- CATCHING fish is a pleasant hobby combining nature walk, leisure and culinary adventure. Local people have their Bali fishing trips in their own way, not necessarily be expensive.
- However, if wishing to enjoy more challenging adventure and get bigger fish, take fishing tour package.
EVERY fisherman or fish catcher always has a thousand ways and uses every single opportunity available to catch fish. They will show off the creative efforts of fishermen to get their target fish in order to survive. They may catch fish on the beach, in the river or estuary.
In addition to adjusting fishing gear, they also understand very well about when the appropriate time is likely to have fish according to environmental conditions. On the beach, for example, during high tides, fish catcher spread their nets to get fish, crabs or lobsters. For this last catch (lobster), their net must be put in place and then taken out the next day.
Meanwhile, when the seawater recedes, fish catchers also have the opportunity to catch fish getting trapped between rocks or shallow waters bordering with the coastline. What fish do they get? They just get small fish trapped in small lagoons like crescent grunter and crabs hiding between the rocks. In the meantime, the bigger fish must have followed the last waves reaching the shore. Once the seawater recedes, they have been nowhere.
Conversely, when the tide rises, many fish are pacing in coastal waters, moreover, if the beach is connected to the estuary. When the tide and the river water are slightly muddy due to rain in the upstream area, it certainly brings a lot of potential food for fish.
Well, when the waves come, it is the best opportunity to spread the (conical) net. It is assumed that many fish will go along with the waves leading to the river’s currents. If there are small fish such as anchovies with its variants, surely they are also followed by larger predatory fish. Here, the small fish may be lady fish, croaker, crescent grunter and shrimp. Becoming a seasonal fish catcher in shallow waters certainly cannot be expected to be a sustainable job like fishermen who carry a boat and catch fish in the middle of the sea.
In Bali, for example, this kind of activity is commonly taken to just kill time and not becoming the main profession. Those who catch fish like this way are generally people living on the coastal or rural areas or others whose main profession is as farmer or others.
