A Dubai Man Goes Fishing From His Balcony During Isolation
Making the most of isolation, a Dubai resident managed to successfully fish from his balcony.
A keen fisherman, Philip Du Plessis tried fishing from his balcony and was astonished to catch a bream in just five minutes.
After eleven days of self-isolation, boredom lead Philip to bust out his fishing rod and cast a line from his balcony at the end of March.
After dinner one evening he said he knew there was a reason he chose to live there and that after just two attempts, he was reeling in a bream.
