Fishing Research and Techniques

Andy demonstrates the basics of Scarborough fishing using live bait and a wooden wheel. He explains the skill required to fish without modern equipment, emphasizing the excitement of the challenge. Andy catches a Nile perch, measures its length and girth to estimate its weight, and tags it for research purposes. This contributes to understanding the fish's range and aids in conservation efforts.
