Arnold Barauntu, 49, "I start fishing when I was 11 years old until now & will be continue until my body decide to retired. I can still can feed my family from being a fisherman, but it's gonna be hard in the future because the competition with the net fishing boat make the condition getting harder to get the fish.
the net fishing always over fishing & they get the baby fish also.we always fighting each other when we meet up on the fishing ground.
pole & line need a good bait for a good fishing trip. ('malalugis fish' is the good one)
pole & line only fishing for the proper size. (minimum 1kg) beacuse the hook too big for a baby fish.we learning about pole & line from japanese fisherman around 50's
& we start since 70's to fishing at the front boat.
when i'm start fishing around 80's we only need maximum 20 miles from the beach to the get the fish.we always saw the dolpin & shark on the way to fishing. There's a lot of fish before the net fishing boat from philipines coming since 90's. and after 2000 the condition getting bad because the local fisherman starting to doing net fishing also.
not much dolpin we can found now because the net fishing & rompong every 5 miles.
no more shark migration like before.
