To drive fish into a net by slapping the surface of the
water with a steel bar or piece of wood.
A large panti net is set out in waist-deep water and
then people walk towards the net slapping the surface of
the water with steel bars. The bars make a popping noise
which scare the fish into the net. The word lamba is
actually Cuyonon, but has been borrowed as a term for this
type of fishing. In Cuyonon it means ‘hit, slap’ and the
equivalent in Agutaynen is lampak.
