Hey, back then the Greeks were all about those big nets and the Vikings had their spears, but it was mostly the same idea—cast a wide net, wait for the catch, then pull it in. I use a line and a little bait because it’s simple, and the fish are more likely to bite if you’re patient. So in the end, both ways work; it’s just a matter of how much you’re willing to spend time and how careful you are. If you’re looking for efficiency, line and bait keeps the fish and the fisherman both happy.
