Fishing season in Quang Ngai
In mid-June, fishermen in coastal areas in Mo Duc district, Quang Ngai province started their inshore fishing trips. Despite the arduous work, their lives have always been connected to the sea.
 |
| Around five fishermen steering a small bamboo boat head to the sea 100 metres from shore to cast fishing nets. |
 |
| Experienced fishermen choose the location for casting fishing nets because they can accurately judge the direction of fish. This is considered the most important part of fishing. |
 |
| After casting fishing nets, the fishermen are divided into two groups to pull the nets to shore. |
 |
| Fishing nets used by fishermen in Quang Ngai’s coastal communes measure around 1,000 metres-2,000 metres in length. |
 |
| It takes about two to three hours for fishermen to get a catch of fish. Normally, brothers in a family or neighbours gather into a group to catch fish. |
 |
| Each day, fishermen can earn VND150,000-VND200,000 each by selling fish that they catch. |
 |
| Fishermen often sell fish to restaurants and tourists right on the beach. |
 |
| Fishing is arduous work with numerous dangers; however fishermen can feed their families with their fine catch of fish. |
