gazyapp Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi all, I'm off to thailand in November and staying in khao lak for 10nights of the trip. I wondered if anyone on here has any experience of sea fishing from there?? Any info would be awesome! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footu Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 There's not much in the gulf as japs got fishing rights and trawled in to death. Deep sea,sail rock chumpon pinacle have sail fish and grouper. Not much to see diving close in according to a friend just returned so allow for a good speedboat and get out a few hours into the deep.good luck. I fish the fresh stuff, highly recommend gilhams in krabi, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Footu, Khao lak is the andaman side, not the gulf side. Gazy, That said, I wouldn't expect the fishing to be too great nearby. The nearshore waters are not deep and there isn't much definable structure that you can see on the charts. There is a ton of commercial fishing in the area- pots, lines, nets, and trawls. When you get out a little further you are into the similans park area where fishing is prohibited. We just dove the similans area the past two weeks and I am currently sitting in Yao noi on the bay side of Phuket. Do the research and maybe I am wrong, but having just been on a bunch of boat rides through that area I wouldn't put a lot of hope into it.

Houseplant Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I have fished from the beach in that area and it wasn't too memorable, it is very much over-fished. There is this place, not my cup of tea, but it might be yours. http://www.fishing-khaolak.com/freshwater_fishing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Wish I had seen that link before I went. I would have liked some jungle fly fishing for mahseer. That as the very far from where we were. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
