A quiet Saturday but nice to see ex pat Rob here

23, Aug 2022

A quiet Saturday but nice to see ex pat Rob here for the morning for some Grandad’nGrandson action. Another ex-pat joined us for the day with his family spectating, loads of fish including a nice bonus Chao Phraya Catfish.

Our pal and season ticket holder Tim was back with his Fly gear and this time he got amongst the Amazon Red Tail Cats, he’s getting better and the fish are getting bigger, how long until one of the Arapaima takes his offering ?….looking forward to that one.

A wet start to today which no doubt has kept some away but there is cover all around the lake, you won’t get cold and the fish don’t care so if the beach or the pool is not so appealing why not come and wet a line and join us for some …..”FUNFISHIN!”……….

A busy day for Dad’nLad

20, Aug 2022

A few customers yesterday and a busy day for Dad’nLad duo from Kazakhstan and they are coming back for more on Monday.

Its always nice to see returning faces and yesterday we welcomed back our mate “Polish Pete” who’s been a customer for a few years now and he too had a busy session.

A couple of fellas from Germany joined us for an afternoon session and yes you guessed it, lots of fish for them with the Siamese Carp, Amazon RedTail Catfish, Pacu and Striped Cats all feeding well.

We’ve not netted an Arapaima for a good few days now, pretty sure some have been hooked but that’s the easy bit so we must be due one soon. Lots of availability for today and all of next week so make the most of the quiet times, they won’t last for ever and join us for 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!”……….

Another Looong Month Ends

Another Looong Month Ends

MORNING WORLD…..

As another looong month ends and there is a feeling that things are set to improve soon though personally I think it will get a little tougher for a while before it gets better. It,s good news that the restaurants can now serve grown up drinks and if the powers that be allow the bars to reopen and restrictions lessened people will start to return, simple as that.

We were thankful for one customer yesterday, Pacal from the Netherlands returned and had a busy day with several species and the pics above show just a small selection of his catch.

The weekend is with us, the weather looks ideal for fishing, the fish are always hungry and the prices remain slashed. It can’t stay like this for ever so why not make the most of it and join us for some……”FUNFISHIN!”……….🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣😎

DEALS

We have had a couple of people ask us if we are currently doing any deals and so the poster below should answer that question as we are basically offering our fishing at half price in an effort to tempt ex pats and remaining stranded tourists on the Island. All the usual things are included in the price and with very little pressure on the lake, very good catch rates are to be expected. We have removed our short 3 hour session as it would just not be worth doing and the half day package is great value anyway.

Please note that we do not offer hourly rates and the packages that we are offering do not even come close to meeting our running costs so please do not ask for further reductions.

We were also offering a half days fishing with 8 cold ones included a couple of days a week for just 1,000 baht (do the math) but we had no takers so we will have a re think.

Virtually all businesses here are struggling with the majority not even open and many perhaps closed for good. We are very aware that this is the same world over and this is not a cry for help, just putting it out there for you and the fish photos were all caught in the last week so why not come and catch some for yourselves and enjoy some “FUNFISHIN!”…..??????????

Fishing From 8 AM – 6 PM (or part of)

2 Rods, 1 Predator & 1 Non-Predator
3 KG of Ground Bait provided, Chicken/Fish Baits, Pop Up Boilies etc.
Assistance From Guides.

Total for the above = 1,000 Baht (full day – over 5 hours) or 700 Baht (half day, up to 5 hours).

Customers are welcome to bring their own bait and additional “Luum” ground bait can be purchased at 300 Baht per 3 kilos.
Food Will Be Available from 10 am – 2 pm, with drinks available all day.
Current Regulations Must be Observed.
Ideally fishing should be pre-booked by contacting us by email, social media or calling 0811554336 (English) or 0939318395 (Thai).

CLOSED MONDAYS

Come and enjoy some “FUNFISHIN !”…..???????????

THANK YOU
