Ajing (Philippines version)
After almost a decade of angling, I found light game fishing the most challenging. It took me several months to study, better understand the concepts and gather contributing factors to a successful session.
Some might say that it is easy or it’s only for kids as we are catching smaller fishes. It is the other way around. Only committed and open minded anglers are able to understand and refine their skills throughout this category.
Tackle, spots, weather, Moon phase, tides, water Temperature, lighting, line, Jighead weights, type of plastics, type of approach and bait presentation and many more contributing factors play a vital role.
I got my first big eye scad after 5 months since I began light game (around April 2024). Some might experience catching right away with proper gear and mentoring, I did it the longer and harder way though. Along the way I met some people who I can call mentors in the game and became good fishing pals.
I am now also aiming to teach this stuff to those interested people who are promising. I am not a master in this field but I am hoping that sharing wisdom and experience will lead to a better angling community and garner more responsible anglers. ❤️🎣
