„During the fool moon, tund, one must go to the woods
in the south of the island where strong winds blow and where the ground is shallow.
Trees need to be found there with curves shaped by winds and tailored
For your boat and kindly ask, I believe, pines and holly oaks and birds and crickets,
Asked should they be to forgive you for borrowing their wood for planks and ribs,
stems and sterns, decks and beams, stakes, falks and thwarts of your boat.”

There were two ways of fishing, with two types of fishnets: trata and budel. Five-member-company was fishing with budel. On gajeta, there were five pairs of these nets and one pair had 4 interconnected budels. With these fishnets, fishermen of Komiža caught the majority of sardines on their offshore posts. On fishing positions around the islands of Vis and Biševo fishnets called trata were used for hauling fish huddled up under the fishing light. Up to 20 people, on several boats, worked together with trata at the same time. These fishnets required significant financial resources.
Nowadays fishermen mostly use longlines and fish traps.
On the gajeta flakuša, you can try handling traditional fishing tools and tying traditional knots.
