The Rules of the Catch: Wisdom from a Day of Fishing

The Rules of the Catch: Wisdom from a Day of Fishing

Cover image description
Enjoying a peaceful day of fishing.

Wherever we go, the water spreads its silent web of mystery. Nets hang like threads between sky and sea, catching not only fish but also fragments of our lives. We think we are casting the net, yet sometimes it feels as though the system casts it over us—its mesh heavy with burdens, its knots woven from culture, history, and expectation. By the shore of Shkumbini, with the sun on my back and salt on my skin, I felt both hunter and caught. The net for my feet is not only in the water; it’s also in the patterns of life. This day of fishing became a mirror, a lesson, and a story I will now throw online, like a catch into the digital sea, for others to find.

Cast Into the Current

Discipline and respect for tradition guide every step in a fisherman’s life. Ignoring the wisdom passed down through generations can bring misfortune: failed catches, illness, or wasted effort. Long ago, the seers and prophets of our land warned that neglecting these teachings would lead to hardship, yet their words were often ignored. Even today, the call is clear: honor the methods, respect the waters, and live in harmony with nature. Turn away from greed and thoughtless action. Let the fishermen rise early, heed the rhythms of the rivers and seas, and act with care and patience. Cast aside past mistakes and cultivate a new heart and spirit in your work. In following these lessons—written in the “book of aquaculture,” if you will—success will return, and the waters will yield their bounty. Remember, fishing is not just a craft; it is a practice of discipline, respect, and renewal.

Ready to honor what has been divinely taught and to act with obedience. These are the commandments, the rules, and the personal customs—guidelines you are called to learn and apply in your fishing. Keep these norms close, so you do not forget the basics. Follow the commandments, decisions, and processes I share today. Through this silent writing, I speak these words: these are the distinctions given by our ancestors, who adopted the plan, followed the rules, and listened to guidance. Learn them carefully, apply them wisely. I speak as one sent by my forefathers, a fisherman from the day my father first set out until this day. I have sent my men forth—workers rising early every weekend to fish—learning through practice, correction, and discipline. Discipline may not always bring immediate joy; often it brings grief. But in time, it yields the peaceable fruit of skill and wisdom to those who embrace it. Better to endure hardship than to ignore the rules of fishing. Respect what is right, learn from it, and let it guide your hands and heart.
