Bow of a purse seine skiff, itself sitting on the back of a purse seiner. This is the small boat that pulls the net around a school of fish.

There's not much fishing going on right now because sardine is closed and there is not a lot available for purse seiners to target - wrong season for squid and mackerel is too far offshore. So many boats are hauling a lot of their gear off the boat and doing maintenance, repairing nets, etc.
