        The paroparoos (young trevallies) are a kind of little fish that become big and then become the (grown-up) trevallies with a grey skin and a smooth body without any scales. We get them by casting a line while paddling or when we angle with a bait for them. As for the line fishing while paddling, there is no bait, we just decorate the hook with some kinds of pandanus sprout and small chicken feathers.
