What are the traps? They are cages that allow the fish go into but it cannot go out thanks to the funnel
type exit How using them? In every ship it is often use 350 traps (aprox.). they are in rows of 75
traps,
formin "caceas"
In every “cacea” the traps are fastened by a "mother rope" and there is a
distance of 4 or 5 fathoms among them (according to the depth) The bait used to be: sardines, mackerel, and other fishes. The bait is put into a plastic net bag.
This is placed into every trap. Finally the trap is thrown into the sea with a
bottle at the beginnig and at the end of every "cacea".the cacea is
left for one or two days in the water. When you pick up it, you take the fishing and change the bait and so on
