A trip to Night Fishing

Night fishing is one of the most popular fun event among Maldivian youths now a days. It really is interactive and great way to make a get together with friends.When looking back into the tradition of Night Fishing, in olden days, people used it as catching some reef fishes for meal. For our fathers and grandfathers, the Night Fishing was not a fun even like it is now. But in modern society, it has become a fun trip, even more than catching fish for meals. Seriously, no one considers catching fish for the meal or trade now a days, but it all goes with making a great fun night. In these modern culture of Maldivians,youngsters go night fishing with group of friends, including both boys and girls. Now, night fishing is not just only about fishing and new   additional events have now been added into the trip which  includes Boduberu' ( Maldivian traditional drum music ) and variety of foods and drinks. The Night fishing has now gone commercial and there are even event organizers who offer packages. 

I have been on some of these great night fishing trips, and personally for me, this is one of the greatest and unique fun event or trip someone can ever have. It is interactive, enjoying and just unforgettable. These pictures are taken from 2 Night fishing trips that i have enjoyed.
