The day is ideal for fishing. Little fish are only used for bait. Half submerged in the outrigger they are taken beyond the coral reef at the mouth of the channel where the larger fish, like the Bonito, are lurking. The caught fish on the hooks attract the most unwelcome shark. Winner, First Prize, Best In Festival, Social Sciences, Birmingham International Educational Film Festival. (IFF catalog)
