Each fisherman has two caballitos so that they might have time to dry between outings. The fishermen still use bamboo paddles just as their ancestors have used for thousands of years.
While the methods haven't changed much, the materials have. Fishermen use nylon nets to catch fish, a mix of species that don't have much value in larger markets. The fishermen's catch is typically sold to people on the beach when they return later in the morning, in small local markets, or kept for their families.
