Welcome to our latest Exotic Fishing Thailand newsletter. I would like to wish everyone good health in these unusual times. It's been a while since our last newsletter but i was waiting for some positive news to give people something to look forward to. The Thai government have approved that Phuket province will open to tourism July 1st 2021 for vaccinated tourists with no quarantine. After 7 days those same tourists can then travel freely throughout Thailand. Phang Nga and some other provinces will open October 1st 2021 for tourists to visit without the 7 day stop in Phuket. This is based on a large number of Phuket residents being vaccinated before that date . I am sure there will be many details to follow but at least this is great news for now :).Finally some light at the end of the tunnel.

Who would think that its already been 1 year since our last overseas customers Martin and Shirley Hobs left our resort for the airport. I'm sure Martin didnt think he would have to wait this long for a chance at an even bigger Freshwater Stingray. We look forward to welcome you both back in November.

Boom, Michelle and I would also like to take a minute to thank all our customers, family and friends for their ongoing support. You really get to see who your real friends are in difficult times. Whether it's a phone call or message just to see how we are doing or amazing customers paying for future bookings without even specifying dates,it is all very much appreciated. I think we have all been through challenging times in our lives and this is one shared experience we will all never forget. Thailand has done an amazing job in controlling the spread of Covid as they took a very strong approach right from the begining. Life has been back to normal for some time here with the exception of not having any income of course. This last year has been a strong reminder that family comes first and its been great enjoying some simple yet fun activities.

As a family we have tried to visit some of the local attractions close to EFT which we haven't had time to see before. These included Khao Sok national park, James bond island, Samet Nang Shee view point , a rafting trip and some quiet local beaches.

There are many people in Thailand suffering due to losing their Tourism source of income so we have tried to help local charities where possible and also tried to support organizations that help those often forgot like the Elephants. We have loads of bananas on our resort and have made several trips to PEP Phang Nga Elephant Park to help feed the hungry elephants. This is a great organization that would also be happy to greet customers when they return to Phang Nga. 400kilos of bananas doesnt go far with these hungry giants.

Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi have a close Expat community with many people trying to help each other. For example Terry and his son Josh have visited several times and enjoyed some amazing fishing so when in Krabi we make a point to drop by their beach restaurant Sa-Ing for a sunset drink and a bite to eat. Great food and friendly people.

I filmed Jonathan as he fought and landed his 200th fish and he was exhausted at that point . Little did he know the lake had one final back destroying surprise with this huge Mekong catfish waiting for his last cast :).Jonathan said he is taking a break from fishing while him and his wife wait for the birth of their new baby but i have a sneaking suspicion we will see him again some day.

The old guys had no excuses although local knowledge actually hurt us more than helped. We won the draw for swim choices and based our decisions on our favorite fishing method where we use the float and method feeder combo with Lum/rice powder to attract bait fish and target Arapaima. The event was based on the total length of fish in cm so we thought lots of 2 meter Arapaima would surely secure a win .

On tournament day for whatever reason almost all the baitfish were not feeding and couldn't be found except in the shallow corner where Krit was fishing. Was it the draw of the "fish Scale " or the moon phase etc? We will never know but by the time we figured out what was going on it was too late.

We would like to wish Jules of Jurassic fame good luck in whatever he does next and hope he is taking a well deserved rest after all his hard work building Jurassic Mountian resort into the amazing fishery which it is. I had the pleasure to meet the new owner Mark on a recent visit and we are planning some exciting 2 venue holidays which will be available soon. With other fisheries sadly closing and some fully booked to March 2023 it's a great time to enjoy this 2 premier fisheries package.

While I was at Jurassic I ran into David Wilson who lives close to the lake and fishes there regularly. Dave was very excited to tell me about his new line of floats which he is making and selling. I am always interested in new tackle and presentations. Just one week later a package arrived at EFT and in it some sample floats from Dave. Check out the video I have just finished where I am testing the biggest of these floats. The new 4oz Big boy floats will be on sale at EFT in the future if anybody wants to try them .

I would like to take a minute to thank good friend John Pearce for his help in filming a lot of our videos. He is the guy on the other side of the camera and supports the resort whenever and however he can. He also likes to wet a line or 2 and has probably caught as many if not more Arapaima than I have.

John introduced me to his good friend Bob Grieve who is the producer of the original Rex hunt show. Rex is now starting to film new shows and has already featured Exotic Fishing Thailand several times on his Sunday evening live feed from his You Tube and Facebook channels. We look forward to welcoming Rex here as soon as possible as he is eager to catch some of our amazing Arapaima for his future shows. We are also discussing a "Meet and Fish with Rex" package and will announce dates as soon as details are finalized.

As most of our customers already know, Fish Care is very important to our business. We do have our orientation video which reminds everyone upon check in of our rules and all our guides are also educated to the best of my ability about caring for the fish. It would be very rare to find a customer who would intentionaly mistreat a fish so I would just like to stress and personally remind everyone that ALL of our Arapaima and large Catfish must not be lifted out of the water and should be held as demnstrated by John Pearce in the photo above.

