Fishermen

At Karwar, in Karnataka, the Kali river joins the sea and forms a shallow estuary, which attracts a lot of fish. The local fishermen just walk into the shallow waters with their nets, spread the nets in the water and leave it there for a while. After some time, they remove the net, and return with the catch.
