Typhoon Shelter Fishing

After many rainy and foggy days for the last few weeks, its nice to see this couple fishing off the bow of Watermark during the Hong Kong's long Easter Weekend Holiday.

Catch of The Day

Typhoon Shelter Fisherman

Happy American Thanksgiving Day to the Typhoon Shelter fisherman outside my bedroom porthole window!  It is not considered at all unusual for fishermen to tie up directly along side Watermark's hull, where she shades both the fisherman and the fish.

Sunday Morning Crab Fisherman in the Typhoon Shelter

Typhoon Shelter Style Crab:  Cook in the shell, briefly in a very hot wok, with chilli, scallions, onion and black bean.

Chatted with and cheered these guys on as they pulled in fish along side Watermark.

As in an Indonesian Wayang shadow puppet show, watching the projected image of a sampan fisherman mending his nets.  From the deck of Watermark, Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter, Hong Kong Island

After weeks of heavy rain, Sunday morning is clear.  Fisherman preparing their nets to go out, hoping for a big catch.

Afternoon Fisherman - Hand Line Fishing in the Typhoon Shelter

Sunday Afternoon Fisherman in the Typhoon Shelter

I've photographed this gentleman several times from the deck of "Watermark".  We now always exchange waves and smiles. I only see him on Sunday afternoons, paddling his small boat with it's "one of a kind" paint job.  A single oar slowly but steadily gets him around to a likely spot, where he throws out his hand line.

Fishermen in the Typhoon Shelter

Small boats of every description and condition are used by fishermen to weave their way between the larger moored junks and and yachts in the Typhoon Shelter.  It is not unusual to see them paddled slowly with a single oar to come along side of "Watermark" and her buoys. It's not considered bad manners at all to fish in the shade of her hull, and not unusual to look out the below deck portholes to see a fisherman looking back at eye level.

Hand lines, rather that poles, are the preferred choice.   I've seen small fish, and squid, pulled up right next to "Watermark".
