Summary

Information on the fishing lines and nets that were used on Mingulay.

The Mingulay people bought in their fishing lines and nets. They would use a short line for flounders, which they ate themselves. The lines were baited with razor-fish and saithe. They would also fish from the rocks, with rods. They would use a long line for ling, cod and skate. A mesh net was used for herring.
