St Francis Bay South Africa


 St Francis Bay is a small holiday town about one hours drive from Port Elizabeth. Being an ocean town they are naturally big on fishing. One of the most profitable kind is squid fishing.


 Squid finishing is done during the night. Chokka boats are fitted with lights around the boats to attracts sea life that is eaten by the squid. Often the boats will stay out for weeks at a time with the crew working through the night and sleeping during the day.
