Fishing In Thailand

Bread with additives ready to form into...

As a UK Angler you probably have your own ideas about what might catch a carp or a catfish, well out here it's different! Its all been tried before, the fancy Carp Rigs, complex bait ingredients. There was even a well known boilie manufacturer (we won't mention names) that was crazy enough to sponsor one of the the UK's promising anglers to come out here, with a years free supply of Tutti-Frutti (or some other) to catch a world record Siamese carp, that angler, just like all the others blanked until he used.....well in this case it was in fact rice! But usually it's Bread, Bread and more bread!

Baits the size of Cricket Balls!

...this! Well actually its not a good example! But you get the idea?

The keyword regarding presentation when presenting a bait to Thai Catfish and Carp, is Big!

Lures for fishing in Thailand

When a snakehead attacks a surface lure its can be quite vicious. In Thailand, serious snakehead anglers use a number of different types of lures. Anything from Frog & Lizard Immitations and other soft plastic lures, through to sophisticated fly patterns.

The snakehead diet varies and they are opportunistic hunters. They will feed on all kinds of fry and any terrestrials like beetles and fluttering dragonflies touching the water's surface film.
