Our latest fishing trip to Chiang Mai was planned with an overnight stay at the Queen sirikit dam followed by two nights at Dream lake fishing resort. After arriving at the train station in Chiang mai early afternoon and transfering to our bungalow at Dream lake for some afternoon fishing, it was not long before the action started. Yes with a great "hook up" resulting in a trip to the Chiang mai hospital for surgical removal of a VMC hook complete with barb from one very unlucky finger.
About a year on and were still at it. No not that, were talking about fishing! Why fishing in Thailand? Well take a look at these amazing photos to see what you can find if you venture outside of the put and take fishing parks of Bangkok. A recent trip out to a medium sized reservoir in southern Thailand made for a great day and the opportunity of a test session with a brand new lure called the Mango Jack Flash bait.
We have not had time to fish much our self's this month only fitting in a couple of short sessions although they have been productive Sean and I had a nice Red Tail each weighing 16 kgs & 18kgs playing both at the same time, yours truly also landed a nice brace of feather backs at 7kgs & 5 kgs, I also sneaked a rod out while working by the lake & winkled out a 19 kg Siamese Carp.
The Arapaima (Arapaima gigas) is a big fish. Indeed a very big fish, especially for a freshwater species. But is the Arapaima, or Pirarucu as it is called in South America really the largest freshwater fish in the world, and how big can it actually grow?
Three months ago, I sent an email to a big bunch of angling friends of mine worldwide telling about a new destination we had just found at that time. Since, we have angled that lake for 43 sessions with visiting anglers, surveying at the same time its potential with various fishing methods and baits.
We have been blessed again with a new catch report and some new photos of our own Maniac Saltwater popper lures in action overseas. These latest action photos were sent to us by a very happy chap indeed. Paul Drollinger bought some Maniac popper lures from MF Tackle a few months back for his trip to Panama. Obviously a very succesfull and enjoyable fishing trip judging by these Cubera Snapper pictures.
Mango revolutionary pike flies are built on the same principal as Mango lures with life like actions and durability. The combination of high tech manufacturing and proven catches create the strongest, most effective tied fly on the market today. Ok its called a pike fly but that by no means should make you think this fly is not a perfect all rounder. Try this fly for Bass, Barramundi, Muskie and Snakehead fishing.
We are back again with another piece of exclusive fishing action direct from Gillhams fishing resort. In our last report from the said fishing lake details were still not clear as to whether Fly or Lure fishing would be allowed at this new fishing lake near Thailand's happening beach resort of Ao nang and Krabi town. Well we now have an answer for you and a bunch of amazing photos to back it up.
