Fishing for sheepshead has become an integral part of coastal culture in Pakistan, particularly in regions like Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara. This unique fishing tradition combines modern techniques with local practices that have been passed down through generations.
Local fishermen in Sindh and Balochistan coastal areas have developed specialized methods for catching sheepshead, using traditional wooden boats called \“houris\“ and handmade nets. The fishing season typically peaks during the winter months when sheepshead migrate to warmer Pakistani waters.
In Pakistani coastal communities, sheepshead fishing is not just an economic activity but also a cultural heritage. Fishermen often begin their training at young age, learning about tides, weather patterns, and fish behavior from elder family members. The catch is usually sold at local fish markets or used for family consumption.
Traditional Pakistani methods include using specific bait like crabs and shrimp, which are abundant in coastal areas. The fishing communities have deep knowledge about the best fishing spots and timing, often based on lunar cycles and seasonal changes. |
