It’s been years since I last fish for Dorados at Laiya Batangas.  Last Sunday I had a chance to do so.
We left Manila 12mn and arrived at Laiya around 2:30am with the weather not cooperating very well. But no matter, we had a few hours of waiting and hoping that the rain subsides when the sun comes up. We took a nap inside Alan’s Revo until around 5:30am when we decided to call our boatman, Roger. It took quite a while for us to get ready, Roger had …

I got skunked when we went out fishing last November 2. It was just Bien who managed to boat a decent sized fish Filipino Anglers in Pundaquit . Oh, Alan also caught a rainbow runner, but wasnt’ able to take photos..
The next day, I went back to Pundaquit but this time it was with my family. My wife has been craving for the beach and a short vacation for some time now and the semestral break gave us an opportunity to have a getaway in Zambales.

November 2, 2008. Yeah, it was All Souls Day. But it was a free day for most of the FilAnglers. So we headed off to Brgy. Pundaquit, San Antonio, Zambales for some fishing.

We were hopefull that the group will get a good haul.

Fishing down south

Congratulations to the Winners!

A month ago, I visited a new spot in San Antonio, Zambales area. The location is a fishing village and a few tourist resorts sprouted on it’s shoreline. A few kilometers from the shore, there you will find Capones and Camara Islands, and on a clear day you can see the clear white sands and tropical blue waters. Tourists are frequenting the place to bask at the secluded island beach merely a few hours drive from manila.

I was led to Pundaquit not because of it’s crystal blue …

Freshwater monster in the heart of metro manila.

Crunch-Time-Angler Alan had a free sunday from his busy sched and decided to go fishing and tagged along me and johnnyboy. When we left santolan around 2:30 am, we were contemplaing on what to do; trolling? jigging perhaps or bouy hopping? Definitely all three of us wanted to try jigging so it’s one of the agenda. Arriving at Laiya a little before 6am and asked Tereso and Rosen what are biting. It’s definite daw that there’s no dorados so it will be trolling and jigging.

Capones and Camara Islands are small Islets located in the area of Pundaquit town in San Antonio, Zambales. A mere 45 min. bus ride from Subic or a 3-hour from Manila (Victory Liner station in Monumento)
JL, Randy and I, already went there a month or two ago. We came there almost after a storm, ended up soaking wet, and caught a few small snappers, groupers but none were notable sized. I caught two papakols around a kg each but I wasn’t able to take a pic. I think it’s still …

The group that became family.
