Italian net fishing
This video was the idea of Damiano (Peter) Turci to honour the Italian net fishers of Port Pirie. The pioneer Italian fishermen evolved a distinctive style of fishing boat to suit the shallow coastline of upper Spencer Gulf. The shallow draft boats sat upright at low tides enabling a reasonably comfortable lifestyle as fishermen sometimes spent days, if not weeks, at sea to provide for their families. Their diet on a typical fishing trip mainly consisted of a fish soup ‘chambott’ (fish, onion, garlic and tomato with olive oil and water), supplemented with dry stale bread to soak-up the broth. The meal was cooked over a small drum, called a ‘fire-pot’, using charcoal or dried mangroves as fuel.
So come with us, on the last of these fishing vessels leaving her home port to net fish ‘like d' old people’, one last time.
N.B. A special permit was obtained from S.A. Fisheries Dept. to cast these nets expressly for the purpose of making this video.
Thanks to Peter Turci for taking his old fishing boat out one last time. Another similar, restored fishing boat is now on display in Port Pirie, and this video is running on the telly at this display.

Wonderful documentary, steeped in one man's knowledge, memories, and nostalgia. I wish I could relive those simpler times.

A nice documentary video reminds of good old but hard days , days that have a nostalgic sense ! Thank you for the realization of Mr. Turci 's idea .
Un vero pezzo di storia vivente !!! Il vecchio signore è molto forte e pieno di energia ancora. Un migliaio di grazie.
Thank you very much for this video. My grandfather was fishing on an identical boat. It is a great message for the younger generation that the old methods and techniques have their benefits.

Gidday, He got up early the day we went out on the water, he never felt so good, finally doing his dream of filming the last run out in the old boat. He still is a very fit man of his age, a credit to him.Trevor

There's still a few young ones that still uphold the good ways. I mind my nets after they fish using the same needle as you and I'm on the opposite side of the globe as you. To the good come spoils TravelinAlaskan

GiddayPeter sold the boat after the making of this video, the boat is used as a centrepiece to a dam on a local property. Peter knows the location, he was sorry to see it go.

What do you call this type of boat, or is it just a sail boat?

Gidday, I don't think i has a name as such, I would call it a net boat.

Gidday, Yes i wanted the sails up but in the morning, there was little wind. However as we left to go back in there was a bit of wind, and I did get Damiano to put the sail up, just to see it. I is unfortunate we did not get to sail in as we could have. To his credit the original sails from this boat rotted long ago, what you see in the film is a sail whipped up by his wife from a 'bedsheet', just made for the camera. I do not believe it would take much punishment (this is our secret).
