        The taragao is a kind of fishing that we do when we are going to fish mackerels. This is how this kind of fishing works: We tie three or four hooks together so that they are just like one hook. After we have tied it up, we tie it to a string. When we go fishing, we board a canoe and then go floating where the school of mackerels is sitting. We throw the hook in the middle of the place where the mackerels are sitting and wait for them to gather above the hook. When we see that they have gathered above the hook, we fling up the string, so that the hook spears the mackerels. We can pull up two or three mackerels.

        Today, we catch it (the spinefoot) with a plastic line, when we fix a bait of sweet potato on the taragao hook.
