On August 31, Mr. Tran Hau Tuan (36 years old, residing in Thach Quy ward, Ha Tinh city, Ha Tinh province) drove a car carrying his 7-year-old son, carrying a bamboo trap to the irrigation lake serving the irrigation of Dong Mon commune, Ha Tinh city, to catch wild fish.
"This is the second time this year I have been here when I heard that the lake was drained and tickets were sold for everyone to join in fishing. I really love this sport, it also helps me remember my childhood memories of going to the pond with my friends to catch fish," Mr. Tuan shared.
In addition to Mr. Tran Hau Tuan, his block also had nearly ten other people who enthusiastically bought tickets for 80,000 VND/person to participate.
Hundreds of "fisherman" excitedly bought tickets to go fishing in the lake (Video: Duong Nguyen).
After buying tickets, the "net fishermen" are given pink cloth bands by the lake owner to wear on their hands or tie to their equipment, marking them before going into the lake.
This reservoir has an area of about 4 hectares. In addition to serving agricultural production, Dong Mon Commune People's Committee leased the water surface to Mr. Tran Cuong (40 years old) to raise freshwater fish for economic development.
"I rented the lake 4 years ago and bought many types of fish such as silver carp, bighead carp, common carp, and climbing carp to release them. The fish grow naturally and have never been exploited. During this time, the government drained the water because the harvest season was over and to prevent flooding. This is the second time I have sold tickets to people. This is not profitable, it's just for fun, so when people offered 50,000 VND, I agreed," lake owner Tran Cuong happily shared.
Nearly a hundred people enthusiastically bought tickets and went down to the lake, competing to show off their fishing skills. According to the lake owner's regulations, people were only allowed to use one tool, a bamboo trap.
On the shore, dozens of people came to watch and cheer for the "net fishermen". When they saw fish being disturbed, jumping to the surface of the water or someone catching a fish, they shouted and cheered.
After about ten minutes in the lake, this man caught a silver carp weighing about 2kg.
Mr. Dau Danh (72 years old, residing in Tien Tien village, Dong Mon commune, Ha Tinh city) is one of the oldest participants. Although he is old, he is still strong, can wade in water and hold a fishing net for many hours.
In addition to the fishing net, participants also bring packaging or mesh bags to hold their "spoils of war".
The fishing session usually lasts about 4 hours. The most skilled or lucky people catch 5-10 fish, each weighing 1-5kg, while others return home empty-handed with regret. These fish live in the natural environment so the meat quality is good. The "net master" can bring the fish home to sell or use for family meals.
