			One of easiest types of fish traps is two baskets one of which has no bottom, just insert that basket into another and tie them up.

			==== Octopus trap ====
			There are various types of fishing traps, the most common and easy to build is the octopus trap which catches octopus (of course) moray eels and other various bottom feeder fish. Materials metal mesh or net or thin sticks. make a 2' by1' by 1' cuboid on one end that is 1' by '1 make an inward facing cone out of the same material of the trap body, on the other side make a door that is easily secured shut. in the inside of the trap put a smaller box of the same material (this will hold the bait. Bait to be used may vary(bread, small dead fish, fish guts, fish carcasses, smaller dead animals).


			Always make sure to secure the trap to the bank

== Fishing ==
Ways to catch fish are

Ways to fish can be: line fishing, pole fishing, net fishing, spear fishing, bow fishing, fish trapping.

All line thichness, hook size, net size and bait depend on type and size of the fish being catched

=== Line fishing ===
Line fishing revolves around personal feel for the line and strenght to pull fish to shore. A line would be tied onto a hook and bait would serve as the sinker.

=== Pole fishing ===
A fishing pole depends on mechanical strenght to make the fishing more efficient and being able to throw the bait further.

=== Net fishing ===
Nets able to catch great amounts of fish. Can be hand weaved and are effective.

==== Production ====
Through the use of weavers knot, a net can be made for most types of fish. The space in between the knots should depend on the size of the fish

=== Spear fishing ===
The spearing of a fish relies on shallow waters, patience and quick reflexes to catch fish, preferable use in river and lakes.

=== Bow fishing ===
Use of a bow to fish. A string attached to a arrow which is then pulled by hand or caribiner to retrieve the fish

=== Fish trapping ===
Traps have the ability to be left on the sea or river floor for longer periods of time and are cheap to produce. The "cage" has a door that may open only inwards, leaving any fish or crab trapped until collected

==== Production ====
