SPORTS FISHING: A FULLFILLING ACTIVITY
Words by Paul Tie and Photo Courtesy Blue Sky Sport Fishing
There is nothing like the auxilirating feeling of a breeze and slight sea spray
in your face as you head out of the bay to that favorite fishing spot, for that
catch of catches. Then the thrill of reeling in the big one!
Well something like this should inspire others to
try their hand at sport fishing, which is always a
very challenging activity.
But be warned you have to have patience and
lots of it! With the distinct possibility of returning
home without a catch.
But let me tell you when you come up with a
waggling trophy on the end of your line, the
effort and the long hours of waiting that you have
exerted makes it all worthwhile.
This is the time when you suddenly realize that
Sports Fishing is not only a very challenging
activity, but is also very rewarding and fulfilling.
I must remind you that anyone planning to
get into this sport that our aim is not always to
catch the huge fish, but to enjoy the sport of the
challenge, the chase and the comradeship.
Some who try this sport don’t seem to realize is
a game that is actual not virtual as the computer
games like play station. Actual Sports such as
fishing are far better in both the psychological
and physical senses. And it also brings out the
best in every sportsman’s character. Unlike the
computer games there is no second chance
or extra life! This is the real deal; it is fun,
challenging, and a very fulfilling activity.
As an avid sportsperson and an avid angler
not only do you enjoy the challenge of the
sport, You also get to see the beauty of the
provinces surrounding the Philippine Islands,
but you also get to meet the local people,
learning their culture and heritage.
This makes it even more fulfilling as you learn
the vast knowledge of the local fishermen and
their way of life. How to catch the best fish and
surviving the challenge!
We could go on about the beauty of the idyllic
Philippine Islands But what we are trying to
say is that all this is there for you to see and
enjoy while enjoying the activity involved in
sports fishing, trying to catch some of the best
fish in these waters, like Trevally, Yellow Fin
Tuna, Sail Fish and Blue Marlin just to name a
few.
Nobody can ever guarantee you will catch a
fish every time you go out to try this wonderful
sport. But we can guarantee you a wonderful
fulfilling activity in the world of Sports Fishing.