If customers really wanted to be extra careful perhaps consider leaving all fish supported in the water for photos and hold them well away from the concrete swims [as shown in the above photo of Adrian and Lek]. I am definitely not enforcing this as a rule but just food for thought. Last year we had a beautiful Siamese carp of around 90 lbs float up dead. The obvious cause of death was a large mark in the middle of its head where it had obviously been accidentally dropped onto the under water conrete steps.

These fish can be very difficult to hold onto and accidents can easily happen. Let's all please work together to help protect some of the rare specimens we are lucky to have swimming in our lake. The fish in this photo was not hurt I am just using the photo as an example to show how much power they have :). With this in mind we have now decided that we will not weigh any fish in the future with the exception of when stocking them, as we dont see the value versus the risk to the fish. Regarding other fisheries who choose to weigh fish that is totally their perogative and frankly not our concern. You will find that our guides are quite accurate and honest when it comes to guessing fish sizes and I am not bad myself so dont be afraid to ask:).

The COVID 19 lockdown on Thailand and especially Phuket is finally over and we are very excited to welcome everyone back to our beautiful resort here at Exotic Fishing Thailand. The Thai Government has done a great job in eliminating the virus making Thailand a preferred Covid free destination. We are now open for business and the lake is on fire with many fish gracing the net each day.We look forward to seeing all our wonderful customers again once travel is permitted for each country as they deal with their own Covid issues. Fishing in the past has mostly been by reservation but will now be 100% by reservation ONLY . This way we can try to spread out the number of guests per day to help wish social distancing where possible. Less anglers per day also improves the fishing :).

Since our last customers returned to the UK in early March the lake has not been fished so there will be some very lucky anglers in the next few months catching more than their regular share of specimens I'm sure.With no customers arriving from overseas right now we have some great specials for expats living here. You will never find a cheaper time to fish here so call me today and book a short visit before its too late:).

There has been a lot happening since our last newsletter with the most exciting news in my opinion being the addition of our 20m x 10m swimming pool and swim up bar. We have an attached aquarium which will be open very soon so stay tuned for photos of that . Even I cant wait to swim with the Arapaima.

We have also added several different room options to bring our total number of rooms to 17 including the new adjoining rooms in this photo . These are more of our Mountain view rooms but unlike our past room options they are connected with dividing door so perfect for families. One room has a king bed while the other room has 2 singles. Additional fold out beds are available for larger families. We are also proud to say that these rooms are disability friendly rooms. Disabled customers now have wheelchair access throughout the resort :).Check out this short <a href="http://youtu.be/PWqd7OYqUj0">VIDEO TOUR</a> of the rooms:).

The Brendan twosome joined us with their good friend Martin who organised the trip . Martin landed some awesome species . Including Siamese Carp, Arapaima , Chao Phraya Catfish, Mekong Catfish and more . I would estimate that between the 3 of them they easily caught over 100 fish ..

Its always nice to welcome back our return customers . I somehow didn't post photos of our good friend Lee on a prior visit when he caught an unbelievable 13 Arapaima in 1 week.

Another new customer Bill from the UK visited us for 2 weeks and we literally lost count of how many fish he caught including this Stingray which was caught on the Carp bait/Lum ball. The small baitfish which thrive in our lake gather around the bait ball and the stingray and other predators often take advantage of an easy meal. Like a lot of customers who join us for the first time Bill was so impressed with our venue that he has already booked to return and we look forward to welcome hime back very soon.

Another back breaker here as anyone that's fought one knows is our Mekong Catfish. They nearly always come out on the float rod. I strongly suggest lots of bait balls if you want to target them. We have lots of Mekongs over 150Kgs which rarely get caught but when you do hook one you won't forget it.

If you haven't visited us recently you should know that we now have our own Exotic Baits line of Boilies, Dips and pop ups. These are proving very effective for a lot of different species and will only get better as the fish turn on to the different flavours. We no longer use the large 25mm sinking pellets as they are no longer available in Thailand. The smaller sinking pellets dissolve too quickly in our opinion so boilies are definitely the best bet and best for our water quality.

<br /></div>
A lot of people have been asking why we don't do our regular blog/catch reports any more. The main reason is that our focus has been more on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts as people seem to "like" and move on rather than read a lengthy catch report which takes a lot of preparation.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
With so much exciting news happening recently I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring all our valued customers up to speed on what's new.

We ended 2018 with an exciting opportunity as we signed a one year contract with PAUL POOLE (SOUTH EAST ASIA)CO LTD as our Marketing Consultant Agent for 2019. PP(SEA)CL has had an immediate impact on our plans for 2019 both in planning exciting events and signing on sponsors for the resort and events.

!!!!!!!!BIG NEWS ABOUT BAIT !!!!!!
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Due to supply issues we no longer use the standard fishmeal based pellet previously used by a lot of resorts in Thailand. We have now developed our own boilies as part of our line of "Exotic Baits". These are an all natural boilie available in 3 flavours . The fish meal based boilie "Wicked Tuna "the "Fruit and Nut Cake" Boilie and the appropriately named "Bananorama"flavour. These new baits are an excellent source of protein and nutrients for our fish and will only help in maintaining the excellent growth rates we have experienced so far with all of our species. They also last a lot longer than the previously used pellets as they don't break down quickly and are not as easily eaten by the smaller baitfish .

