Paul_QLD Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Just wondering does anyone on here do any offshore fishing, charter boat style, not game fishing, but more reef fishing? What we call here in Aussie land as bottom bashing, chasing reef fish, mackeral etc ...Have found a few places on Siargao Island, seems to be a tricky/inconvenient place to get to but doable on certain days by air and also can get there in a round about way via ferry. Any traveled to here before? What other places in Phils might be available for reef type fishing ... seems lots of diving available, but not much fishing - maybe because of the diving!

jpbago Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 They do bottom blasting here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_fishing One 1999 report estimated that some 70,000 fishermen (12% of the Philippines' total fishermen) engaged in the practice.
