Fishing diary

Suddenly Kotetsu catches. Next and next. The fish only hangs on her needle. "What is happening" The ferry and I caught 3-4, but today's Kotetsu is invincible. The stone fishing method is also quite interesting. Kotetsu, who caught 11 fish for 2 hours, is the winner. Hurry to the harbor before the waves get higher.

December on the island is the tuna season. You can eat tuna in the South Pacific. I was taken to the harbor by the driver Ferry Munyo. Encountered the landing of tuna at the right time. lucky!

The mechanism uses chicken thigh meat. Feed a stone of about 10 cm and wind it about 10 times. Place the bread on it and roll it 10 more times. The moment the fish are collected with bread and the stones are thrown off the bait appears.

"This is interesting‘’.

The ship anchors in the quiet part of the waves of the Island shadow of Cape Ologun. Anchor is a primitive method of tying a rope to a large stone and submerging it in the sea to fix it. The captain checks the fish in the sea with his peeping glasses. I tried it too, but there were no fish. Move the ship a little and this time it's OK.

 

The next day, three of us who were trying to trolling. The ship is struck by big waves, the bottom of the ship hits the waves, and the hand that grabs the edge of the ship gets stronger. It's like riding a rampage horse. The first hit came. Unfortunately, the fish will soon fall out.

Weigh 65 kg of prey pulled up by three people. Cut off the head on the spot and pull out the internal organs neatly. The fearless captain is a bloody fight. I wonder if I can fish with such a small fishing boat.