Our Mekong catfish get hooked up regularly but are not easy to land. They can be a real back breaker but have also been landed by anglers as young as 14 years old..

When a Mekong does grace the net it is always well over 80kg. I constantly find myself explaining to customers that we are not a runs water and have never stocked small Mekong to increase catch rates as they can be easily caught in cheaper smaller fisheries. We have a large lake which is the perfect environment for these huge fish to feed naturally with lots of space to play them when you do hook one without having every other angler have to remove their lines .

Anglers pay more to fish with us as they know we have stunning specimens in huge sizes and can enjoy stunning scenery while waiting for a monster hook up. The beauty of the sport of fishing is that it can be enjoyed on many different levels and the great thing about Thailands large selection of fisheries is that there is something out there for everyone.

We are fortunate to have some immaculate fish but it does take a lot of hard work and care to make sure they stay that way . We do appreciate all customers who respect our rules and our fish care policies. It is not easy for our guides to enforce our rules as only yesterday our head guide Poe had to physically block a customer from lifting a large Chao Phraya Catfish onto the concrete.

We continue to stock the lake which is costly at times but imperative to keep the catch rates where we feel they need to be . Our main focus is on stocking Siamese carp and weird and wonderful species as they come available .

We have a HUGE announcement coming regarding the long awaited SWIMMING POOL:)so stay tuned to our facebook page and other social media for the next few weeks .This will also include timing for the addition of 2 more luxury bungalows the same as what we have now .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Another new addition will be 8 of our new apartment style rooms which will be cheaper than our luxury accommodation. These rooms will help customers wanting to fish with us but on a slightly lower budget. The savings on a one week trip would be approximately 200 GBP.

2016 Was a fantastic year here at Exotic Fishing Thailand and 2017 is starting off even better . The resort has matured in many ways and we are now able to offer our luxury Mountain view Bungalow suites as onsite accommodation for our many guests. The fishing continues to be outstanding as you can see if you check our customer reviews on TripAdvisor .

We have also been filming "LIVE" facebook videos of anglers catching their dream fish and are finding this to be of great interest to customers . If you dont want to miss our next LIVE catch then make sure to set up your facebook live notification and watch us catch live some time soon . We are seeing more and more people watch with each live video we do. Personally I think it wont be long before this is the new standard in Thai fishing catch coverage .

There have been some great Siamese carp coming out both on the lum/rice powder set up on the bottom and on the method below the float . We have a lot of carp anglers ask about bringing certain baits from the UK . They are more than welcome to bring high quality name brands with our prior approval but frankly we have more success on the traditional Thai baits.

Arapaima are a very sensitive species with some venues losing stocks regularly .. Here at EFT we seem to have the ideal environment for them. The combination of 5 meter maximum depths and the lake being spring fed keep the water cool even in the warmest months .Our fish care and handling procedures combined with customer education are also helping to maintain our valued stocks .

We have changed a few staff over the last year but I am proud to say we have maintained our most experienced guides as well as hired some more good ones.They continue to get rave reviews from our customers for their hard work , efforts and customer service. Our industry leading guides each have different levels of English but always find a way to communicate . Rain or shine these guys give 100% everyday to try to help customers maximize their catch and to make sure they have everything they need to make every day enjoyable.

There are some unbelievable fishing opportunities in Thailand and truly amazing fish for visitors to catch. The Thai fishing scene continues to grow at an amazing rate as more people find out what Thailand has to offer.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
The beauty of fishing is that it can be enjoyed on many levels. My advice to potential visitors is to do your research so you know what you are paying for. Thai fisheries vary from Premier specimen lake resorts to smaller ponds with higher catch rates of smaller fish and less species . There are lots of useful tools available these days such as Facebook,Trip advisor and fishing forums etc. You work hard for your money so don't be disappointed and make sure to get the value you deserve.

It is always a pleasure to see angling legend John Wilson who returned to Exotic fishing thailand and caught his biggest fish on the fly with this 230lb + Arapaima. This was also John's longest battle with any fish on a fly rod . The battle on 12 weight gear lasted over 2 hours and 40 minutes .. .

This gar was a lot bigger and need 2 of our guides to help with a safe photo .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
We have been giving some more thought to anglers safety and have decided that we will no longer allow photos with smaller Alligator gar less than 1.2meters as they can very easily turn and injure the angler .. The big ones are not as flexible and we will still allow photos of them with the guide's assistance of course

Our Siamese Carp are really growing nicely .. We have electronic chips in most of our fish so we can get accurate growth rates . A lot of our Siamese have almost doubled in size with some smaller fish growing from 12kg to over 20 kg in the first 2.5 years..

It seems like there are an endless number of Arapaima pics each catch report ,but our customers encourage me to keep posting as many as possible as they just love to see them . It is obviously in our best interest as it also makes it more easy for potential customers to decide where to go to catch their first Arapaima .Why would anyone fish anywhere else when they see all these big Arapaima pics each month .

