kawapower Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There is only 1 place to fish on Phuket and that is far to expensive, better to arrange a trip North where the fishing is fantastic and a fraction of the cost of Phuket fishing park, Phuket is now geared up for tourists!! as far as I know you can get a discounted price if you live here, not sure how much that is though.

kawapower Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I used to pay 600bht for the day and caught some great fish, far to many Russians and far to many Pacu!!!! it has Been over a year since I have been there so things may have changed, well yes the price has gone through the roof!!

KarenBravo Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 What's the point fishing in a fishing park? No skill, stealth, or cunning needed. The main fish stocked are cat-fish and snake-head which figuratively throw themselves on the hook compared to Carp, Tench and Bream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you suggest people fish, why should it matter if as you say the fish throw themselves at the hook, it's a sport,it's fun but not at tourist prices!! Only the very dedicated would want to sit on a bank all day not catching a thing, the majority want a day of arm aching action at a reasonable price, reasonable price is not available on Phuket!!

The OP said carp fishing where you might get a single bite all day. Where skill and presentation of the bait is all. You want "arm aching action" with no skill involved, go sea fishing.

Where is the good arm aching sea fishing around Phuket? the majority of people will not want to go sea fishing!! so for the people who would like to go fresh water fishing where do you suggest? as for the op there is good Carp fishing(not here on Phuket,you can catch many other species while you are waiting for the elusive Cahoo, no Need to sit all day and maybe catch nothing!!

patongphil Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 In defence of Phuket Fish park I went to visit the other day and in the 15 odd mins I was there saw 2 redtail, one pacu and a nice sized carp caught by the only angler there. Prices are ridiculous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If patience and skill are not your thing and it's sheer volume of fish caught that matters, then it sounds just the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Anyone know if the many ex-tin mining lakes have fish? I know the lake at Land & House has fish as there is a young monk that feeds them every day. I have seen occasionally people fishing on lakes, but, for the Thais, fresh water fishing isn't as popular as sea fishing. Presumably because fresh water fish don't taste as good.

Yes skill is needed to land the huge fish contained within these lakes, landing a 50 kg fish is not easy, if you are inexperienced you will lose the fish, you are able to fish these lakes and still use your skill!!!

kawapower Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I doubt there are any fish in the Tin mine lakes, the local Thai's would have emptied them long ago, the only lakes that contain fish are the ones with security guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawapower Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Thanks yes i have contacted this place, looks good , its really expensive though It's worth making the trip to Cha Am or BSR(Bangkok) plenty of big fish, great place's with good food and most importantly cheap fishing, yes it cost's to get there but it is well worth it, I am off to Cha Am soon, the fishing is awesome!!

Lite Beer Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 A number of petty bickering posts have been removed. The next one will earn a holiday long enough to enable plenty of carp fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuripot Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 As previously mentioned Cha Am fishing park would be recommended but also Gillhams down at Krabi is worth looking at. It is not cheap but it is superb venue with World class Fishing and is not a tourist rip off. Type the venue into You Tube for some examples . The average size of the Siamese carp at this venue is now 50 lbs + with several going over 100 lbs apart from the exotics like Arapaima etc . A more affordable venue than BSR would be Wan Chai( no, not Hong Kong ) fishing park near Bangkok where the rate is around 100 baht a day although this venue is primarily Mekongs. The facilities are basic however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If patience and skill are not your thing and it's sheer volume of fish caught that matters, then it sounds just the ticket. As opposed to the millions of folks that plant their butt on a seat to "participate" in a football match each week? And how do you explain the popularity of the world's oldest profession when it's so much more challenging and rewarding to find your own in the wild? Give you a hint- it may not be about the fish....
