This guy was just outside harbour entrance. Last year, the authorities shut the quayside fish market inside because they detected Cholera in the harbour water which was being used to irrigate the live fish in the tanks.

The signs prohibiting fishing are totally ignored as are those against bike riding

Fishing Not Allowed 2 South Horizons photo by D. Middleburgh

I never really fished in UK but I have this image of a male dominated sport. In HK, it is common to see women, all ages and classes, fishing. I think it’s a cultural (HAKKA) thing.