I think my most memorable fish of this holiday season was one of what we now call " Mike's Monster Mekongs". This fish was landed by our new customer Sean who did an excellent job to win the brutal tug of war . Whats amazing is that this fish was stocked just over 2 years ago and has added an incredible 40+ kilos in weight . I just cant imagine how big some of our fish are going to get .

In an ongoing attempt to catch up on long overdue catch reports I have once again decided to combine October and November reports and will probably do the same for December , January and others .

As I look back on October and November I would have to say that for different species these 2 months are definitely some of the best months to visit EFT.The Giant Snakehead, Arapaima , Goonch and other exotic catfish came out in big numbers, evident here with Sue and one of many Wallagoo Attu.

Our good friend Stretton joined us again on a Mekong Mission but unfortunately didnt connect with any of our monsters .. It definitely wasn't for lack of trying as both Stretton and the guides fished hard . Stretton ended up with at least several fish each day but wasn't eager to get in the water other as he has caught most species before

We were also joined by the Singapore Fishing and Cider Drinking Club . President Dale Leach is seen here with one of the group's Arapaima. I will probably get an earful for my comments as most of Dale's group are very serious anglers and the percentage of cider seems to end up in which ever swim a Mr Alan Salter is fishing ..:)

August was a very difficult month for everyone here at EFT . Boom's father has been suffering from cancer for a very long time to the point where he was bed ridden and basically counting his last days .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Boom and her family travelled to Korat north of Bangkok to be by their father's side . I remained here at the lake and with the support of the rest of the staff kept everything going as usual . Michelle went along to try to keep everyone's spirits up.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Not long after everyone arrived in Korat Boom's father sadly passed away with my Thai brother Ched by his bedside .. It was probably in some ways better at that point as he was continuously in so much pain . It was only his strong heart which kept him going until all his family and friends could be there to say good bye .

I traveled to Korat for the funeral and to be by Boom's side . I was so proud of her to see her take care of all aspects of the funeral and was sorry that I couldn't speak enough Thai to help more with so many things that are involved in a lengthy and complex Thai funeral .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Boom's father was cremated like most Thais and like my Dad just 3 years ago. I thought it would be a nice idea to put some of his ashes in the lake here at EFT so that both of Michelle's grandfathers could be together in a such a peaceful location. Boom agreed so we had a short ceremony and did just that ..

.We spent the first part of August trying to decide which puppy to keep from the 5 as we decided that 3 dogs on the property was enough without offending customers . We decided to keep the tan coloured puppy who Michelle named coffee and found good homes for the other 4 ..I have never had a dog from a puppy and was excited to train Coffee and spend time with Michelle and her puppy ..

Even though we had built a dog house we continued to have difficulty to get the dogs to use it . Coffee was quite happy to follow Mom , Dingo just about anywhere to get out from the sun .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
This habit didn't end well as we have very sad news in September . A Taxi driver unknowingly ran over Coffee as she was hiding from the sun in the shade of his car . Nobody heard anything we just found her dead where she had been sleeping . I am sure the Taxi driver didn't check under his car and probably drove away in a hurry . Non of which makes any difference other than I will be adding a speed bump inside the gate and signs to slow everyone down for both animal and child safety ..

In an effort to get up to date with catch reports and keep them current I have decided to combine August and September . I personally spend many hours on the monthly reports and even with catch reports from all customers it is still very difficult to match names and photos and catch reports when I am always 2 months behind :(.

We are not a big enough company at this point to hire a full time PR person just to take photos and make movies. Getting photos is usually a combination of me running [ok driving and/or walking]:), around the lake and guides juggling 2 cameras to take both customer's and EFT photos .
We very much appreciate of course when customers send us their fish pics.

We do our best to show as many fish and different species pics as possible . We like to show enough photos to give a good representation of the month's catch .We don't understand how some venues can boast so many fish caught each month yet don't show very many photos ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I guess not showing fish pics is more ethical than some ponds rumoured to be posting photos of fish being stocked and then claiming they were actually caught by customers or owners .

To anyone who's photo is on the report with no name attached I apologize . This was also simply to save time and get caught up to date with reports .. I found myself spending 30 minutes or more at times trying to match 2 photos to accurate names .No wonder I don't get much sleep :).

Akshay told us he had 2 specific target species. The first priority was a Giant Snakehead . As a professional guide , Akshay demonstrated how to lift the fish slowly so it will stay relatively calm for a photo . It took a few tries but as you can see we got a great pic.After one target species accomplished Akshay took a break to sign autographs for Freddy Mercury fans while his wife took over the rods :).

Here is a great photo of Warren with one of our Giant Freshwater Stingray .
We have been told by our fish supplier that the movement of these rare creatures is going to be limited by a new change to the law in order to protect them and their removal from the wild.
We fully support this change and are also very interested to see if the new law will effect fishing for them in the rivers . .

