Co Jordan
is one of the more popular pond fishing spots in Cebu
today. It is located in Tayud,
Consolacion, Cebu. To get there by public transport, ride a
jeepney that will get you to SM Consolacion and embark just before the bridge a few meters from the front of the mall. Take a tricycle
and you’ll arrive there in a few minutes.

If fishing is your trip, they have tilapia and bangus in
which even noobs can catch within a minute, provided it is feeding time
(between 4- 6pm) and you are on the right spot.
You don’t need to have your own expensive rods as they have bamboos
already set up. Rental for the rod is
cheap at P10 and you have to buy the dough bait at P10 pesos each. The net where you place your catch are free
for use. You can also ask from them fish food pellets so that fishing will be
much easier for you.
Some people have also caught other fish species but they are
not the usual specie found in the dining table. So, it's better you release
them alive if you do not know them. Please
don’t massacre them. I even caught a
giant crab which weighed 3/4 kilo. The
poor creature got entangled in my line so it was purely accidental. I released
it alive upon learning that it costs P500/kilo. Bangus and tilapia caught are
sold at 160 per kilo if uncooked. If you
want them cooked, it becomes 200 per kilo
They do not encourage catch and release. You'll see them frown if you won't buy your
catch. You can also choose your own spot
even if you not renting a cottage. You
can stay on the unoccupied huts or go farther away if you feel like it.
I have seen Co Jordan in its early days, when the access
road was not yet completed and there were no other huts sprouting in the place.
However, it has evolved more into a restaurant and family videoke place today,
and fishing has just become an added attraction. Cottages can be rented from 200 to 500 pesos
for 3 hours. They charge an additional
amount if you exceed the time limit. If
you rent the biggest cottage, you have a videoke all for yourself. Of course, you need 5-peso coins to play the
songs you want.
The food is good and the prices are affordable. They don't just sell bangus and tilapia but
they also have pork, shrimp, talaba and even tangigue and quite a good range of
food choices.
Co Jordan
is the most convenient place whenever wifey and I itch for a short fishing
trip. We usually go there on Sundays
from 4 - 6pm and choose the spots far from the annoying sounds of the videoke.
Is there a corkage for bringing foods not bought in Co Jordan?
