In this section we cover saltwater fish found in the Andaman Sea surounding Phuket and
a range of freshwater species found in some of Thailand's rivers, lakes and fishing parks.
It is an easy guide to help you indentify and locate your target fish, advise you
on succesful fishing methods and the fighting characteristics, as well as
a list of Thai Fishing Guide's recommended hot spots for these species.
The freshwater fish section includes the most common representive of various
species such as Arawana, Snakehead and Catfish which are found
in a large number of variations in South East Asia.
Also you will be able to find rigging techniques for livebait, deadbait, stripbait,
bottom fishing and catfish rigs, plus step by step diagrams
for more than twenty knots used in big game fishing.
In the equipment pages you will find illustrations and descriptions
of the tackle and equipment most comonly used in Thailand,
such as outriggers, downriggers, rods and trolling reels.
All the lures shown in the equipment section are hand made,
tried and tested for local conditions and fish species.
These are all locally made and may be ordered through the Shopping section.
Last but not least tide tables and moon phases for Phuket, plus an interactive page
(Boat Diagram) explaining the terms used for equipment and accommodation
on a typical sportfishing boat can be accessed from this page.
