Calibato Lake

Calibato Lake sits in Laguna, Philippines and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Calibato Lake come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Striped snakehead

  Target areas with heavy cover such as vegetation or submerged logs, as snakeheads are ambush predators.

• For Nile tilapia
