Night Fishing
Residents of Ukulhas and visitors enjoy the fun time of night fishing under the twinkling stars. For the night fishing ‘Dhoni’ leaves from the island and anchors at a neighboring reef before the sunsets and darkness falls on. When the dhoni (traditional fishing vessel with a mechanized engine) anchors, the fishing lines are set tethered with hooks and sinkers, which drop overboard from both sides of the vessel, it’s time for you to catch emperors, snappers, squirrelfish, jacks etc. It’s a tremendous, fantastic time if the fishing is good enough. If the fishing goes weak it’s an even happier to relax under the twinkling stars, on the deck of your isolated fishing vessel to listen the soft sound of waves which gently rocks against the vessel.

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or fishing:
“Indeed, my mother’s beautiful face still shone with youthfulness that night when she so softly held my hands and sought to stop my tears; but, precisely, it seemed to me that this should not have happened, her anger would have saddened me less than this new sweetness that my childhood had never known; it seemed to me that, with a hidden and impious hand, I had just traced the first wrinkle and made appear the first grey hair in her soul.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.”
—Tom Brokaw (b. 1940)
