coming ashore, fishermen, round fishing boats, Da Nang, Vietnam

view map

These guys leave around 3am and come back around 6am in these round fishing boats. They cruised back and forth off shore with their net dragging. I didn't see that many fish and mostly little fish. They row out against the waves then used the waves when coming back to shore. Here is the link of the use of the round boat http://www.boatsandrice.com/wovenBamboo.html

Shot, there must be some advantage to the boats being round. Super catch!!
