Description
Another method of catching fish. Large net on left, left on floor of bay for some time and then drawn up by windlass in hut on right (where 2 or 3 men live). Net drawn up periodically and one man walks out on a little plank with a long pole with little net at end of it with which he gathers the fish that may be in the larger net. Lots of these around the bay and river.
