Fishing from a yacht

Hi chaps,
I'm sailor and not really a fisherman. Some years ago I was with a
bloke on a Yacht, he had a bit of wood about 9 inches by 3 inches that
he towed behind the boat. The wood was rigged so that it was held below
the surface untill a fish grabbed it, this caused it to trip and then
it rose to the surface. I had never seen one before and have never seen
one since
I am doing a crossing from the West Indies to the Med and thru to the
Adriatic and some nice fresh fish would supplimennt the rations, anyone
got any designs one of these.
Thanks
Jeff


Only time I've ever seen these used was on a mackerel fishing/pleasure trip
from one of the Cornish ports many years ago. They don't seem to use them
these days.

Still see them off St Ives sometimes.
