Trolling Techniques for
the Pacific Islands
A Manual for Fishermen
by G. Preston, P. Mead,
L. Chapman and P. Taumaia
This manual has been written to help Pacific Island fishermen
improve their fishing success when trolling, particularly in a commercial or
semi-commercial situation. The information it contains has been compiled from
the discussions and written records of the South Pacific Commission's fisheries
development staff. These officers have a combined experience of over 40 years
in fishing and training fishermen in Pacific Island countries.
The manual is intended to act as a guide to the basics of good trolling, for
use by interested individual. However, a major aim of the manual is also to
be useful in supplementing the formal training activities carried out by the
South Pacific Commission and by national fisheries development agencies and
extension officers. We have therefore tried to present as much information as
possible in a visual form, for the benefit of the many Pacific Islanders whose
first language is not English. For the same reason, the text has been kept as
simple and non-technical as possible.
