- The methods by which the fish were caught in olden times were by long lines and every line had one hundred and sixty hooks. One man used to shoot them out and stretch them all in a line with buoys at each end and leave them there for two or three hours. The chief kinds of fish that were caught in this way were ling, haddock and cod. Pollock and whiting were caught by hand lines and mackerel and herrings were caught by nets. Lobster were caught by pots the same way as they are nowadays.
