DAKLIS: A COLLABORATIVE FISHING TECHNIQUE
A Research Presented to the Unlad Dunong Center
University Of Saint Louis, Tuguegarao City
By: FERDINAND N. CORTEZ - 2014
.
One of the most popular fishing techniques in Buguey and in Gonzaga is the "Daklis." The peak season starts early in March, when the waters’ color becomes tropic blue, and ends mid May, when rains and thunderstorm would make thesea turbulent. It is also unique, because it involves a whole barangay in its peak season.
.
The spirit of bayanihan is felt, as young and old participate in the pulling of the ropes and nets before the purse (bubo). The bubo contains the bulk of the catch. Sometimes it includes small sharks and stingrays. Most often, tons of dilis and anchovies trapped in the net or are contained in the purse become the fruit of the days effort. These are sold to waiting compradoras who would in turn sell it in Aparri or in Tuguegarao. Either Barangay folks who participated in the “pulling” could dry these anchovies in the sun (Daing), or they make them as the flavored bagoong. (Caviar).One recipe is cooked from an earthen jar, covering palmfuls of anchovies with banana leaves. Another is by just mixing salt, vinegar or calamansi and ginger. This is known as kilawen (eaten raw).
.
The daklis is a fragmented whole. First, the officials are organized, then the boatmen and the netmen. This is the start of an organizational set up,
starting from the amo to the bumbero (rope men).
.
The nets are formed in U shape, with the size of holes as quarter inch. Anchovies (munamon) measure 2.5 in. long and .75 cm. in width. The size of the net holes is ideal for this fish. The net is then attached to a rope more than 100 meters long (except the purse) by a pakawan. The pakawan is a sturdy, seasoned bamboo where the Y shaped rope holds the net in place. The whole assembly is deposited in a boat, supported by planks of wood fore and aft. The keel is flat, so it could contain the net and the men.
.
In the early days, the boats were big. The boatmen even used oars (lapag) or sails (layag) as they scout for schools of fish. But as lumber and timber became scarce,and the use of motorboats in pulling the boat containing
the net became prevalent, the gargantuan boats became smaller. Still, the mast is not removed, for the person good in scouting the pangen (school of fish) has to stand elevated by this mast. The boats of the daklisan are elaborately painted, with names of the boat or owners on both sides. Barangay folks could then identify the owner by the color it uses. If there is a very big catch, they raise a flag, thus letting the people know either they could try casting nets again or stop for the day off. The daklisan can have at least three castings per day. The pull men (agguyod) would walk the shore to where the boatmen cast the net.
