Mangalore Today News Network

 Malpe, June 12, 2015 : Traditional or country boat fishing commenced off the Malpe Cost on June 11, Thursday after fishermen offered prayers to the Sea lord.

As many as 2500 traditional fishermen divided into 43 groups  have  ventured into fishing  from Kaup to Bengre and hope they would get a good catch this season when the mechanised  boat fishing has been banned from June 1 to July 31 as always.

Fishermen  venture into fishing in groups of 25 each in a boat  during early morning hours and return  before darkness sets in. They also hope that during the period when there would be inclement weather conditions, they would be able to do fishing without any danger to lives.
