This is a method of fishing seafood near the shore, usually lasting from January to September of the lunar calendar, the time when the sea is calm. Photo: QA

kéo 1 — To practice the trawling business, fishermen must buy a long net with small mesh. The person in charge of casting the net must sail from the shore about 1 km out to sea, then cast the net into the sea in an arc or U-shape. Photo: QA

kéo 6 — Once the net has been spread out to sea, people on the shore divide into 2 groups, each side has 6-8 people holding the rope to pull the net up, and the sea fish will fall into the net. Therefore, this job is often jokingly called "going backwards" at sea. Photo: QA

kéo 5 — Fishing net pulling requires strength and endurance, as fishermen have to work continuously at sea, pull heavy nets and endure unpredictable weather. Photo: QA

kéo 12 — According to Cua Lo fishermen, in the profession of trawling, the most important factor is the smooth coordination between members, enhancing the spirit of solidarity and supporting each other throughout the working process to make the trawling effective. Photo: QA

kéo 13 — Mr. Do Van Kien in Nghi Thu ward has been involved in the profession of trawling for more than 20 years. He shared: Each batch of nets from the time they are released until they are pulled ashore takes about 2 hours. Depending on the tide and the season, the yield varies. Some batches are big, pulling up hundreds of kilograms of fish, but some batches only yield a few kilograms, not worth the effort of dozens of people... Photo: QA

kéo 9 — The fishermen split into two teams and "go backwards" until the two sides pull the net together to complete the job. Compared to other offshore fishing jobs, this job is much safer because most of the fishermen stay on shore and rarely face big waves. Photo: QA

kéo 10 — Every time a fisherman finishes a catch, there are always many locals and tourists coming to see the results. Photo: QA

kéo 7 — The interesting thing is that these batches of seafood are often sold in bunches or trays or baskets, not by weight as usual, the price is negotiable, depending on the type of fish, shrimp, squid. On average, each small batch costs a few tens of thousands of dong, however, there are also batches of good quality fish and shrimp that cost hundreds of thousands of dong. Photo: QA

kéo 8 — Seafood caught from trawling is always guaranteed to be fresh and delicious, so locals and tourists compete to buy it, often selling out within the day. Trawling is not only a traditional profession but also brings an interesting beauty of labor in the middle of the vast sea and sky, attracting tourists to experience and explore the life of fishermen along the Cua Lo coast every year.
