Garcia, Rodan R. | Asia, Facundo B.
Multiple handline fishing was carried out in payaw-deployed areas in waters off the Northwestern Ilocos coast. Three handlines with varying hook distances (50, 75, and 100 cm) attached to the mainline baited with red and silver artificial lures were used in the study. Fishing operations were done in the morning and in the afternoon. The main objective was to determine which of the artificial lures, hook distances and time of fishing oper ation are effective catch rates of handlines. Results showed that handlines with hook spacing of 100 cm, baited with red lure operated in the morning performed better in terms of catch and income. Landings of Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares, Scombridae) was highest in the landings, followed by roundscad (Decapterus macarellus, Carangidae) and Skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis, Scombridae).
