to make arrangements for hiring a boat and crew, you might inquire at the apo island port in malatapay; there's usually a lot of dive boats in queue for divers but i'm sure they don't all go out every day. you'd need to get there early (7/8 am) and you could inquire at the port ticket booth or talk to the crews who are hanging out under the mango tree on the pier. best to avoid wednesdays cuz wednesday is market day and the place is packed.

I see there are few guys here, who share the interest for fishing with rod and reel. You can PM me your phone number and we can make an appointment to meet in person and see if we "click" together. I would like to have a few new fishing buddies to in Dumaguete area. Next step is yours, cheers P.S. Pls text, my English is not perfect
I was in Santa Catalina fishing Dorado yesterday. Get one, lost one and lot of activity, high season to caught dorado just now. If anyone wants to go there, I have a number for a boatsman, his name is Joven 09355721173 best if your gf/wife or another person who speak Visayas call for you. it's small banka no high society haha. You can be 2 persons in a banka and if you are more, neighbors have boats too. I go with one of the neighbors today, he brings his 20 years old son, I'm sure he did that because he talks very well English.
I just check the phone number to Joven, that is the number he has given me. It's not the first time he changes the phone number, I will get info if the number still is in use. I try also call him where there is no connection, best call or text around dinner time. I will let you know if phone number still is in use
Jovens number 09355721173 is still in use, but text in Visaya is the best option. Many times his phone will be out of reach, best around dinner time. Let me know if you go there, of course, I'm curious about your catch
