Catching the bait

Within an hour of arriving on the island, CJ returned on his boat and very kindly showed us how to use a bait catching net to .... catch our own bait. The pictures should be self-explanatory.
The main catch tended to be sprats aka yellow eyed mullet. these are considered poor bait so we did throw most of them back. I caught the biggest snapper using the top half of one, but it was not that big. The target was a fish with a long bill called piper. In one sweep of the net we caught 37 piper - well worth the effort.
