Description
'Slipper boats' " two long narrow boats fastened together. This is perhaps the most interesting of numerous unique methods of catching fish that I've yet seen. These boats go out at dark. They put out long white boards over the water and the fish attracted by their whiteness simply jump into the boat! Sounds like a fish story but for confirmation and details, ask the Waters.
