Number 4: Siargao Gamefishing


Game fishing, more popularly known as Deep sea fishing, involves different fishing methods in deep waters, usually at the middle of the ocean in search for big game like different species of tuna, swordfish, wahoo, durado, barracuda, etc.

It was the Valentine’s week and as we almost always do, we decided to go out of town to avoid the Valentine’s day craziness of the metro.

We went around Surigao and Agusan and hopped from one destination to another. We saved the best for last though. The last in our list was game fishing in Siargao! I was anxious the night before. There was a storm in Siargao and we weren’t sure if we could go out fishing the next morning. Our boat captain told us that the waves were enormous. I tried not to keep my hopes high.

The next morning, our captain gave us a GO! Although it was sunny, the water was nevertheless very choppy. It was an amazing boat ride through waves of mammoth proportions. It is hard to envision it here in my photos and even on the videos that I took.

We had to wait 30 minutes in between hits. Some might find it boring. We, on the other hand, almost did not notice the long wait. We caught several big ones. The anticipation and excitement was intoxicating. Man they sure can give a fight!

We caught too much for the two of us so we had one big fish cooked and ate it for our late lunch and sold the rest to the resort owner.

I wish I could have brought a sharp sushi knife, kikoman, ginger, lime and wasabi. I’ll bring them in February. We loved it there so much that we decided to spend valentine’s week again in the island. Hoping to catch more then!!
