Any Info???

Bangkok-Bungsam ran fishing pond-go for giant mekong cat fish,havent been there yet,but know a few friends that did fish there before.Good luck and have fun.

You'll need to do some asking at the Pattaya Sports Club, but find the number for Bua and she'll get you out to sea.

I caught King Mackeral at Phi Phi - it was on an old type Thai boat. Used small baitfish which we caught first, then float fished them with no joy - I tried freelining one and had an instant hit - fish was about 20lb and a local restaurant BBQ it for us.
You only need to book it the night before. The guides are local so speak no english , and the tackle is supplied. It's cheap as chips and is great craic - the boats are roomy and 3 of us fished comfortably.

I think there may be a picture of the fish on the gallery (way way back)
