Weever (Echiichthys Vipera), is most often caught as bycatch with fairly standard gear. Commonly found in sandy, muddy and light shingle seabed, they bury themselves in the sand near the shore, making them more prompt to be caught. Not usually the first choice of catch for anglers as it is a rare venomous fish, the weever is almost always caught as bycatch as it will bite onto any bait or lure. However, to intentionally catch a weever competitive fishing, practically any setup will do. As small fish, they do not put up much of a fight; a light rob will do. As much as not having strength, they will rattle and move fast once they take the bait and still fight. Due to its stinging nature, using a fishing net will be safer as the most crucial part is once the weever is caught. Once caught, it is essential not to get stung by the weever. To release it back into the water, it is crucial to either use a plier or have a set of heavy-duty gloves to remove the hook straight from its mouth and avoid its venom. If stung, going to the hospital should be the first call. However, the venom is neutralised by heat, finding a source of heat and applying it onto the stung area.