I knew Chef Tuk was a talented chef and also excellent pastry chef but i hadn't realized how good she was at fruit carving .. When some non fishing clients didn't want to try the cooking lessons Tuk was quick to offer fruit carving which some of the ladies decided to try and thoroughly enjoyed .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

As a result we now offer fruit carving as well as the cooking lessons for groups of up to 4 people . I haven't tried it personally as I prefer to keep my distance form ladies with knife skills ..

Lance finished the day with this nice surprise, a big Chao Phraya Catfish . I was stood next to him when he hooked the fish . There was no doubt by the speed of the screaming run that this was a Chao Phraya who are renowned for turning after the first run and swimming directly back at the angler . He responded quickly to my screams of REEL REEL REEL and eventually caught up with the fish and the fight was on .. After a great job by a calm angler it was time for more smiles and fish photos .

This Sawai/Striped catfish was also a new species for Sinane which is hard to believe as most Thai fisheries are actually over stocked with them. We only have a few stocked here at EFT as most people really dont want to spend good money to catch a species which they can catch at a 500 baht per day Thai style pond.

Thaddaeus Cheng visited us for a day ticket catching Amazon Redtails and a Wallagoo Attu . He was so eager to catch an Arapaima that he came back the next day for another attempt catching more Redtails another Wallagoo and a late in the day Arapaima. Unfortunately he didn't send us any other photos.

We were busy in June with introducing new fish , a children's charity event and as always catching lots of exciting exotic species ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I get calls every week from all kinds of people trying to sell us fish for the lake . When my trusted fish dealer called with Thai grown Sturgeon for sale I decided to throw apprehension about it being a cold water fish aside and ordered some.

We did lose 2 fish after stocking but that can happen with any species . I am very interested to see what bait these fish get caught on and will be happy to post photos of the first one caught .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I can hear my pessimistic competitors now saying "Why would anyone come to Thailand to catch Sturgeon when they can catch them in Canada" .This is very true as I really don't think anyone would do that ,but the same goes for Goonch from India , Vundu from Africa and Jau from the Amazon . Different fish are exotic to people from different areas of the globe . A Canadian from Alberta would not be interested to catch a Sturgeon and an angler from South Africa would not be chasing Vundu Catfish .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
When you put 70 different species in a fishing paradise like EFT then I think we really have something special for everyone, and lots of variety to keep people interested for a long time to come .

As explained in prior posts we do not buy Giant Stingrays over 1m as we feel this encourages fish traders to take them from the wild for possible sale. The Giant Stingray is an endangered species which must be preserved. We encourage the continued studies by VRMC from Chulalongkorn University under the direction of Dr. Nantarika Chanuse who are doing a great job of studying this species in order to promote conservation.

Another new species was this Giant Gourami. Dominik decided to use gloves to hold onto this fish as they are quite slippery.They also have very rough scales if you rub them the wrong way.

Its always a good idea to use gloves or a Towel with the Alligator gar as they have similar scales to the Gourami , but of course also have a wicked set of teeth.

Dominik had been talking about catching a big Mekong for some time now .When he finally hooked this 200lb+ fish which took off like a train he was very excited to say the least . Dominik is a professional football player and in good shape , but even he had trouble playing this brute of a fish . Once we showed him the "Mekong Shuffle" he soon started to gain line on the fish and finally had it in the net in just over 1 hour .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
The "Mekong Shuffle" is a simple walking back and forth method we use to gain line on the fish between runs while keeping maximum pressure on the fish . We find this works very well. By using their legs it puts less stress on the anglers arms as they can keep their forearm straight while holding the rod higher up from the reel with the non reeling arm .

Tom just wowed us with Arapaima and caught 7 Arapaima in only 6 days of fishing. Neil and Tom figured they would rather get quality versus quantity and settled on fishing with a dead java barb left untouched for hours .

Another fish with an even faster run is the Chao Phraya Catfish . In my opinion these fish have the strongest and fastest run of any Thai fish pound for pound . This first run is usually followed by a turn back towards the angler which tricks him into thinking he has lost the fish .. My advice is don't stop reeling until you see your bait .Most anglers drop their rod tip assuming that the fish is gone which is then followed by the reality that it has gone :).

He was also over the moon with this awesome Piraiba.. I would never wish my life away but I really cant wait to see how big these fish are in 5 years ..Some have grown from 1 kg to 10kg in 3 years so even if they only double every 2 to 3 years we could be looking at some 20 to 30kg fish very soon ..

Another time we went fishing from shore at a lake close to their house . We arrived and kindly asked a man fishing if he had caught anything, to which he mumbled "no nothing all day" . It was mid afternoon already ...
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I had the girls set up again with light line, small floats and worms .. They all cast out and within minutes were reeling in perch ,panfish and even small bass..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I guess this was just too much for the man to take seeing 3 young girls catch where he hadn't had a bite all day .. He folded up his fishing chair ,threw it in the back of his truck , said a few unsavory words and screeched out of the parking lot in his pick up truck .. The girls and I looked at each other and all burst out laughing ,,,

May was also a great month to again welcome some return customers and also new ones . We really appreciate our customer,s support with some customer returning 4 times already in the 18 months we have been open..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
The combined catches of old and new customers totaled 371 from 74 angler days fished .The average catch was 4.5 + fish per angler day .We felt that the fish were just a little off this month due to the extreme heat and we even had to run our oxygen machines 24 hours a day at times to keep our oxygen levels up..

