Freshwater Ray Fishing

[markt7081]

Hi Guys,

I know that you can catch huge rays from the Ban Pakong River Chachoengsao .

But for a local farang, the day trip prices from the tour companies are a bit steep, at arount 9,000 baht.

I understand thats good value for a holiday maker but I dont need transport or packed lunch etc.

What I could probably do with is a local guide with a boat.

Does anyone know of such a person?

Has anyone else fished for them?

Anyone interested in coming along?

Cheers Mark.

I am very interested in going.

Also interested in this. Might be a nice trip to do once my family arives here in November. But might have to scout it out first.

I am not as interested in hooking one of those huge rays but the water looks clean & I would love to know what other species can be caught in this river.

I am used to going after crappie with minnows.

I won't eat carp or catfish & thus not real interested in catching them.

iI saw those rays on discovery channel; wingspan about 3 meters, they can fight.

I always catch and release, i don't eat fish that i catch. In fact i eat only a few kinds of fish. I would be happy to catch one of those big ones. I saw series on it river monsters i believe it was called.
