p. 79 · Read in the full issue
The old method of spearing fish is gradually being replaced in Netherlands New Guinea with more modern methods aimed at bigger catches. And here is one of the methods—bait consisting of strips of white cloth. It’s regarded as pretty efficient if you are after barracuda and tengiri, and as a matt ter of fact, the particular baft in the top photograph caught the particular fish in the bottom photograph—and that’s good going for any fisherman anywhere!
The Netherlands New Guinea people are also being encouraged in net fishing.
