"IN THE PACIFIC OFF FUNAFUTI, Tuvalu — Rocking in the ocean swells, the fishers held up empty hands when their rusting tub of a tuna boat was hailed from a passing skiff.
"No, it's bad! The fishing is bad!" Tanemuga Tenae shouted across from his stern. "Too many boats! Too many Japanese boats!"

Posted by COngrats at August 7, 2004 9:24 AMI was a fisherman which I got all the secret spot from my Grandpa. Before we brought about 50lbs. bottom fish less than an hour. But right now you will stay almost a day to catch just one fish. Imagine that! I agree to chase all those fishing ship and start baby sitting our value products.
If you go out for dinner and order fresh fish it will cost you more than what you expect. Japanese, Chinese, or other big country more higher.
