Fisherman at Cairns

I was delighted to see this local fisherman casting his circular net into the shallow waters just off the beach at Cairns. I don’t know whether he was after any particular kind of fish but I know that many fish like to hide amongst the submerged mangrove roots around the shores. Unfortunately, despite repeated attempts, he went home empty-handed on that occasion. I spoke to him and he allowed me to take these pictures and the short video clip of his fishing technique.
