How long has it been? I cannot remember the time but the picture of how painstakingly we endured the heat of the sun going from pond to pond hoping to catch some fish, Tatay and I, is still vivid in my mind. I must have been talking and asking of questions then which scared the fish away. (Looking back now, I've been scaring fishes then already. Lol!)
Since I have been acquainted with the boys from Bacolod, I have long since expressed my great interest into renewing the experience. Opportunities have been presented before me many times but the chance of finally doing it happened just this week.
While our Muslim brothers are celebrating Eid Mubarak, we got busy and scheduled some interview and for a quick product training.
Since only three out of seven hopefuls showed up, we finished early and the free time that it brought us was just enough for some relaxation, i.e., fishing.
Toto and JD brought Kz and myself to MC restaurant which is located about a kilometer away behind the regional hospital. At four, the parking lot was full of cars, and the benches on one side of the pond teemed with people of all sizes. There were groups of kids, teenagers, families, couples, Koreans and some serious enthusiasts who even brought their own gear.
The mechanics was simple. The resort provides the fishing poles and bait. The customer pays for all the fish caught.
I made a production of hooking my own bait to the tilapia's great delight. As a result, I lost all of my baits on two occasions. But that did not prevent me from proudly brandishing two biggies before I had my fill of waiting and pulling. Among the three of us, we caught about a kilo and a half of fish which we had the staff grilled for a very early dinner.
