TODAYS Catch.. Yummo

 Todays Catch..  

Well I am sure that you have worked by the pics now that we are not in Australia Fishing..

We have just got back home from 15 days in India and these photos were taken towards the southern end around Kochi and Allepy.

To say it was an eye opener to how they catch and store the fish is an understatement..

Below is a couple of photos as to the methods used, and the one that I couldnt beleive the little foam boat with home made paddle, where a bloke sits on the front of it and 250mtrs nett in a bundle behind him and then proceeds to paddle out between 3 to 5 kilometers to set it.. How they retreive this 250mtrs of nett from this piece of foam and keep it all together.. Who friggin knows as it wasnt a pretty day out on the water..

The other method is a Chinese method of a nett on a fixed pivot.. See photo.. They pull and reset this type of nett about every 5 minutes..
