Abstract
Fishing hooks and lines are among the simplest of fishing gear. Hooks and lines make it possible to fish in places with rocky and uneven bottom, where it is impossible to deploy the most powerful fishing gear, the seine and the trawl. Hook and line fishing also ensure high quality of catch as the fishes are caught individually. The operations of hook and line fishing are discussed in this paper.
