When El Nido was still relatively undiscovered 2 decades ago...me and my dad would go trolling. Easiest fishing of my entire life. Throw the hooks overboard. Wait a few minutes and then catch multiple (yes multiple) fat tunas! Those days are gone...the tuna are all fished out.

But id like to try rod fishing.

pero nasa bohol ka ngayon?
kahit hindi mo na siguro lagyan ng fresh shrimps yan, paano ba setup mo bro? bottom/sinker?
try mo kaya cast then retrieve gamit yan shrimp swim baits mo, or jerk/crank baits. mukhang heavy naman yan rod and reel mo eh. hindi ko lang alam kung meron blue/jack fish pag nag surf fishing dito sa pinas.

Bottom pag surf fishing. Kung ako yan live shrimp gagawin kong bait.

Mahirap mag lure casting sa ganyan kahabang rod, abang lang talaga yan.

ano ba ideal rod para sa surf lure casting, mga 6 footer lang?

sarap siguro kung ganito kakapal ang isda sa beach natin. look at this guy smashing blue and jacks with a popper, yung isa jerk bait yata gamit nya;

Maikli pa rin yan 6' for surf casting.

Mahirap kasi mag lure fishing pag sa surf hinde mo makita eh lalo na popper gagamitin...swerte lang yan sa Video dahil kumakagat saka maraming isda. Can you imaging doing that here the whole day Na bihira lang isda.

Subic before meron then sa Verde islang Batangas mga GT. Popper din ginagamit wala na rin ngayon.

Ewan ko kung meron pa rin sa Calatagan ngayon nahuhuking GT. Naalala ko dati isang Japanese nakahuli ng 60kgs or 100kgs na GT sa Calatagan. Sobrang laki. Half day before niya nasampa sa bangka.

Giant trevally (talikitok). One of the hardest fighting fish, if your gear is not up to par, warak ang reel mo dahil pag humila ng linya yan kakabahan ka dahil kayang ubusin yun linya.

For me pinaka maganda nakahuli ng gt sa Calatagan dahil Sandy bottom kahit tumakbo ng tumakbo walang sasabihin corals or mga bato.
