raft fishing

raft fishing
1) rafts floating on the water surface where fish become stranded. The fish may try to jump over them on moon-lit nights or fish may be scared towards the raft by noise from boats. A series of connected rafts may be used to encircle a school of fish which is then driven towards the rafts. Some rafts have nets hanging down from their edge to discourage fish from swimming under them
2) rafts constructed in open water to attract schools of such fishes as tuna so as to make them easier to catch by their concentration
