I was a fisherman for one day.
I have to tell you a couple of years ago I loved fish. In South Africa at that time food prices were starting to rise alarmingly and I used to get very creative to minimise my food bill.

One of my tricks became collecting fish.
Ok that's not possible you say but in those days it was. As we went to Muizenburg beach I was amazed to see a small boat put, puttering on the sea coast, we stopped the car and in amazement the fisherman called us and asked if we can help drag his net in.

Before long a few people was added to the pull as we got the net in. It took 20 minutes to pull some really interesting fish into shore. The man named them , calling the fish harders, red Romans and crayfish too many to count. They told me to fetch 3 plastic shopping bags and I filled it with fish. "Oh thank you!" I said to them. There was four people in the bout and 11 of us helping. I had fish for 2 months and those guys made about 4000ZAR and that was so cool. I went passed there along the coast at least a couple of times but it is Elegal to fish with a very high penalty/ Jail sentence. Only nowadays that is not done but I cant say maybe at midnight those free spirited people might go for moonlight fishing....