The Highlight or Barry's day was being the first angler to land one of our 55kg+ Siamese Carp . There will be many more big Carp come out of EFT but this will always be the first 100lb+ fish ... If you are a regular to this blog stay tuned in November for the stocking of our first 150lb fish :)

They both caught Amazon Redtails but I think this is Ian in the photo. We pride ourselves on accurate reporting and lots of photos to back up our catches here at EFT but when you throw twins into the mix the who's who can get a little complicated :).

This is definitely Ian with his second 100kg+ Arapaima of the day . For accurate record keeping we electronically tag all our big fish. That way we know the accurate weight when the fish was stocked and can track its growth from there .This fish weighs easily 120kg.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
While on the topic of accurate record keeping , here at EFT we make every effort to get as many fish photos and show as many in our catch reports as we can.. It takes a lot of effort to keep accurate reports and to then present them in an accurate catch report. We feel it is well worth it to keep our reputation as a credible fishery .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
We often see other fisheries embellishing their catch reports to mislead clients .Some simply don't show many photos while claiming to have caught 100's of fish each month .. This seems to be a habit of smaller fisheries ,some of which even show multiple photos of the same fish from 2 sides ,claiming to have more monster fish that they actually do to intentionally mislead potential customers ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Another trick often used to trick clients is where stocking photos of fish are taken with captions saying they were actually caught by guests or more commonly the venue owners .
To make sure you don't fall into this trap we think it's best to check catch reports carefully and stay with the larger more reputable venues which have been around for some time and have accurate reporting . Resorts who have invested serious money into both their properties , facilities and fish stocks are in this business for long term and are less likely to risk their reputations with exaggeration and fantasy.

Giles Barlow and his wife Nicola returned to EFT guided again by Neil .They netted 11 fish for the day with a favorite being the Goonch as it was top on their target list . Giles is very knowledgeable when it comes to his fish and it was a pleasure to chat about the different species available for the aquarium trade in the UK and also here in Thailand. Even though I pride myself on my growing fish knowledge it cant touch that of Giles who can list just about every fish we have by scientific name ..

Here is Gary from the US with a last minute Arapaima showing again that patience and fishing until the last possible minute really pays off.It looks like our guide Lek has had a long day as he actually looks asleep holding this fish .. This wouldn't surprise me as all our guides work extremely hard to help our customers catch .

When I say monster Gar I have mentioned before that these fish in no way mirror the huge fish caught in the USA .If you are looking to catch a Gar over 50 lbs in Thailand then EFT is definitely the place as we have fish this size coming out regularly . We have some of the biggest Gar available in Thailand with at least one fish over 110lbs.

There were a good number of group photos for the trip but this determined lady wanted one of her own with an Arapaima so she did the logical thing and on the advise of her guide cast out a big piece of chicken . It didn't take long before she landed landed her own Arapaima and got her own photo. :).

Many years ago I had promised myself to fish on every birthday .Life gets busy and I unfortunately couldn't keep that promise to myself . Now with having my own lake there really is no excuse .. I was quite surprised when Guests Paul and Marie along with Boom and Michelle had decorated my sala for my bday fishing. There was also a delicious bday cake which our talented Chef Tuk had made and served after dinner :)

Before I fill the report with his wonderful photos I would like to give credit to our good friend Henrik Moller who spent a total of 5 days fishing and photographing everything from butterflies to our great customer catches . Henrik got some amazing shots and when not snapping pics also got some fishing in himself. At least twice I saw Henrik hand off fish to other clients or let them strike one of his rods so they could catch a fish and he could get their photo .. A photographer and a gentlemen , thank you Henrik

I can never say enough about our guides as they do such an awesome job . They are the most hard working guides I have every seen and I have fished at most of the top resorts in Thailand .. Nothing is too much to ask and they always respond with a smile ..Ched pictured here is my brother in law and when not guiding also helps out with maintenance around the resort . Ched and his wife Pom have been here from day 1 before we initially broke any ground and have been an incredible asset. Without their efforts we wouldn't be where we are today ..

Ched's wife Pom isn't actually a full time guide but thinks nothing of getting in to help with netting and releasing fish ..It looks like she has developed a safe way to release the Arapaima by standing behind the net :).. Pom also takes care of feeding all our fish . cleaning aquariums , many garden duties and on busy days she even serves food around the lake .. To top that off she is probably the best ground bait ball maker we have :).

Our newest guide Poe actually works too hard .. Works too hard ? How can that be you must be asking ?. I am constantly telling him to slow down so he doesn't get hurt . He literally sprints round the lake when a customer has a fish on .. I worry hes going to trip and fall in the lake. I guess he would be fine though as he's also an excellent swimmer as the other day I saw him quickly swim out to the middle of the lake when a fish needed to be retrieved for oxygen .. ..

Lek is our most senior guide who is responsible for rigs and tackle duties . He also helps coordinating the swim set ups from the daily fishing schedule .We will be losing him for a few months later in the year as he will go to be a monk . Many young men in Thailand do this and it is regarded as a very important thing to do by their family .

