Gone Fishin'

As it was Sunday, the children were off school,  and several of them gathered on the little pier next to where we were having our lunch. They were each using a fishing line which was wrapped around a plastic bottle, normally held between the knees. They were using bits of fish as bait, except for the little boy in lime green, who was using a lure. 
The most successful was the little girl in the yellow top with her back to us. She was watching the fish as they took the bait,  and then she would strike. All the fish were carefully taken off the hook and then placed in a bag or bucket, presumbably to be taken home for their meal.
All the time, there were sea eagles soaring overhead, but the children are so used to them that they took no notice.
The blue object in the water close to us is part of a very large keep net  which belongs to the restaurant, ensuring fresh fish for the customers.
