Fishing methods refer to the various techniques used to catch fish. Common methods include angling, where a hook is baited and cast into the water, and netting, which involves using nets to trap fish. Other methods include trapping, where fish are lured into confined spaces, and spearfishing, where fish are caught using a spear or harpoon. Different fishing methods can be used in various environments, such as freshwater or saltwater. Each method has its own advantages and is often chosen based on the type of fish being targeted, local regulations, and the fisher's skill level.
