There’s a spot where I want to be on a day where clouds go by and the gentle fresh breeze will lull me while waiting for my catch.
It is where the fish bites…
Where Bangus and Talakitok get hooked…
And when I reel them in, they go straight to the grill or the frying pan
Then I can hear the sizzle…
And I’ll be looking forward to dining on my freshly caught fish …
Oh, the Spot!
