Good Morning all, just a quick one!!
Has anybody any experience of fishing in Thailand? I am travelling to Jomtien, just South of Pattaya, and the good lady has agreed to me having a day out dangling!
Has anybody got any reccomendations (to do with fishing!) any boats that they have used? and roughly what price I would expect?

Many thanks

Get a decent truck




Find a lake with some big fish in it...




Catch one of the big fish (Alligator Gar)......






Release the fish safely and try and catch something else.....





Catch a fish that is hard to catch on a fly (Arapaima)....




Catch your breath, count to five and see what else you can catch. Hook in to another fish only to realise it's anothe Arapaima (cue shock from guide and lake owner!)......






Decide a day off is needed and do some of the touristy things. Like riding an elephant....



Go to the Bridge over the River Kwai...




Feel refreshed after a day off and drive deep in to the Thai jungle to a 30 mile long reservoir....





Blank in the jungle (despite lots of attacks on the fly!)


Decide to go chasing large Mekong Catfish. And catch lots - 30 in 12 hours day totalling 800lbs!...

Was in Thailand a few years back but the wife wasn't keen on me 'dangling' at all!

Did manage to get out on a fishing boat arranged by the hotel though

The wife caught and I blanked so one of us enjoyed it! Was a night fishing trip though so she couldn't see the rage all over my face

I hope when you say the wife caught, she only caught one, and a small one at that!!
I have been looking online, very little on there, so will have to take my chances, but shall let you know how it went upon my return!!
Thanks
