English | English Shows various techniques used by the people of the Gilbert Islands to fish: one man pegs his fishing lines to the shore of the lagoon on Nonouti and returns later to retrieve the catch; one man sits on a gangway near a rocky bank of Nonouti and uses mussel bait to catch fish, which he kills with a bite to the head; a man cuts his fishing rod from wood in the bush, catches small fish and hermit crabs as bait, and then angles successfully in the crevices of the reef; and in the open sea near Onotoa a man in a sailboat catches flying fish with coconut meat as bait. |
