We Only Caught Small Red Tilapia

We went fishing on Sunday afternoon, this happened right after the afternoon church service at Cabugan, part of the countryside. The weather was nice and clear so we thought it was a perfect time to go out fishing in the fishpond which we had visited a few months ago.

So, let me share with you how that afternoon went, you can also watch the video to see the action of the said afternoon getaway!

We arrived at the Escala fishpond around four in the afternoon, again, with a good weather, we walked into the area and started looking for some makeshift fishing rods. The hooks were already old and rusty but we still gave it a try. We didn't bring any bait so the son's owner who is also our church friend went to look for snails or worms around the fishpond. Thankfully, it was easy to find and so my husband started throwing the hook into the water.

While the others were having fun fishing, some of the young people decided to ride the bamboo raft. We rode this one before and it is still fun to go rafting along the calm water of the fishpond. We could see some red Tilapias just swimming around too.

What we caught were small ones, they were pitiful to see being caught but we have to put them into our pail because they will still die if we put them back into the water.

My husband had so much fun fishing! He didn't want to go home but I had to insist because the fish has to be cooked as we will be having it for dinner.

Here's our faces before having dinner at the Escala residences. We were welcomed by our dear church friends and they even served us with the Tilapia fish we caught, they were deep fried and good!

At our friend's house, the Tilapia which we caught were cleaned up and cooked. I was surprised because the small ones were tastier than the big ones, I liked it crispy and the small ones were crunchier than the big ones. We had fun with our fellowship and we played the card game UNO as well after dinner!
