Shot on 4.1.2010 this clip shows one of the iconic Chinese Fishing nets being operated on the waterfront at Fort Cochin in Kochi. Said to have been introduced by traders from the court of Kublai Khan. Huge arced poles suspend the nets above the water, counterbalanced by some hefty great rocks, and the fishermen haul them out of the water some 200 times a day. On this occasion they were lucky and managed a bit of a catch.
