Arapaima Archives - Chalong Fishing Park

Lots of good fish caught and a couple of belters lost

5, Aug 2022

Another fairly quiet one but lots of good fish caught and a couple of belters lost.

Canadian anglers now living in Australia Lisa Edwards and her other half joined us for the morning. Lots of action from the start with several species of different species, shapes and sizes. A large Arapaima took Lisa’s bait but the trademark head shake spelt the end of that battle. Thats fishing and they are booked in for some more on Monday.

Some Dad’nLad sport for Graham and his Son from England on a short afternoon session, plenty of fish for them and our German friend was also back for the second time this week for some Dad’nDaughter fishing (even if she did spend more time playing with our little girl Jazzy). The fish were coming thick and fast for Dad and then there was a screaming run to the far corner followed by run after run which almost always means a Chao Phraya Catfish. The battle lasted well over an hour only to end in a matter of seconds as the hook pulled out, the line went slack and the fish swam off. Gutted but grateful for such a good fight he has also vowed to return for more.

The above is an every day occurrence here so if you fancy some of the same why not get involved. There is very good availability for the next couple of days and the weather forecast looks perfect for fishing with just a little rain and plenty of cloud cover. There are purpose built salas all around the lake with great facilities, great staff, great rates and above all great fishing. Come and get involved and enjoy some…….”FUNFISHIN!”…….

When the fish are biting nothing else matters!

5, Aug 2022

When the fish are biting nothing else matters

A quiet Saturday with the weather at this time of year working against us, when its raining they don’t want to get wet and when its sunny they run for the beach or the pool and who could blame them ? That said the rain does not deter the fish and sometimes its more comfortable being a little damp than being too hot.

We did welcome a Danish Dad’nLad duo who asked us what the chances of catching were when they arrived in the morning. I smiled, told them not to worry and they would catch lots, perhaps the looks on their faces showed a little doubt but that soon changed as they “bagged up” on Siamese Carp, Striped Catfish, Pacu, Red Tails, a bonus Chao Phraya Catfish and hooked but lost Arapaima. Very happy with their days work they left beaming and wowing to return.

We also had a couple of our season ticket customers join us in the afternoon and our pal Tim Darton was once again using his fly rod. Our mutual friend Neil got wind of this and as our planned sea fishing trip aboard “Fish Eagle” was blown off he bought his fly tying kit along, something he says he has not opened for near on 40 years. They went through the goodies and after several fly’s were tried the Red Tail Cats could not resist them, mission accomplished !

Our mate Paul came along with better half Ann and Daughter Elly who is Jazzy’s best fried at school, the pair of them were straight in the pool before deciding to catch some Java Barb, which they both succeeded in doing so jazzy had her first pupil and Elly caught her first fish, lovely and very nice afternoon around “the office” with a few cold ones in great company, compensation for the lack of customers.

The staff and the fish had a rest day yesterday but we are all back at it again from 8.30 this morning. There is a little wet stuff forecast for the coming week but there is shelter all around the lake and the fish really don’t care so if the beach or the pool are not that appealing and you can brave a little rain why not get involved, you won’t be disappointed with probably the nearest thing you will get to a guaranteed catch so come and join us for some………”FUNFISHIN!”……….

England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia and Russia

MORNING WORLD…..

England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia and Russia all represented yesterday.

Nice to see Gordon back again and when a big Scotsman complains of aching arms you know he’s had a good day.

Jason was back again along with his Dad Walter, a bumper day for them with lots of fish from lots of species and the icing was well and truly put on the cake when Walter won a hard battle with a very nice Arapaima.

Aussie angler Dan also got amongst ’em with lots of fish on a mornong session and the same went for Bernard from Ireland in the afternoon.

Mum’nLad action in the morning for Freya and her boys and Grandad’nLad action in the afternoon made for a very nice fish filled day.

While things are not as lively as they have been in the past at this time of year we are definitely starting to get busier by the day so to avoid dissapointment and to help us plan the day PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE COMING, book your slot and join us for some …………..”FESTIVEFUNFISHIN!”……………..🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟😎🎅
