Antique to host 1st int'l fishing tourney in May

The province of Antique gets to showcase its rich marine biodiversity when it hosts the 1st International Sports Fishing Tournament in May. “Sports fishing is another tourism product that we are promoting. When they go to Antique, they can experience fishing onboard a fishing boat,” said Flord Nicson Calawag, president of the Antique Eco-Tourism Association (AETA). The tournament, set on May 2-3, has two categories: amateur and professional anglers and registered municipal fisherfolk. Participants may use traditional trolling and bait fishing.
