We had set out early to photograph the sunrise through the fishing nets on the river. It was our first full day in Hoi An and cruising the river was a stunning way to start the day.
These fishing nets are lowered into the water and then they are hoisted back into this position. As the fishing nets are raised, the fisherman beat the nest to bring their catch back to the centre of the nets. The problem is though there tends not to be too much in the fishing net when they finish this process.
But with this in mind they still work very hard to produce a catch that they can sell at the local market.
