The Philippines like most pacific islands are abundant with many varieties of fish. Over the years the Philippines had gotten a bad reputationin  the sport angling scene, due in part to the illegal fishing techniques and that of over fishing. Although, that has been more than a decade ago. Thankfully, the Philippine government, along with all the provincial municipalities, local fishermen, and sport fishing clubs have taken an assertive effort at promoting practical and legal fishing techniques. Laws are now in place to protect our fishing heritage and culture, plus the fact that many areas are promoting the establishment of artificial reefs. Along with the fact that many local governments are doing their part in enforcing the protection of marine sanctuaries.

Another part of the misconception that sport fishing in the Philippines is not good is due to the fact that many foreigners that come into the Philippines charter with an inexperienced  company that have no idea on how, when and where to catch the fish. Most tourists will visit a local wharf and charter a boatman that in actuality just someone who's sole experience is transporting passengers. Unfortunately, when visitors to the Philippines don't catch fish, they fall back upon the over-fishing line of reasoning. When in fact, you go to any Wet Market, you will see tons of fish, everyday!
