Life: Fisherman and The Sea

Hello my friends, nice to meet you again!. I was away for my health reasons. I am getting well, so this is the light post of mine.

Life is not that easy nor that difficult to live, it is how you look at it and how you enjoy what you are doing, at least that is the "words" I heard from the wise. I totally agree with it, because as long as you enjoy and do what you can do, you have a happy life after all.

A few weeks ago, I visited the nearest fish landing jetty at Ulee Rubek Barat. And I had some discussion of fishing things. I met a fisherman and had an interview on how he catch the fishes (Tuna and other kinds), and about their daily earning.

The owner of the twin dolphin shown the fishing gears he had willingly to me for asking him question of the fishing method. These are my interview with Mr. Rani (donno what is his real name)

How long have you been a fisherman? And how much of your capital to build a boat?

His tuna fishing line has multiple hooks as well, but some of the line I sar only has one hook.

I have been being a fisherman since I was 16 years old and still a fisherman. I started to go for fishing with my father when I was 12 years old, but on my 16 years old I had had my own rented boat. Since then, I learned navigation and mark the location of fishing area base on the stars and season. For this twin dolphin I have spent about 28 millions to be ready for sailing and include the fishing gears. (28 million is about $1,870 USD).

How far you go for fishing now? How much you can get a day?

It is really depended on the season, currently I need to go farther than usual because it is harder to catch Tuna, since the pollution, discoloration, contamination from upland and garbage. Sometimes, I need to go up to 15 miles away from the shore. If I am not lucky lately, I haven't got more than 10 kg/day since last month.

Can you show me your fishing gear? And how to use it?

This fishing hook is for tuna, this colorful tassel is a fake bite to attract tuna catch the bite.

And this is for smaller fishes, it also use fake bite

At the and of multy hooks fishing line has a ballast. This fising line has 12 hooks in total.

I have only simple fishing gears, I don’t have trawl. What I have is these two kinds of fishing line with hook, one for tuna and the other one is for smaller fishes. And the one with many hooks on can get more than one fishes at the same time. I tie 8 hooks in a single line to utilize it for maximum use. There is no need to have real bite on it, but only fake one to attract the fishes. Tuna and smaller fishes can be attracted with colorful fake bite. But for some fishes need real bite, and we use smaller fishes for the bite

Alright, thank you very much for your information. I really appreciate your information sir.
It is really simple actually, but they have served the people with healthy food for decade. This is how the fisherman in my hometown catches the fish for their daily life earning with his boat.