While on the topic of our guides I would like to thank all of our customers on the guides behalf for the tips they have received . Their tips really mean a lot to them and I have noticed this allows them to buy a little something extra for themselves . I often see them proudly sharing photos of their new purchases on facebook .

Many people ask me what they should tip a guide and I always say it's up to them. If anyone is looking for an number I would simply say that anything is appreciated , but 300 to 500 baht is about average from what I have seen ..

Our German friend Holger Block came to see us but unfortunately couldn't fish as he was recovering from a recently broken back and figured fighting an Arapaima was pushing his luck.. That didn't deter his good friend Alfred though as he fished hard and was rewarded with a good Arapaima ..We hope you continue to get well Holger and hope to see you battling Arapaima of your own some time soon :) .

Francois didn't get a bite all morning while Stefan was busy catching ..He was just discussing with me that he wanted to maybe move swims when his rod screamed off and he landed this beautiful Siamese Carp..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
This brings up a good point which I would like to remind everyone of .. When you go carp fishing at home and cast out your rods do you expect to get a run in the first few hours?. Probably not or you wouldn't have brought your tent , your stove and enough food and drink to last you a week ..I mention this as we often have customers stand on the swim with their arms folded or on their hips looking at us after just 5 minutes with this "why haven't we caught a fish yet ? expression ".
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
It takes time for the fish to move in on your bait {if you put any out :)} so please be patient , fish hard and you should catch 3 or more fish before you leave . If you want to increase your chances of a fish of a lifetime then I suggest to book a multiple day package or a 5 day package where we will guarantee an Arapaima.

Hats off to young Mohammed who is not only a good young angler but is also gifted in martial arts . In his home country of Botswana he is on the junior national Karate team and even gave us a live demonstration in our restaurant before he left . Luckily he didn't chop our bar in half :)...

Our good friend Brian from Mad Mohally's bar in Rawai called me and told me he had two eager Australian anglers wanting to catch Arapaima.. We booked the taxis and Simon and Nav showed up the next day .. They were very easy going guys and I had a good feeling they were in for a good day .. Their first fish was a fat African Walking Catfish

No trip would be complete without an Amazon Redtail .. This was one of several landed by these happy customers.. These guys were so happy in fact that a week later when I dropped in to see Brian for a Guinness I couldn't even get in the door before Simon and Nav hurried over thanking me again for one of the best fishing days of their lives .. It was also their last night in Thailand so needless to say there were a few Guinness consumed by all .

A fight of over an hour included as always with our big Mekongs a lesson in the "Mekong Shuffle" . This is a pacing back and forth line retrieving technique which we try to get all our customers to use when fighting these bullet trains . I find this works better than a pumping of the rod technique and is a little easier on your back as the fish don't seem to pull as hard .

This fish was stocked less than 2 years ago and I would estimate it to be well over 120kg already .. It was so deep in the body that I couldn't get my arm under it and reach the far pec fin when I was trying to lift it..You know it is a deep fish when you can only see the anglers head behind the fish .. No insult intended but he is far from small:).

Stretton wasn't the only person catching Jau Catfish this month with another beauty for Runar from Norway . There were a total of 5 Jau Catfish out for the month which is the most so far .Our main goal is to get these fish closer to their 100lb+ maximum wait but also to make them more of a regular catch here at EFT .We will be adding more fish as soon as they are big enough to survive in the main lake

Exotic Fishing Thailand has already established itself as one of the top Exotic species fisheries in Thailand and are now in the process to improve our Siamese carp fishery to be on the same level or better than the other 2 premium Siamese Carp fisheries . There is no question that currently more carp over 100lbs are caught at Gillham's Fishery followed by Jurassic Fish park .. EFT will continue to add huge Siamese as we have done with all our other species until we reach our goal.

John also managed to land one of our many Arapaimas.. He was very taken back by the resort with "stunning" being his favorite way to describe EFT ..What a great compliment from someone who has fished some of the most beautiful places in the world . I cant wait to hear all the other very positive comments he has in his upcoming book on Thai fisheries.

Speaking of beautiful fisheries John explained that he has now finished his own piece of paradise at his own lake in Chumphon southern Thailand .. We are looking forward to offering packages to fish both EFT and Paradise lake [Bung Sawan] in the coming months ..Keep an eye on our website for further details at www.exoticfishingthailand.com..

It wasn't just about monster fish deliveries in March . We were also working very hard to make improvements to all our concrete swims. We extended all 16 of them and also added steps for safe entry and exit into the lake for fish photos. We originally built EFT to a very high standard but we always listen to our customers requests and try to improve even small details where and when we can .

Our busy customers caught 477 fish in March for 78 angler days fished .. Our catch rate for March was therefore 6+ fish per angler day with 29 different species netted. One of the highlights being that 88 Arapaima were caught which is more than one per customer . This was the most Arapaima ever caught in one month and was a direct result of us stocking another 15 Arapaima all of which were over 40 kilos . We didn't really want to stock more fish so soon , but these fish grow so incredibly fast and frankly we were running out of room in our stock ponds.

