Udupi, Sep 19: There was a bumper catch of sardine fish at Thottam sea shore here on Monday, September 19.
People flocked the shore and gathered the fish. Fishermen feel disappointed after waiting for fish sometimes even after spreading their nets but Monday was a storm of sardines.
Sardines were seen up to a distance of 200 metres. The fish might have weighed 500 kg to 600 kg, said the local people.
Fishermen say that the fish might have lost their way while avoiding engine noise and getting tarpped in the nets.
