Drop fishing nets in the middle of the sea

Fishermen in the southwest coast of Vietnam drive large wooden stakes in the middle of the sea to release their nets to catch fish. They usually drive wooden poles about 10km from the mainland, so in the fish season, fishermen often spend many days in the sea, they live and eat on these wooden stake systems.This fishing profession is very dangerous but it is a traditional profession, so many fishermen still try to follow it.
