Where to fish?

Post by **korsow** » July 10, 2013, 12:42 pm

Hello everyone. Anyone know where I can go fishing with my son? On holliday here for a week and no idea where to go. We're looking for a place where we can rent a rod and get bait also. We used to go to Sabai Sabai (2 years ago), but apparently it's become a fishfarm now. We went to the udon-fishing.com place also but it was closed.

Thanks
Pat

There is Samon Fishing Park in Udon, VS Fishing Park in Nong Khai & if you want to travel and stay the night there is the following place about 95 kilomiters fro Udon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mflvp8bEJj0
Sabai Sabai was a great place and very handy, I wish someone would take it over and start it as a fish venue again. When Paul had the park he spent a fortune on it, I looked in a few month ago and it's just a mess now.
Good Luck
Wee Jimmy.

A couple of weeks ago we went fishing to ‘‘Ban Dong Pattana'' Nam Som.
The picture is an example of one fish which was caught by Dick on the left who fishes Donal's Lake every Saturday; he tells me he has caught bigger from the same lake.
Last weekend when we were there I caught about 12 good size fish.
This weekend the Government Lake which is next to the resort is open for fishing, it is only fished twice a year and is full of fish. It will be about 50 Baht a rod.
If anyone fancies a day or so fishing this weekend or anytime this now seems to be the place to go.

We got there only to find out that due to the heavy rain on Thursday & Friday that the fishing on the Government Lake had been cancelled. It's now hopefully on next weekend.
We fished Donal's Lake at (Sunshine Resort/Fishing Park) and caught about 10 decent sized fish. The picture below is a fish Donal's wife caught Saturday.

dose anyone kno of any wild fishing places round udon or not far for any speics's snakehead indian carp catfish.....

Only time you see Thai's fishing 'wild' around Udon is during a flood. Rest of the time fish are few and far between. Could try the Khlongs .... There are some ponds and lakes with wild fish stocks but still need to be careful you are not trespassing, and the fish may have an owner. The reservoirs may offer some fishing but are further out. Unless you have a thai or other person with local knowledge with you, stick to the fishing parks. However some parks have very few fish (i fish with 2 very good anglers and on some waters average well under one fish a person). I would recommend Saman farm as a water with good stock levels.

All the small ponds streams round here dry up in the cold season, if not quickly enough the Thais will pump them dry to get the fish in them .... Even a pond i know which is only about 100 sq, metres has an 'owner' and is pumped out every year to get the fish that use it as a refuge in the dry season (on a swamp/paddy floodplain).

Nice Plaa Chon - although a bit small.... Pay enough and you can fish my pond .... LOL

Post by **dinantdupont** » December 10, 2013, 12:34 am

i have caught big ones in chonburi in wild by the way them pictures are imbaressing to be honest lmao

Post by **rick** » December 10, 2013, 8:24 pm

Not stocked with plaa chon but has a few. main species are walking catfish, tilapia, java barb; with about 10 other species in varying numbers. It is a fishing park but currently not open to public due to lots of restocking. the 3 main species still growing on, when bigger maybe reopen, but lots of fish 100-200 grams. Located near Bobay. if your interested, send me a PM.

Hi,
Rick, just had a couple of Thais come into the shop. On their bike handlebars were ten fish, good size, which they had just caught, in he wild, they give me one, myself I only like sea fish, but the wife said it was very good.

There's also a place about 6 km or so towards Sakon Nakon with some very large fish. Catch and release. All the gear and advise is there from John.
Head east about past the Shell station on your left about a km or so. Make the u-turn and look on the left.
Lukanna lakes. Turn left about a km. just past the sugar and green netting around another Thai pond and turn left again at his sign.
