It depends on context. It can mean: What a terrible task, what a mess, what a lot of trouble, or it could actually be to do with fishing.

Faena , although literally ' trawling', which is a type of fishing, where the net is dragged behind the boat, the word often refers to tedious tasks, housework, manual work, that sort of thing.

Trawling in English can also refer to going out trying to pick up women, or men as the case may be.
