Drag in fishing is a traditional fishing method practiced in various coastal regions of Pakistan. This technique involves using a large net that is dragged along the seabed to catch fish and other marine organisms.
In Pakistani coastal communities, drag fishing has been part of the local culture for generations. Fishermen in areas like Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara have perfected this method over centuries, passing down knowledge from fathers to sons.
The practice involves teamwork and coordination among fishermen. They typically use wooden boats and manually operated nets, maintaining the traditional approach despite modern fishing technologies being available.
Drag fishing in Pakistan is closely tied to the monsoon seasons. Fishermen follow traditional weather prediction methods and lunar cycles to determine the best times for fishing expeditions.
Local communities have developed sustainable practices around drag fishing, ensuring that marine resources are not depleted. They observe closed seasons and avoid fishing in breeding areas during specific periods.
The catch from drag fishing provides livelihood for thousands of families along Pakistan\“s coastline. The fresh seafood is sold in local markets and also supplies restaurants throughout the country.
Traditional drag fishing ceremonies and rituals are still observed in many fishing villages. These cultural practices include blessings for safe voyages and successful catches, reflecting the deep spiritual connection between the fishermen and the sea. |
