This is the third time Nguyen Van Cuong from Hai Ninh commune, Quang Ninh district, in Quang Binh province has gone near-shore fishing in the daytime. He has caught around 100-150 kg of sardine each trip and reaps a profit of around 220 USD a day. This is also the average of some 800 fishing boats going near-shore and offshore for fish at the end of the year.
Local ports have been busy with trading boats these days. Though prices at year-end are not as high as at the beginning of the year, most fishermen are happy as their fish are selling well and they expect a bumper and profitable catch in the new year.
