The capelins are here

We sailed all day on the fjord ... IDA has caught many capelins on this little fishing rod ... Every year in May-June months the fish swim in huge numbers to Ammassalik Fjord ... Here they put their eggs in the low water near the coast ... The Greenlandic word: "Ammassat" means capelin ... The Fjord and city has been named "Ammassalik" because of the small fish ...
The fish swim in the shallow water and put their eggs ... The white areas on the bottom are fish eggs...
Fish and eegs...

Great to fish in the beautiful surroundings.....
