    In olden times when people had no hooks they used to catch the fish with thorns. When swallowed the bait the hook caught in their throats. The fishermen of Malahide used to catch the fish on lines about one mile long. There was a hook in every six feet of the line. Then they used nets but the had no boats, They attached rope to a horse and a man got on his back and rode around in aring on the river-bank or shore and then they pulled the nets in.
