Friday Fun – fishing

This looks lovely … contrary to my first experience of fishing (no, no photos). It was at a secluded beach in South Africa, a so-called “fishers’ paradise”. The men each each several fishing rods fixed in the sand and they just checked the lines occasionally. When they caught a fish, they snatched it off the hook, took it to where the wives and girlfriends sat, next to their pick-up trucks, plonked it on the camping table in front of them, made sure it was dead (or killed it if not), grabbed a beer and went back to the water. In the meantime, the women gutted the fish and dropped it in a cooler, then they grabbed a beer and waited for the next fish to be slapped in front of them. I realised then that there was something like a holiday from hell for me 🙂 Hence, I’ve never really got into fishing. However, I did find a few photos to illustrate a better way to go about it: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2020/06/27/compliments/
