Hello All, My wife (who is from dumaguete) and I will be visiting Dumaguete in March/April for about 30 days, my question is this: Is it possible to buy fishing rods, line, hooks etc... in dumaguete? I will bring a reel but I would rather buy all the rest when I arrive. Interested in fishing from pier, shore/offshore , salt or fresh water -if any fishermen here I look forward to hearing from you or any suggestions you may have. I am not concerned with the return trip as we will leave all of the gear for her brother's to use. Thanks, Joe
There is a shop in Dumaguete who sells fishing gear (opsimas), they no nothing about fishing equipment in there so tend to stay away. There is a guy on here called mike Alano you may want to get in touch with or when you get here I know a couple guys who go out a couple times a month on a boat with some success.
I bought some golf clubs a while back and it has a huge fishing rod inside of the bag (extends out to 12ft or so). I have absolutely no idea what the hell it is or what it's worth. Want to get rid of it. I'll go get some pictures of it and post.
bring a good reel and a supply of hooks ,lines, n traces rods can be purchased here . good luck , i have found they have eaten everything in the sea except the boats and every thing in the sky except the planes
LOL...'everything in the sky' - but it's really not that funny. In recent years done several trips to Bacolod....don't recall seeing any birds beyond a couple - what I believe were sparrows - didn't get close enough to identify....I suppose Darwin was helping them.....In fact, in my travels in the islands last decade or so...I've hardly seen any birds....anywhere.....I doubt if it was ten total......Just another item on a long list of ecological disasters in the Philippines. Needs some work....
Lots of birds around our house, sparrows, kukuks, pigeons, and occasionally sunbirds, owls, and eagles. Larry
Like Larry mentioned there are birds here,we just back from zambongita area out exploring, we saw plenty of birds inc osprey,and bee eaters,shrikes and bulbuls to name a few! They got to learn to stay away from the locals though
