“Trust your Fishing Instinct”
MECHANICS:
The class will be divided into three groups. Afterward, the
teacher will distribute printed pictures of different fishing gears
to each group. Then, the teacher will present pictures of
different commercial aquatic species one at a time, and each
group will raise the chosen fishing gear they believe is suited for
capturing the given aquatic species. The students have 5
seconds to raise their answers.

Methods in Fishing
Different fishing equipment is utilized for catching
fish and other aquatic products, with varying techniques
employed in their construction and use. Some
fishermen and their family members engage in various
methods of gear construction to supplement their
household income.
Basic Philippine Fishing

1. Passive Gear using bare hand-
method that is composed of the simplest forms
of gathering aquatic resources
a)hand picking
b)diving
2. Active Gear-
A method that depend on the psychological
reaction of fish to certain physical or chemical
properties
Mechanical stupefying
1. Hitting a fish directly with any object like
stones, clubs, hammers etc.
2. Hitting a submerged stone with another
where fish is hiding.
3. Using of dynamite detonated by a blasting
cap with a short fuse.
3. Fishing Using Miscellaneous Hand or
Grappling Instruments
- are generally used for gathering sessile or trapped animals
(panikwat)
a) Dredges – Pangahig
b) Scoops - Panalok, Bithay (Tagalog), Sihud (Sebu)
c) Pokers - Pangsundot
d) Clamps - Pang-ipit
e) Scrapers - Pangayod
4. Wounding Gear-
-gears used by man who to wound a fish from some distance either
by throwing pointed objects or using special equipment.
a) Spears a.1 Arrows
-instruments with pointed barbed or barbless
blades at the right straight tip which are not
removable from the handle and generally
thrown by hand or sometimes from a gun or
bow-like device.
4. Wounding Gear-
-gears used by man who to wound a fish from some distance either
by throwing pointed objects or using special equipment.
b) Harpoons A pointed instruments with
barbed blades detachable from
the handle and either thrown by
hand or discharged from a gun,
panibat, or pamaril.
4. Wounding Gear-
-gears used by man who to wound a fish from some distance either
by throwing pointed objects or using special equipment.
c) Fishing Rifle
-Fishing Rifle is a fishing
implement designed to launch
a spear at fish or other
underwater animals.
5. Barriers and Traps-
complete barriers made of wooden trunks,
debris, mud, weeds, banana stalks, rocks or
bamboo webbing built across the natural
migration path of fish.
5. Barriers and Traps-
a. Fish shelter - a structure made of anchored bunches of
twigs and bushes, piles of rocks or poles which become the
hiding place for fishes.
5. Barriers and Traps-
Fish coral - a guiding barrier constructed of bamboo, brush or
chicken wire which is set in tidal waters or along natural ways of
fishes.
5. Barriers and Traps-
c. Fish pots - basket-like enticing devices usually baited and
made of bamboo, chicken wire, rattan and other suitable
materials.
6. Fishing with Lines-
method of line fishing with hooks that follows
the principle of offering the fish real or
artificial bait which it tries to catch.
6. Fishing with Lines-
Handlines - long simple lines with one or small
series of hooks requiring constant attention
6. Fishing with Lines-
Multiple handline - single with line series of
barbed hooks
Jigger -
used in catching squids (kawil pangpusit)
Pole and line -
handline attached to a pole (bingwit) used with
various kinds baits (baliwasnan or bingwit)
Longlines -
extremely long lines with a large series of baited
hooks either set or drifting that requires only
periodical attention at more or less a fixed time
interval.
Longlines -
a. Set long lines – are lines anchored or fixed and
not free to move with the current.
Longlines -
b) Drift long lines - lines without fixed
attachments.
7. Falling Gear -
a type of gear that works on the principle of covering the
fish with a gear.
A. Cover pot (salakab) A.Cover Net (salakab)
8. Fish Impounding Nets
– gear usually made of woven or knitted fibers with mesh to confine the
fish
A. Filter nets – a conical bag net without funnel – shaped valves
made of sinamay cloth or cotton netting fixed shrimps, crabs, fishes etc.
8. Fish Impounding Nets
B.Fyke nets – winged conical filter nets with a series of circular hoops
leading into a closed sac or trap with a small opening that makes exit
difficult. (dayakos)
9. Scooping nets –
net that take fish by submerging a hanging net and swiftly
lifting the gear to capture or enclose the fish over it.
A. Dip nets (salap or salok) B. Crab Lift Nets (Bintol)
9. Scooping nets –
C. Blanket nets (paduyan)
10. Drive-in Gear –
a gear uses a scare line or other devices to frighten the
fish toward the net. The harvest of the fish is affected by the
lifting process of the nets.
a. Drive-in-net (kalaskas) b. Muro-ami
11.Dragged Gear –
A. Dredges – net used to collect shell fish by raking or
scratching action. (kaladkad)
11.Dragged Gear –
. Trawls – nets in the form of a conical bag with the mouth kept
open by various devices and the entire gear is towed behind a
moving boat.
12. Seine nets –
nets that consist of a bust or bag with very long wings or
towing warps. The capture of fish is done by surrounding a
certain area of water with school of fish and towing the gear
over this area with both ends to a fixed point on the shore or on
a vessel
A. Beach seine (bayakos or
pukod) B. Lampara or sahid
13. Surrounding Nets
- fishing devices made of long walls of webbings; capture of fish is by
surrounding the fish not only from the side but also from beneath.
a. Round haul seine (sapyaw) b. Purse seine (pangulong)
13. Surrounding Nets
- fishing devices made of long walls of webbings; capture of fish is by
surrounding the fish not only from the side but also from beneath.
c. Ring net (kubkob) d. Stop seine (pangulong)
Gill Nets -
simple walled curtain-like nets set vertically in water.
Gill Nets -
a. Set gill nets - are nets that anchored or fixed – largarete
patuloy, palagiang paningahan.
Gill Nets -
b. Drift gill nets - gill nets that are set free from the bottom and
free to drift with the current (panti)
Gill Nets -
c. Encircling gill net - nets spread out in a circle and gilling process is
hastened by frightening the fish with various devices mostly by noise.
(bating or halang)
15.Traps for Jumping or Flying Fishes
– a method of catching fish that it jumps,
falls back into a horizontal floating or
suspended net, raft trap, or even in an
empty boat or box (pangsiriw in Iloko).
