Fishing by hand

[Boanerges]

Is there anyone here that can snag a fish by the lip and pull it from the water? If there is would you share the technique?

This is a quick how to in handline fishing with the yoyito handline reel. I was using a double hook dropshot with two #6 hooks and 1/2 oz. bank sinker on a 20lbs clear mono line. This knot is of my own design and I've been using it with great success for about six years. I prefer it over the dropper loop rig, because it is easier to do and stronger. For bait I used dead frozen shrimp and I take you step by step on how to locate fish, set up the rig and catch a variaty of fish. This is something I typically do after work before I get home. This is just one of the ways you can use the pocket size yoyito handline reel when you just want to catch a few fish quickly and you are not targeting anything specific. It's also a great way to put some food on the table in a survival situation. Do check your local regulations before you decide to keep any fish and make sure you are allowed to fish any given location.

Is this something you do in the Mediterranean or in the Oued el Harrach?

Who can fish by hand ?

Well, catching a fish by the lip is one thing but catching a turkey by the lip is darn near impossible. They don't have any. But, then you should know that living there.

We just look at it as a target rich environment.
