My wife seems to love all of these fishing programs like Trawlermen ect, but for some reason she can't stand Extreme Fishing. Maybe it's just Robson Green she's not too keen on. :Erm:

Thanks, Paul & Tin. I've made a mental note to watch this programme ... no, on reflection, it's better that I jot down the date, time and Channel ... as Myrna and myself have already had the misfortune to miss at least one other featuring the Phils [that I was later told about] in the five weeks she's been here. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

lets see if we can get Mrs Major hooked on it... hehehehehe

Nice one Scott & Ligaya! :icon_lol: Now you've set me off wondering if a programme on fishing had been screened in Perth, an appropriate title would be "Salmonchanted Evening"?? :doh

As Paul and tiN will already be aware, Perth lies on the banks of the River Tay - famous for its salmon fisheries. The rest, I'll leave you to unravel yourselves, readers ...

[JudyHon]

Hiya Sis Tin,

Thanks for the info, i'm sure hubby will love it.

We watched that monday night when he was in Thailand. I fell asleep at 6:00 p.m. and awoke at 9:00:D
Looking forward for the next venue which is Philippines blue waters:BouncyHappy:

[David House]

I watched it last night on Thailand and it was interesting and funny, although most of the fishing seemed to be in stocked lakes, with species from all over the place. I prefer to fish in wild places myself! Interestingly though Connie and I met a couple in Hong Kong last week who have bought a few large parcels of land in Siargao, where it will be next week. They are convinced in the next "in" place and will make huge profits in future years. I will be doubly interested to watch the programme now.

As a sea angler I really want to see what the Philippines can offer. When our new house is finished, in Minglanilla, in the middle of this year and we have settled in, I fully intend to get myself a suitable boat and get out there. Our house has direct beach access so I will lay a mooring and then bring the boat ashore when we are not there. I prefer to get a hull type that I am familiar with, like a Dory, or even an aluminium boat for lightless. Does anyone have experience of this locally? I realise that the "bancas" are much cheaper but apart from the fact that they are the traditional construction locally is there any reason why that design is preferable. I intend to work with the locals, and not upset them by "stealing" their fish, although in truth I don't really expect to actually "take" very much and will return anything undersized. However does anyone have any more information about regulations, licences etc?

Finally, if you too are a sea angler and want to join this project then let me know. Fishing is always better done with a mate or two. Makes the SMB go down better.

Hubby ia an angler too Dave. He taught me more about Fly Fishing. I have my own fishing gear now:BouncyHappy: He said women can catch better than men because we have some hormones that attracts the fish:omg:. He's eager to go fishing in the Philippines when he learned that I have friends in Calatagan Batangas, Puerto Galera and Nasugbu:D
You can do fishing without any rod license in the Philippines, Dynamite fishing is illegal but still many fishermen violates the law:doh. Bancas are commonly used because most small fishermen cannot afford to buy fishing boats. If you are wealthy, you can have your own fish pond at the sea. In fresh water like Laguna de Bay, you can see loads of fish ponds in the middle of the bay:D

Unlike in the UK, fishing boat can only catch limited amount of fish and there must be certain size to be caught:doh And to angler, they need to get rod license:D

[Ana_may365]

i really love fishing:xxgrinning--00xx3:everytime when we are in pattaya,thailand we rent a small fishing boat with a captain on it.we start fishing at 6 am til 5 pm and its true:BouncyHappy:i catch more fish than the others who are with us in the boat.its 87 in total:BouncyHappy:and at 3 o'clock the helper of the captain fried some of the fish that we catch.we have a rice,fruits and also i bought[b4 we go to the pier.where the boat are]a papaya pokpok.its a thai foods but only bit spicy.and we go to an island and we have a picnic there.:BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy:we always do this everytime when we are in pattaya:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Same as my husband, he is an angler. He tried to teach me the fly fishing method but i just cant get it. But i love the float fishing, using a spinning rod.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

In our next visit we are wanting to try go fishing there, but unfortunately i dont know any places where i can take him?:NoNo::NoNo:

But hey I will wait to see where Robson go and I might take him there the next time we visit home:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

Irobot..." Sunny...Different From The Rest..." :Britain:

It is nice to so many fisher / people here on line, I started fishing when I very little but stopped:doh I was a course fisherman , beachcaster/ boat fisherman we even had our own 18 foot boat in the Bristol Channel.But one of my regrets were I never did get into fly fishing...pouts.., but there again I did do my fair share of game shooting...

Ahhhh... Almost forgot I too have watched a lot of the sky fishing programs and some times watch them twice...hows sad that !!!... The extreme fishing programs are interesting, the one which made me smile was on one he finished the day off by beachcasting for sharks and the bloke he was fishing with said anything under 6 to 7 foot is a tiddler and must be thrown back....Yikes...:yikes:.

Any ways.... Tight Lines ...Phil...

for the first time my husband catched the fish last year, he thought he catch a big fish but when he pulled the line it was only 3inches big hehe.

[Tawi2]

I was fishing in Pinas 2 weeks ago,in polomolok at Dolores,only small catfish maybe 1lb in weight.I fished in Bungsmaran/bungsamlan where Robson green fished and which featured in the Thailand "Extreme fishing" program,biggest fish that day was a 34kg pla-buk(siamese catfish)Ana,next time your in Pattaya Jomtien fishing park is a good place to go,plenty of fish,never blanked there once :xxgrinning--00xx3:Best fishing I did in Pinas was in Sulu&Jolo with the Badjao catching Trevally but the biggest fish I ever saw landed were in Gensan at the Tuna ports several weeks ago,real monsters,will be interesting to see if Robson goes after those?:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Tawi2]

Just found this pic of the small cat-fish in Dolores resorts stock-ponds,and a pawikan some guys caught in Zambo,highly illegal to catch turtles according to DENR friends,but the eggs were also on sale in Zambo market.

[Tawi2]

Selling the fish in the market place at the beginning he said 200 "Pesetas" :Erm:Has pinas a new currency :Erm:

[tiN]

I was expecting him going to different places but he just stayed in Siargao. And he havent catch a good fish. :rolleyes:

It is just to show also how bad dynamite fishing and the fish gone all missing:NoNo::NoNo:

Poor sea :doh:doh

And knowing how much the people rely on fish to eat there does seem to be a lack of them, how could they cope if a miminum size was orderd to build the sise up though :Erm:
Mick.

[Tawi2]

It would be impossible to implement a size restriction Mick,how can anyone tell a man with 8 kids the 9 ounce fish he is catching are too small to keep and he should release them even though his kids are hungry?Turtles are protected there yet I saw turtle eggs for sale in Zambo and pawikan shells everywhere :NoNo:

[pennybarry]

Dont forget the Extreme Fishing tomorrow at 9pm channel five :Hellooo:

I tried to watch it although I was too sleepy:doh What a beautiful sea but seems only few fish left. :bigcry::bigcry:Poor Robson, he looks really hungry waiting for any fish to eat:doh
Wish the sanctuary will help Siargao:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Are Politicians there busy for election 2010?

No!:D Some old folks still used spanish term for peso as peseta:D

[Tawi2]

Thats true Penny,but Robson is in his mid 40's,not exactly tigulang,and neither does he speak chabacano :icon_lol:
