For Edward Daniels, who works on purse-seine boats, summer is skipjack season. When the fish swim into New Zealand waters, spotter planes pick out a likely school. (Fishers won’t target a school that’s too big for their boat’s capacity.) Every year the fish are in a different place, and “if the temperatures aren’t right the fish might not even turn up,” he says. “That’s why it’s called fishing, not catching—because you don’t always catch it.”
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue: 170 July August 2021.
