Yes, right below Burma/Myanmar funnily enough I've seen guys crossing over from Ranong on videos and reports. There's a couple of good spots dotted about the place, in the Andaman and in the Gulf of Thailand. Fishing close to the Similan nature reserve is also supposed to be good for fish like GTs. I realise your asking about that specific post but just letting you know about BB in case you hadn't heard of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I always liked to do a little math on the fishing reports in the Southern California newspapers back when I lived there. It usually went something like this: 13 anglers onboard, 156 fish caught in 4 days of fishing. A little quick math would boil down to 12 fish per angler, or 3 fish a day- or 1 fish for every 8 man-hours. But the pictures of 156 fish lined up sure looked appealing... If It was a trip with a bunch of buddies and we enjoyed each others' company- great. But the So Cal boats usually included a bunch of smelly strangers, with a few mean drunks just to make the trip more miserable.

gavin310 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) There's plenty of fish in the gulf, but you need to put the time in. It obviously depends where you're fishing, but it also depends on when. I've been on expensive trips where I chartered a big boat and only caught small fish, and I've been on small boats and caught big fish. And on both sizes of boats I've had many, many days/nights where I caught nearly nothing. Yes, the gulf is overfished due to a lack of (or no) regulations, but there are fish. You don't have to pay for an expensive boat to catch fish... the locals know where to find fish. But like I said, even though there is a spot that typically holds fish, it depends on if they're biting that day. If I was going to spend loads of cash on a fishing boat, I'd opt for the 7 Seas Pro Shop boat that operates out of Pattaya. I've seen many videos of them jigging up loads of quality fish. Edit: Also don't forget the freshwater fish. Snakeheads (plaa chon and plaa chado) are a really powerful and fun fish to catch and they're all over Thailand.

jaidam Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Water was 150m deep. They caught some green jobfish and adult YF tuna. They must have caught some of these fish photographed by fishing in the Andaman ocean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilva Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah no fish in the Gulf of Thailand, me and my buddies snagged them all back in March this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
