Hanging out in Southern Cebu
by admin on Dec.20, 2009, under Cebu Sport Fishing
Michelle and I drove down to Moalboal this past weekend. We were invited to hang out with the gang at the Roxy Dance Hall for a Christmas party. We didn’t get to make the 2-hour drive from Cebu City to Moalboal till late but was able to make it there around 10PM.
We had fun, the food was great, the people were amusing. The bartender there must not be familiar with many of the cocktails and drinks because when I ordered a “screwdriver” I had to tell them the ingredients. (Vodka and Orange Juice). The drink that was served was not a typically screwdriver. For some reason she confused it for an Orange Shake and mixed it with Vodka…I guess I’ll call it the ‘Moal Boal Shaker’ from now on.
Afterwards, we drove the hour over to Oslob so I could visit some guests we had at the Fishing Lodge there. The weather was rough, strong winds blowing from the South South East causing some pretty choppy waters. That combined with the current made it difficult for trolling. They tried some deep bottom fishing at the artificial reefs (300+ meters) but the current was so strong it was even able to cause the 1-kilo sinkers to drift far from the boat, good thing they were using their big 11/0 sized electric reels. One of the guests said they noticed a big tuna in the water off the side of the boat…just too bad none were biting.
Even though the guests struck out this trip, they were still happy since Esta’s did a great job at hosting their stay and kept them (and me) filled with all the fantastic food. As I’ve always said…I mainly go to Oslob to eat, second to fish. So we took them back to Cebu City for a short Day Tour and stopped at a few of the places for souvenir’s and trinkets to take back home with them. Before heading to the airport they stopped in for a relaxing “Filipino Style” massage and are planning to come back so they can hit Siargao during bill-fish season early 2010.
One other thing to mention is that we were finally able to get a second boat for out charters! So now, Cebu Sport Fishing will now be able to have over-lapping fishing charters in Oslob. This new craft we have is also a diving boat, it’s large enough for 7-divers (7-fishermen w/ gear) and has a diesel motor capable of getting us to places like Siquior, Dumaguete and even Bohol for diving and fishing!
Diving in Oslob can be cool!
