Fishing using a single fishing line that is held in the hands is known as handline fishing. One or more hooks with baits are attached to the line along with a float or a weight. Known for being one of the oldest methods of fishing, handline fishing is still commonly used, especially in Maldives. The line is usually moved up and down very close to the floor of the sea, luring in fish who will then try to eat the bait and get caught. Handlining is much often used to catch fish such as squid, groundfish and pelagic fish. Handline fishing can be carried out from a dhoni, whilst marvelling at the captivating sunset and is a great leisure activity for holiday makers. Anantara Veli, Maldives is an excellent Maldives resort ideal for those in search of Maldives bungalows.
