Sea Fishing In Prachuab

[TenDreams]

Hi,

I am sea fishing off the coast of Prachuab (south of Hua Hin) from the beach or jetty, and so far have only ever pulled in puffer fish. Does anyone have any advice on how I can catch something edible, preferably sea bass? I am a beginner.

Thanks.

you will never catch a "sea bass" in the sea. They are not found in the sea. They are "farmed" in vast numbers and they actually live in estuaries.

My advice if you can't speak Thai, is get someone you know or that lives near where you stay, to ask one of the local fisherman to take you out. You may have to cough up a few hundred baht, but shouldn't be more than that. We went out with a local guy a couple of years back and caught a few nice fish. Whether it was all the beer I drank back then, or advancing old age, I can't remember what kind they were. I do remember that they tasted good though! The boat was only around 20' long and the guy was happy to share our beer, not charge us. Stank pretty bad though we soon got used to it.Much better chance for a decent fish than you will ever have fishing off the beach.
