ANYONE for Red Snapper?

It just does not get any fresher than this. We have been watching this fisherman every morning paddle out to just beyond the rocks in his yellow broken kayak and fish. All he uses is a light fishing line with a hook and he baits it with calamarie. Today his catch was small because there were not the customers waiting to buy red snapper. One person came down to the beach and asked for mussels so out he went again and came back with a whole bucket of them in less than 1/2 hour. I think he said the price was 6 pesos per kilo. So are the red snapper. And he cleans them and they are ready to flip into the pan and fry!

He fishes with one leg hanging over the side of the kayak using it as a rudder to keep the boat in one place. He does all his baiting the line, throwing it in and then hauling in the fish. The bunch here took him about 45 minutes to catch, clean and sell. Not bad for a few minutes work.
