A lazy Sunday morning

What else better to do than to laze in bed on a wet Sunday morning, until someone called me out.. It was Chang Noi seeking permission to fish. He is back to build a new bird house nearby and extends him an open invitation to fish at my farm.

He is not alone but with his gang of workers. All ready with their nets and gears.













It was interesting to watch their team work in action. First several nets were set up at various strategic spots. Then the men went in to waist deep water and rattled the water below surface with a bamboo mounted clapper. Frightened fishes dashed about and got trapped by the nets.













Simple strategy that works.. doesn't take long to haul up the catches.













The Tilapia fries released last year have grown to adult size.













It's more fun catching your diner than buying from the market.
