Fishing at Miura Beach

Miura Beach Fishing 

The Yokosuka Volunteer Group went out last Saturday, (March 26, 2005) to help out with the local community. The Naval Hospital was invited to go clean up Miura Beach. After the two-hour cleanup, there was a little surprise.... Everyone gathered together for a snap-shot and shortly after, the Japanese hosts announced that we were going fishing. Two boats sailed out and dropped in these two huge nets. The crowd had to form 2 lines. Each line had to pull a separate rope attached to the net. Pulling the net in was a huge undertaking. There were little kids and grandmothers all helping out to pull this net in. It was very exciting! When the net reached the beach, there were lots of fish, crabs and seaweed. I refused to grab the live crabs with my bare hands so I grabbed four fish. They were very slippery and were alive and squirming. Soco and her friend, refusing to get dirty, stood on the side and took these neat pictures that you see here.
