Trawler

Wanted to put fuel in my car today as I hate having the tank too low so I popped intothe fishing harbour just a short distance further. (I live so far away from civilisation that I like to know I always have enough fuel to get me at least as far as Cape Town in case of any kind of emergency)
Nice shot

Very wise of you, lovely shot of this huge trawler. Do you know what they fish?

@narayani Thanks very much, narayani
@ludwigsdiana thanks Diana. I don't know what they mainly fish - I just know that they are not bottom trawlers but trawl the middle of the ocean. I guess snoek is included in their range of fish as it is a very common fish around here - ie at the fish 'n chip shop we can order hake and chips or snoek and chips.

@seacreature I was hoping it was pronounced "snake" and chips. But it isn't. :( ;D
Lovely shot of the trawler. Those nets and floats look familiar.

@meotzi Hahaha. Nope it's pronounced snook. A very bony fish but with big strong bones so you are unlikely to swallow one and get it stuck in your throat. And a very tasty fish too. Nothing quite like fresh smoked snoek
