fish traps

In Oran we were bored so we came up with the idea of making fish traps out of plastic bottles.

You take a bottle of Coke, water, etc… of 1,5 l. Then you cut once below the lid and a second time 10 cm lower. After that, you take the part that you cut off and you turn it inside. Tie it all up and your trap is ready to catch fish. That is, if you have any success! For this you need to put some bait: bread, fish leftovers, meat leftovers. With which we caught 5-6 fishes, of course, small ones!

success with the home made fish traps

Lazy fishing method..

In Almerimar we bought a creel with which we caught 3 fishes, 3 whelks, 2 hermit crabs, 1 conger eel and a moray. To fish eel-like fishes you need to be very, very lucky! But this time we used a bonito head which we had frozen as bait. What a success!

We didn’t eat any of these fishes, we let them free again.
