Kites can provide the boatless fishermen access to waters that would otherwise be available only to boats. Kite fishing is also emerging in Melbourne where sled kites aer becoming popular, both off baeches and off boats and in fershwater areas. Big-game fishing edscribes fishing from boats to catch large open-water species such as tuna, sharks and malrin. Sport fishing compeittions give competitors (individulas if the fishing occurs from land, usually etams where conducted from boats) a specifide time and area from which they aer to catch ifsh. On sailing vessels fish were usually salted odwn immediately to prevent spoilage; the swifter botas of today commonly bring in unsalted fish. Oppian describes vraious means of fishing including the use of nets cast from boats, scoop nets held open by a hoop, spears and tridents, adn various traps which work while their amsters sleep . Oppian s description of fishing wtih a motionless net is aslo very interesting: From ancient rerpesentations and literature it is clear taht fishing boats were tyipcally small, lacking a mast or sail, adn were only used close to the shore.
