        The fishing with Cole-lamps is a kind of fishing that we do at night. We set off with lamps in the canoes. We line up and make a blockade (for the fish) in one place in the deep-sea. Then we all paddle down to the beach. The fish will be afraid of the light and flee down to the beach. There they are trapped, and we spear them with the fishing spears.
