        For the tanaa we place the nets in a row when the high tide starts going down again towards ebb tide. When we have finished lining up the nets, we just wait for the fish to get trapped, those which are about to escape the ebb tide.

        When it is ebb tide, we eventually get the fish that are trapped in the net. Those that have not been trapped, we will search for them in the pools and then spear them with fishing spears.
