Land & Sea: From 1983, Longliners on the Labrador

[@NickPenlee]

Yes, these aren't long-liners. Long lining is essentially where you've got a long rope/line (possibly 2-3 miles in length), with a metre long strop every few feet along the rope with a baited 4inch hook on the end. No, these fishermen are definately gill-netters.
