‘Yellow Jack’

Several times a week we walk home on the three mile beach shown above. We see lines of men rythmically pulling on each end of a net a mile long, and a paddle canoe in the sea controlling it. They usually catch a few small fish, but once every year or two they net a huge shoal of ‘Yellow jack’. The catch can weigh ten tons or more, and great crowds arrive. All night people come to buy fish, and this included members of our TEAM. By morning it’s all gone!
