Fishing in the surf; wider view

This wider view shows the perch of the fisherman that I showed yesterday.  He is on one of the rocks on Langosta Beach.  It is low tide.  At high tide, the rocks will be covered by the waves.

I often see fisherman casting their lines out into the surf.  I rarely see them haul in a fish.  But, I don't have their patience.  They must catch fish, because otherwise, why would they do it?

My brother lives on a lake in Minnesota, where people go ice fishing in the winter.  Ice fishing and surf fishing do not seem like the same sport.  If I were a fisherman, I would certainly prefer sanding out by the ocean rather than sitting over a hole in the ice.

This week we have photos of Tanzania posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site this week.

  1. i think sometimes its the solitude and the company of our thoughts that make an activity that requires a lot of patient waiting enjoyable or 'fun'.... the photos of the beach and the surf and the town are so lovely, they make me want to go there!

  2. I couldn't agree more. The beauty of the crashing waves beats freezing around a hole in the ice. I remember seeing someone fishing in this same location when I was there.
