Local Handline Fishing Meets Hey Skipper Rod 🇵🇭🎣

During our trip in the Philippines, our local tour guide showed us how to create and use a traditional handline setup using simple, everyday materials. It was fast, practical, and something that has been passed down through generations of local fishermen.

In return, we shared our own setup and taught them how to use the Hey Skipper rod, showing how modern travel rods can also be effective, easy to use, and great for different fishing conditions.

It was a great exchange of skills, experience, and fishing culture from two different worlds. Different tools, same passion for fishing. 🇵🇭🎣

DIY Fishing Gear in the Philippines Actually Works 🇵🇭🎣

Preparing for a fishing trip in the Philippines turned out to be very different from what we expected. Instead of unpacking rods and tackle boxes, we found ourselves building our fishing gear from scratch. With just some bamboo, fishing line, hooks, and pieces of metal used as sinkers, a local fisherman quickly put together a traditional hand line setup in just a few minutes.

What amazed us most was how simple, efficient, and effective it was. No expensive gear, no fancy technology, just resourcefulness and generations of fishing knowledge passed down over time. These handmade setups are incredibly affordable, easy to make, and still catch plenty of fish.

It was a great reminder that fishing isn't always about having the latest equipment. Sometimes the most effective gear is the one you can build yourself with a little creativity and local know-how. 🇵🇭🎣

SIZE doesn't MATTER with this FISH! 🎣

Before hitting the water in the philippines, we grabbed breakfast from a roadside spot, got our fishing gear ready, and prepared for a day of fishing the local way.

There's something special about starting the morning with good food, simple gear, and the excitement of not knowing what you'll catch.
One of our catches was a Bisugo (Threadfin Bream), a popular fish in the Philippines that's perfect for Sinigang, a traditional sour soup, or simply fried and served with rice. It may not be a giant fish, but that's one thing we love about fishing in the Philippines. Size isn't everything. Many smaller fish are excellent eating and are commonly kept for fresh meals.

Different places, different fishing cultures, but the same goal: catching fresh fish and making great memories. 🇵🇭🎣🍲

Traditional Filipino Fishing Blew Our Minds 🎣

Traveling from the U.S. to the Philippines gave us the chance to experience a completely different side of fishing.

We visited a small fishing village and learned how local fishermen have been catching fish for generations using simple, traditional methods. No fancy electronics, no expensive gear, just skill, experience, and a deep understanding of the water.

It was a reminder that successful fishing isn't always about having the latest equipment. Sometimes it's about reading the conditions, understanding fish behavior, and learning from people who have spent their lives on the water.

~last week on hey skipper~

our adventures in the Philippines continued with an exploration of Pacifico, a small, slow paced town on the island of siargao. we came here with big hopes of giant trevally from the shore and we followed leads through the jungle, climbed cliffs, and rode around the whole island in search of them.

Surf Fishing Hack: Homemade Chum Rig 🎣

We actually caught a pompano using a DIY chum bucket we made from a medicine bottle while surf fishing. It slowly leaks out bait scent and bits into the water, which helps bring fish like pompano and other inshore species closer to where you’re casting.

It’s honestly a pretty solid add-on for surf fishing because instead of just hoping, you’re actually pulling fish into your zone. With the current doing its thing, the scent spreads and it can really help keep fish around longer and boost your chances of getting bites.

The Cheapest Chum Rig That Actually Catches Fish 🎣

DIY chum rig using a simple medicine bottle and it actually worked! We turned an everyday bottle into a makeshift chum dispenser to attract fish in the surf, and it brought results fast. It helped bring in bait and we ended up hooking a pompano using it.

But like most DIY setups, it wasn’t perfect. After the first fish, the lid got busted and the rig didn’t survive the session. That’s fishing though, trial and error always teaches you something new.

Simple idea, real results, and a lesson learned on the water. 🎣

A simple Catch, Learn, Cook and we're RIGHT about this FISH!

Black Drum in the surf on our very own 11ft Hey Skipper travel rod! These fish are powerful bottom feeders known for their hard fights and are commonly found around beaches, jetties, inlets, and structures where they feed on crabs, shrimp, clams, and other shellfish.

A lot of anglers overlook Black Drum and some even label them as “trash fish,” but smaller Black Drum can actually make great table fare when prepared properly. After our experience in Orlando trying a Black Drum dish that completely changed our perspective, we decided to bring that idea home and cook our own catch.

From reading the beach, hooking into a strong A simple Catch, Learn, Cook! surf fish, and turning it into dinner, this is one of the best parts of fishing. Learning something new and seeing a species from a different perspective. 🎣🍽️

The “TRASH FISH” that deserves more RESPECT!

Not all fish deserve the label “trash fish.” It often comes down to how the fish is prepared and cooked. Black Drum is a perfect example. Some anglers overlook it, but prepared the right way, it can be surprisingly good on the table.

When we visited Orlando and stopped by Antoine’s Restaurant, we tried their Gulf Fish Almondine, featuring lightly fried Black Drum served over onion rice and topped with butter-roasted almonds. The flavors worked together perfectly and completely changed the way we looked at this fish.

Sometimes it’s not about the fish. It’s about the chef, the preparation, and giving a catch a chance before judging it. One meal can completely change your perspective. 🎣
