It was a good day out. The weather was kind. It would have been better if the captain and crew member (local Thai’s) could speak English…. even a little. At the end of the days fishing, They were unable to communicate that our anchor had snagged a length of old fishing net on the bottom which prevented the crewman from pulling up the anchor. This resulted in us having to pull it along the bottom - with the net - until we reached an island some kms away at idle speed (with me none the wiser of what going on nor the game plan). Only once we were in shallow enough water for the captain to dive over and cut it free were we able to go back to harbour. Communication is key! The fishing…. I hadn’t foreseen spending the day catching pretty reef fish. My King Mackerel was the real bonus though.

Getting the anchor stuck in an old fishing net was a bad luck. Great that you got a handsome King Mackerel at the end of the day. Thank you for fishing with us. I apologize for the staff poor English skills.
Pictures says it all.
Jari communicated well before the trip and collected us from apartment to go to the pier. Experienced and very friendly Captain(s) . Good local knowledge and took us to several places where there were always fish.
Caught a lot of small fish while waiting for bigger bites and so were always busy reeling something in and then around 10 minutes before we were about to head back in hooked the black marlin. Fantastic catch
Even if we had not gotten the marlin it is still highly recommended
Huge thanks to Jari and his team

Thank you for fishing with us. I hope you had a good time. 7 long Tom fishes up tells me that you really are the 1st class fisherman. See you again !
From the moment I phoned . Everything was set up , from the date I wanted to fish to sandwiches I wanted for lunch . I can’t fault the communication between the first phone call and the actually fishing day ,may is not high season for sea fishing in Thailand but having said that ! The captain and crew worked very hard to find us some good sport .we were picked up at about 7.30 am from hotel and Taken straight to the boat ’ a trip of about 45 minutes bought us to our first spot were we fished for some bait fish , good sport in its self on light gear , giging , once we had enough bait fish and the tide started to move we moved to a small reef to fish for long tom ( which I know as alligator gar ) With a light wait rod and 20lb line with 12”” wire trace and 3 single hooks about 1’’ apart ! First cast I was into a fish of about 1.2 m Stayed there for about 2hours and caught 3 fish till the tide stopped ! You need a good run of water for long tom to bite ! Once tide stopped we then went on to see if we could find some King mackerel ! Put out a few live bait fish on heavy gear but no kings ! Bought lines back in only to find one had been bitten for head down , so unlucky , from there we went to a other small reef were we had a few more long tom all about 1.m long . But all in all a very good day out Thanks to the crew
