When the fish are biting nothing else matters!

When the Fish are biting
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-Amazon Redtail

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!”……….🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣😎

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!”…..??????????

MORNING WORLD…..

 
Phuket Sandbox customers from England, Russia and France yesterday.
 
Welshman Nathan joined us for the second time and he is heading to Hong Kong after Phuket so he has not had to cut his holiday short or cancell like so many others from the UK since they decided to put Thailand on a red list. Several nice fish for him and the other anglers though it is fair to say that the fishing was a little slower than it has been. Sometimes a bit of a change in tactics can make all the difference so yours truly decided to try something different to the others. Free lined “luum”‘ (groundbait) tightly squeezed on the hook did the job which resulted in 10 fish in 38 minutes with two further fish dropped in that time using one rod. Defintely NOT slow fishing with Striped Catfish and Pacu taking the bait on the drop with near instant bites and I’m sure that if I’d kept going and fed the swim more the Siamese Carp would have also moved in.
 
The fish have a couple of days rest before we open again on Wednesday morning, silly prices and high catch rates, PLEASE PRE BOOK and come to enjoy some…..”FUNFISHIN!”…..🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟😎

MORNING WORLD…..

 
Another fairly busy day with most, if not all, customers part of the Phuket Sandbox, which has made a massive difference for us over the last few weeks and we hope that our friends who run bars etc can see the same improvements soon.
Customers from England, France and Thailand, most of whom have fished with us before either on this holiday or in the happier pre covid days.
 
The Siamese Carp were feeding well and Jemma who has been here with her family for several weeks and fished with us every week got amongst them along with all the other usual suspects and a very nice Chao Phraya Catfish right at the start of the session, always nice to see a lady enjoying fishing so much and she’s dam good at it too !
 
It was a nice surprise to see our old mate Ray who has recently returned from England, he joined us with friends for a short afternoon stint and they along with everyone else had plenty of fish.
 
Prices are still slashed and catch rates still remain very high, it seems that people like what we do and thankfully we are fairly busy so PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST and join us for some…..”FUNFISHIN!”……🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟😎

MORNING WORLD…..

 
We had 3 customers booked for yesterday afternoon but sadly they could not make it as they had PCR tests that could not be altered, we can’t complain as these tests are there for a good reason and the customers may be able to re schedule.
 
All was not lost as although we do ask customers to pre book we had a couple of chaps turn up in the morning. Londoners, Alfie and Jord have been here some time now having done the quarantine in the days before the much easier “Phuket Sandbox”. They came for the morning and went on to spend the full day with us, lots of fish from lots of species including a nice Chao Phraya Catfish, Arapaima, Siamese Carp, various Red Tails and some chunky Pacu for a busy day.
 
Another couple of expat Brits who have fished here before also joined us in the afternoon and they too were kept busy.
We have no bookings for the coming days, the fishing rates are still low and the catch rates high, the fridge is full and the moon is too, come and join us for some…..”FUNFISHIN!”…..🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣😎
