Fisherman folding fishnet in a Bangka.
I made this recording in the morning, in Tacligan (near San Teodoro, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines), while a fisherman was folding a fishnet in his Bangka (small wooden outrigger canoe), in order to be ready to go fishing.
In the background, sea waves, cicadas, some birds, and sounds from the surroundings. Recorded in August 2025 with a Zoom H5studio (built-in XY microphones).
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.

Thanks Marcel !
This fisherman was a little further than the other one. As he was going to fold his fishnet in order to go fishing, I asked him if I could record him while doing his business, and he kindly agreed.
The kid you like just finished to swim and was asking if it was time to go home ?

Well done, Kevin,
This one is a lot longer than the last one. Lovely to listen to. And I love the (children's) voices in the background. Great sound recording.
Another 5*

Yes, very nice to have the chance to record such a traditional activity, as fishermen like him struggle to survive.
