Thai Fishing
Guide is now able to offer night fishing
as an exclusive charter. On these charters the primary target
is Shark, but this can often be combined with bottom fishing
for some of the many superb table fish in the Andaman Sea.
The fishing area is usually around Racha
Yai and Racha
Noi,
but in perfect weather conditions it is also possible to do
drift fishing over the continental shelf (Drop Off).
The most common techniques used are
fishing from anchor,
with live or dead bait. Like all other fishing techniques,
this will not rule out catching other species. The current
Phuket and Dutch record in Grouper,
a massive 87.7 kg fish,
was caught on a shark bait on board MV "Wahoo
1" .
Sharks likely to be encountered are
Tiger
Sharks,
Mako Sharks,
Hammerhead
Sharks and
Whaler Sharks (reef sharks).
Species caught on light-tackle are usually
Grouper,
Mangrove
Jack, Red
Emperor and Coral
Trout, with
the occasional
Barracuda, Cobia,
Trevally
and Sting
Ray.
Night Charters are recommended for a
maximum of 6 persons.
Please note that we encourage the practice of
Catch and Release of all Sharks.
