Fishing TechniquesDrop LineThis fishery was very much pioneered by our own company when, in 1977, our fast fishing vessel the Melicent, was the first vessel to fish year round for Blue Eye Trevalla. We developed the type of gear used and the method of setting it, and the main grounds in the South East of the state were found by Martin Beck and George Mure, the two skippers of the vessel at that time. Drop line fish are usually brought back in first class condition, as they have not been crushed or damaged in a net. Vessels operate from one to four days away from port and while at sea the fish are gutted and bled before being placed in a salt water ice slurry and then chilled to 0°C prior to being packed in sea ice. Long LineThe Mures fishing vessels the Diana and the Kiella are dedicated auto long line boats set up for demersal fishing. The gear targets Pink Ling and Blue Eye Trevalla other species caught include Shark, Ocean Perch and Ribaldo Cod. While at sea the fish are gutted and bled before being placed in a saltwater ice slurry, chilled to 0°C before being packed in sea ice giving a top quality product.
