Hi Mike: I know a few guys that still handline, but they havn't been out the last couple of years. There hasn't been but a few caught because we have been haveing bait problems. What bait there was was wiped out by the pair trawlers on Jeffries and Platts in July, I was there and saw it first hand!! Not a pretty site to see All that ground fish(Cod, Haddock, Whiting, Pollock etc.) Just culled over the side as bycatch. So much for Mid Water nets. OOPS! Off tract!! Yeah most guys now use rod & reel. If you can afford the gear it is a lot safer!!. If you handline you know what I'm talking about. .
For the most part the older guys are giving up or dying off and that way of life is going with them.

:( I don't even know what handlining is, but I don't like the sound of the old ways going away.
