The artisan fishing, like socio-economic cell, gave rise to DEVILS´POINT like town of fishermen. Graphically, we can transfer the name of the town towards a boat orange and white, with cabin or without her, of enfibrada wood, that approaches towards the coast, crossing the blue sea. They do not bring about disturbance, since the motor impels that them is always of low power. Course to the horizon points the intrepid and friendly prows of these small boats, loading two or three fishermen, of marine vocation par excellence. And they return; after to spend hours or days on the high seas and a yellow wide sand strip and its families during the winter are hoped by; while during the summery station they are the tourists who anxiously, they wait for the loaded fresh fish in the warehouse of each boat.

The usual thing is that if we approached we find with the fish piled up, without being box-like until this stage, that includes/understands the capture and the transfer in totally natural conditions. The calls “fishing arts”, are instruments made in form artisan by those who nuclean surroundings to this function, most common are in the form of network: calls “network of fishing net” and palangre. In the sea, the species that leave most frequently are the shark and the shrimp. In addition, in smaller percentage it is fished: sole, brótola, whiting and ray (chucho). In lacustrine means, in the lagoon Castles and of Rocha, we were with the call “sweeps sandy” that by its fragile constitution is disintegrated, allowing that mixes the waters and that certain species reach the zone of lagoon, in the months between February and April. Some of these species are: corvina, smooth, pejerrey and shrimp. Others, in the same site mature sexually and then, route sweeps sandy open, return to the sea.
