In terms of sport fishing, a lure is an object attached to the end of the fishing line and designed to resemble and move like an item of fish prey. Lures are equipped with one or more single,double, or treble hooks that are used to hook fish when they attack the lure. Motion is imparted to lures by winding line back on to a reel, by sweeping, jigging movements with a fishing rod, or by being pulled behind a moving boat (”trolling“). An exception is fly lures, commonly called “flies” by fishermen, which either float on the water surface, slowly sink or float underwater, and are based on real behavior of insect being resembled.

Lures are usually used on a fishing rod and fishing reel outfit. When a lure is used for casting, it is continually cast out and sometimes retrieved, the retrieve making the lure swim. A skilled fishermen can explore many possible hiding places for fish through lure casting.

There are many types of fishing lures:

• jig
• wobbler
• surface lures
• spoon lures
• plugs (fishing)
• fly lures
• Texas Rigs
• Mormyshka
• Trout worms
• Bass worms
• Spinnerbait
• Crankbait
• Swimbait

An ice stream is a region of an ice sheet that moves significantly faster than the surrounding ice. Ice streams are significant features of the Antarctic where they account for 10% of the volume of the ice. They are up to 50 km wide and 2 km thick. They stretch for hundreds of kilometres and account for most of the ice leaving the ice sheet, and entering the ice shelf.

The speed of the ice in the ice stream can be 1,000 meters per year, an order of magnitude faster than the surrounding ice. The shear forces at the edge of the ice stream causes deformation and recrystallization of the ice from hard glacial ice to a softer and more brittle form. Crevasses form particularly around the shear margins.

The causes of ice streams vary, though most are associated with sub-ice water streams, which lubricate the ice flow. The type of bedrock also is significant. Soft, plastic sediments result in the fastest flow.

The Agulhas Bank is known as the best fishing ground in South Africa. It is located off Cape Agulhas.

It is the ocean region where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet. This convergence leads to treacherous sailing conditions, and also fuels the nutrient cycle for marine life.

Handlining is one of the oldest forms of fishing and is still common. The method consists of a single fishing line with a weight and one or more lure-like hooks are attached. The line is jigged or moved up and down in a series of short movements, most often close to the sea floor. The motion attracts the fish, which are normally caught while trying to eat the lure but also as they move close to the jigged lure. The line is then hauled onboard and the fish removed. Handlining are most often used to catch groundfish and squid but also other species are sometimes caught, including pelagic zone species.
