They lay also certaine Weelyes in the Sea,
for taking of Cunners, which therethrough are termed Cunner-pots.
Another net they haue long and narrow meashed, thwarted with little
cords of wide distance, in which the fish intangleth it selfe, and
is so drawne vp.
For Bait they vse Barne, Pilcherd, and Lugges. The Lugge is a worme
resembling the Tagworme or Angle-touch, and lying in the Ose
somewhat deepe, from whence the women digge them vp, and sell them
to the Fishermen: They are descried by their working ouer head, as
the Tagworme. And, for lacke of other prouision, the Fishermen
sometimes cut out a peece of the new taken Hake, neere his tayle,
and therewith baite their hookes, to surprise more of his
Canniballian fellowes.
The Seale, or Soyle, is in making and growth, not vnlike a Pigge,
vgly faced, and footed like a Moldwarp; he delighteth in musike,
or any lowd noise, and thereby is trained to approach neere the
shore, and to shew himselfe almost wholly aboue water. They also
come on land, and lie sleeping in holes of the Cliffe, but are now
and then waked with the deadly greeting of a bullet in their sides.
