Fishing seems to be primarily a social activity for most. There is little evidence that they actually expect to catch fish. The fishing club is an excuse to be together and socialize. These social fisher folk talk a lot, laugh a lot and have a very good time. If their commotion spooks the fish, they don't seem to notice.
Some groups fish diligently but they are clumsy.
They splash around in the water with spears and nets. They exhort the fish in loud, scolding tones. Some shoot at the fish. As a result, most of the fish are frightened away from the shallow waters near the bank where the fishing clubs are. Still others are truly bent on catching fish.
