Unfair Fishing ...

Tai Po Fish Pond

Fishing shouldn't be like this but we couldn't hire a boat at such short notice, and besides the three of us hadn't fished before.














The day was science at it's best. A small self-contained pond teeming with hungry fish and a large, ever-stocked fridge overflowing with beers.

You do the maths.

Here's Tabs' mum getting a quick lesson in snaring just one fish in a million that are all starving and nowhere to go ....














Something bites ... reel it in .. play it .....














Hours later, a beautiful fish is brought to shore ...














A beautiful day all round. In the end we caught five fish, and took them across the road to a Thai restaurant where they cooked the biggest one for us. Tabs' Mum took some home for her Dad.

That's Hong Kong. I only new it from James Clavell's "Nobel House". Still water shortage in summertimes? I suppose not.
Take care...
