Nice one, Henry. : )
I like the Morroccan fishing boats' repetitive structures along the quay. They are almost identical each with their mast heights and curve of the hulls. Good photo angle too.
Thanks for sharing,

Fabulous fishing shots continue - thanks to everyone for brightening dull work days with some great pics. (I should have known I would eat my words about hand cast nets! Everyone has shots of this .)

Re: Fishing for fish
Here are some fishing boats in Japan in 1988.
Notice the glass floats hanging from the boats. I don't think they are used anymore though. I haven't seen them for years.

Re: Fishing for fish
Yes Henry, I think since the advent of plastic floats the use of the glass ones has disappeared for the long liners, we had one here for years that we found on the beach, it had a cleverly made heavy gauge rope mesh over the outside probably to stop it getting broken when they got bumped in use in and out of the boat, I remember when I was a bit younger it wasn’t unusual to find one washed up on the beach. Someone eventually took a liking to the one we had kept around as a novelty so we gave it away and I don’t think I ever took a photo of it either.
The Indian fishing photo is interesting gio67 but I’m not sure I know what they are doing exactly, it looks like a net but I can’t see any floats or lead line so it’s a bit confusing.

Re: Fishing for fish
That´s a very nice one again. What happened to the floats, what replaced them? Don´t tell me plastic!bakubo wrote:Here are some fishing boats in Japan in 1988.

every tide they row out with the nets in a big semi circle probably about 150/200 mtrs and 50 mtrs wide then bring the other end in again, the men on the shore pull each end until the net is in, they always catch a lot of fish,theres maybe about 100 men involved
Re: Fishing for fish
gio67, cool photo. It seems like maybe I saw this one before. Did you post it in another thread one time?
Greg, great photo of your brother with the huge fish!

Re: Fishing for fish
Not much fishing tackle in sight there Henry, looks like the chair could be in trouble as well.

Re: Fishing for fish
He had a fishing pole stuck in the ground a few feet away with a line in the water. It was a very, very passive form of fishing. Lots more contemplating the universe, the dragonflies, and probably what's for dinner tonight? than serious fishin'.Greg Beetham wrote:Not much fishing tackle in sight there Henry, looks like the chair could be in trouble as well.

Cute, Henry.
He does appear as tough he'll soon be part of the swampy ground from thsi angle... : ) A philosphical passing of time indeed.

Two creel boats in Loch Beag by Struan. One resting from fishing, and one heading off to sea.
