When you're a fishermen on vacation you'll take any type of fishing you can get. I went out to lunch yesterday at a shrimp farm in Taichung, Taiwan. When we got there I was surprised to see you had to catch your food.

You rented a pole and then stood around the "pond" with everyone else trying to get some bobber down action. Basic setup was a slip bobber with two small egg hooks. Bait was either shrimp meet or some type of liver. Here's a view of everyone trying to catch lunch.



Once you were done catching your shrimp they had a sink and a barbecue for you to cook them on. This is my friend Sarah with some of our catch ready to eat

Interesting...

My wife is from Taiwan. She hates fishing but loves shrimp. This might be an activity I can get approval for, if/when we visit Taiwan.

Looks like a ton of fun!!! I like the idea of having to catch your own dinner, but really got a kick out of the dad with the helmet on the bike with his daughter without one! Looks like he wishes he had a son :lol:
