We go into the sea about five-thirty in the evening and return about six the following morning. At night, as the moonlight shines on the sea, the scales on the fish shine in the water. Some of the scales can shine like lights under the ocean. In this way we are able to see the fish even if they are several kilometers away. By reading the stars I can locate the presence of fish even if they are very deep in the sea.
Fishing takes a lot of equipment.
For each method we need a specially-made net that is suitable for that type of fishing. The nets are very expensive. They are mostly imported from abroad by the Ministry of Agriculture. We need an outboard motor to power the pirogue as we go out to sea. The outboard motor is also very expensive.
