"Have you tried to FARM FISH?"

When I was still working in one of the provinces in the Philippines (Dagupan City), I used to dream about farming milkfish at one of the ponds here. It is well-known for local people to have this kind of fish. Through the years being in this place, there is no chance of doing it. For the reason that I am so overloaded with my patients (in or out) in the local hospital at that time. "Have you ever tried to go fishing?" "Do you like fishing in your place?"

My husband likes to fish but he throws the fish back, we don't eat them.

I think it is fun to go fishing. I had seen some people who are so good at it. Why not eat them?

I haven't tried fishing yet, I hope I can try fishing or maybe I can do that with my son someday once I've been a father.

I think it would be a fun time with your son. Then, you can have a picnic.

@tech40 I used to do this before with my relatives in the province. We sometimes go to the riverside.

My family used to go fishing and camping when I was a kid. I have fished a few times as an adult usually with kids. Fishing with kids is a mess of tangled lines.

I am so jealous that you had tried this. I hope I can do these with my niece and nephew in the future.

@Shavkat The main things to remember when fishing with kids is to not let anyone get snagged with a fishhook, and don't let anyone drown. With very little kids, it is enough to tie a couple of nuts to the end of the line. I hope you have fun with them.

I used to fish with my father, but made him put the bait on the hooks. E I go on fishing boats with my grandson or friends, but just sunbathe. I prefer to have my fish in a restaurant.

I am glad that you had experienced it. I was hoping that I can go fishing with an expert. It is not necessary to eat them though.

@Shavkat Fishing is not for me, but it's fun being out on the water or in the fresh air.

@DianneN I agree. For me, I could try to do it once and had the experience moment only.

I did. When I was young, we visited my Father in the Penal home where there is a large pond of Tilapia. We ask if we like to go fishing and we did, I caught 3 big Tilapia and I had ny Father cook it. I really don’t like Tilapia because of the mud smell of it but Father cook it deliciously.

@JustBhem I had seen that. I think it would be faster to catch fish.

How did you catch them? Are you using the fishing rod and bait?

It is nice that you had experienced it. I do agree that most fish in the supermarket is being farmed out.

I never did this, too. Milkfish is called by the local people as 'bangus.' They are commonly seen in Dagupan City of my country. Image Credit: lovepilipinas.com

I have the same thinking, too. If I am going to visit my grandma's place, I will try to do it.

I hope you can still do it with your son. Perhaps he is so busy now, right?
