Fishing in Taganga

We arrived to the fishing village of Taganga, 5 kilometers from Santa Marta, around 9am. Sun, sand and carribean waters!



We took off a day later with local fisherman to practice our skills learned fishing in the amazon. Turns out you dont even need a pole to catch fish. =) We just tossed in a line with some fish on the end and viola! We hooked plenty.

People in Taganga do not go hungry- there is a mountain of fish and the fisherman told us that what we caught was normal, if not on the smaller side.





After we spent the morning and most of the afternoon fishing we stopped off at a coral reef to snorkel and swim. Then we headed to the village to find someone to cook us some fish! We ate our catch with a view of the sea. We gave most of the catch to the local fisherman and kept 5 different types in the freezer for a fish party later this weekend.
