marine life.
THE EQUIPMENT: Consists of three nets, with much larger mesh in the middle net. There are floats on the head rope and weights on the bottom rope to keep the net vertical. At one end of the net you will find buoys to indicate the edge and an anchor is attached to the other end to avoid drifting. THE TECHNIQUE: The height and length of the nets can vary and have different size netting depending on the type of fishing and the species being caught. The boats leave in the afternoon to set the nets and return to collect them early in the morning.
