Small Croatian fishing boats
I will like to post two pictures of small Croatian fishing boats. Croatia has a fishing fleet consisting of large trawlers and purse seiners, but on this post you will see smaller boats used by the locals for traditional fishing, nowadays more in terms of recreational fishing.
The picture above is taken in Seget Vranjica not far from Trogir. I will visit Trogir later this summer and hopefully I will learn more about the use of these boats and the traditional fishing gear.
The next picture shows a boat in Tucepi (a bit further southeast on the Croatian coastline). A lot of similar boats was seen in Tucepi and in the evening they left the harbour. The boats is then easily seen not far from the coast as the fishermen use lights to attract the prey. This way of fishing squids can be observed from late summer till late fall.
