THE WATER WORLD

Gol-gol Imagine fishes marching to your stomach! It is a no-miss method. So sure that we even bring bahaw, tuno and cooking parapernilias with us going to the fishing ground. Mount a net (we use mosquitero) in the middle of the river where water is knee-deep. Sink it with stones and attach banana and/or coconut leaves on each side and anchor them on the river-sides. Looking up-stream, your trap should look like an inverted V with the net at the center. A hundred or so meters downstream, form a line, side-to-side, then start stirring the water moving upstream. Leave no stone unturned. Fish, when they move, it's upstream. And since both sides of the river are blocked, they go towards the direction of the net. Half kerosene-gas container (taro) is easy in one round (tak-tak). Anga, ilabo, iswil, pait-pait.. bisa'g unsa basta dili molusot sa moskitiro, kuridas!. There is no method so simple yet so effective than this. We then leave the preparation to our no-nonsense chefs. Picnic time! We then wash and dry the mosquitero for use tonight. With stomach full, swimming is a good idea to celebrate the days catch.
