Fishing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is the activity of hunting for fish. By extension, the term fishing is also applied to hunting for other aquatic animals such as various types of shellfish as well as squid, octopus, turtles, frogs and some edible marine invertebrates. The term fishing is not usually applied to the hunting of aquatic mammals such as whales. Fishing is an ancient and worldwide practice with various techniques and traditions and it has been transformed by modern technological developments. It has even became a sport of some account.

Types of fishing include:
Fly Fishing - It consists in using artificial bait called fly, made out of animal feathers or hair. This type of fishing is done in shallow clear waters, reaching even 1 foot deep. Light graphite rods and boats specially modified for shallow waters are used. This kind of fishing can be done in sea, lakes, lagoons or rivers.
Spinning or Light Tackle - It is done in waters with an average depth of 9 feet. Very resistant graphite or polycarbonate rods are required. Lures and baits tend to be bigger and brighter. Reels contain up to 300 yards of line. This type of fishing can be done in the sea, lakes, lagoon and rivers.
Bottom Fishing - Bottom fishing is done in deep waters where the boat anchors. An extra weight is added to the hook so it descends without problems. Lures are usually small fish imitations. A lot of patience is required to catch a good size fish.
Deep Sea Fishing - In this type of fishing more equipment is required, including some devices to facilitate the fish schools location, different resistance and flexibility rods and, of course, a larger amount of line. Lures are the biggest among all types of fishing and they are displayed in multiple hooks so they look like a fish school. Sometimes real bait is used instead of lures.
For deep sea are two types of fishing techniques, and one or the other is chosen according to the fish school location:
Trolling consists in keeping the boat at constant 6 knots speed. Lines are carried not very deep.
Bottom Fishing is when the boat stops in deep waters. Hooks are charged with downriggers, lead lures that make the line go down 200 feet quickly.