Martin also landed an Arapaima but this wasn't his first bite for the day . Apparently he had been chased by a monkey as he was going to his taxi somewhere in his hotel and managed to escape with just a few scratches ..

Aaron Heller visited from Australia on a mission to catch his dream Arapaima . As with most anglers who are extremely eager to catch that fish of a lifetime he had to wait until his final day .. Mission accomplished though with this brute of a fish .Unfortunately this is the only pic I have from his visit with his friend Scott but at least it was the right photo .

Good friends Colin and Georgina joined us again and to our surprise Georgina stated that she would have her photo taken with Colin when he caught his next Arapaima. This obviously inspired Colin and it wasn't long before Georgina had to get in the lake to have her photo with Colin and this monster fish .

Colin's Arapaima was one of 420 fish caught in February for 58 angler days fished .. Our catch rate for February was 7+ fish per angler day with 26 different species being caught.

This angler was excited to explain that his personal best fish was a 150lb Wels Catfish . I explained that he had a good chance of breaking that personal record here at EFT . I then stepped out for an hour to buy some bait and when I got back found that he had already landed a 100kilo+ Arapaima ..Happy days for a very nice gentleman and his lovely wife.:)

Having fished many resorts in Thailand I must comment that our guides are some of the hardest working I have ever seen and nothing is too much to ask of them .. You would think there would be communication issues due to our customer's pour Thai :) ,but it hasn't been an issue so far and all joking aside I know our guides are always studying trying to learn a few more words of English ..

I definitely didn't have to worry about fish care with any of their fish as they were both extremely careful .. They are so careful with fish care when Salmon fishing at home that they told me of more than one occasion where they had put themselves in danger in fast moving water to take care of a fish that needed help..

Well things just got better with an after dark Arapaima to make it 2 for the day and 3 for the last 2 half day visits ..I think at this point we had spoiled Tomas for life as it would be a while before he had fishing action like this ..It wasn't all luck that's for sure as Tomas and our staff worked hard to get him his fish

As often happens hard work keeps paying off and Tomas caught yet another Arapaima literally hooking it 2 minutes before 7pm . This finally brought to a close a great few days of fishing and a dream holiday for Tomas who I am confident we will be seeing here for years to come :)

Another species coming out regularly and also demanding some respect due to its teeth is the Goonch Catfish . You really need to keep your fingers away from the mouth of this fish as they have canine teeth which could give you a nasty scrape .. Our guides are always happy to help or hold fish for you if you have any concerns...

I had a new experience personally this month as I got bit by a scorpion .....OUCH!!!. I had gone to the bathroom in the night and got back into bed when I felt something strange on my arm . I swatted at whatever it was and then felt something hit my nose .. At that point I jumped out of bed and turned on the light only to find a small Scorpion on the floor .. My arm and nose both started to feel strange like I had been stung by a bee..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
First job was to flush the Scorpion and secondly to Google "scorpion stings in Thailand" :)... After confirming that they are generally nothing more than a Bee sting which lasts for about 3 hours I calmed down and tried to get back to sleep . That was of course after searching the bedroom 5 times to see if it had any friends .. I cant figure out where the scorpion came from other than he might of got in through the bathroom window or through an open door during the day ...Needless to say I check any clothes especially underwear before getting dressed these days ,just in case:)..

Even though we have our custom EFT catch reports it is still very difficult to write these news letters as there are usually names and other information missing .I have now asked that all names be put on the reports by our staff as we check in our guests ...People do however mark down their catches and if anything they miss a few fish out rather than add fish they didn"t catch .. As a result we think our catch reports are quite accurate and if anything are conservative and understate the total number of fish caught .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
.We are not sure who caught this huge Giant Featherback and didn't want a photo ,but Lek as always was happy to get in for a photo... Many times customers don't understand the significance of a certain catch of a specific species and aren't interested in a photo ..If you would like a photo but dont want to get into the water then our guides are usually happy to oblige .

I was helping guide this group and had to go for a swim as a result of not following my own advise .. I was adjusting the line and didn't have the bait runner engaged . The rod shot off the rod pod and into the lake . Having made this mistake several times over the years my Hippo like reflexes instantly kicked in and following a huge belly flop the rod was back in my hands .. I handed the rod to the customer who landed a nice Siamese Carp while I crawled out of the lake with a pulled groin ...:(

Here is a nice Siamese Carp which was actually hooked twice before it was ready for this photo .. The fish ate the Lum on the float rod before it screamed off and after a line tangle on the spool broke the line.. Someone suggested we try to catch the fish as the float could be seen bobbing here and there around the lake .. I had the bright idea to head out in the bait/paddle boat :)

I could see the float occasionally coming up , but every time I got within casting distance to cast over the dragged line it would submerge . The cat and mouse game continued for some time . I can be very determined at times and there is no way I was going to paddle back to shore empty handed. I decided to just sit in the middle of the lake in the area where the float was bobbing up and down and wait for it to come up close to me .. The strategy paid off and after a few bad casts I finally cast over the trailing line between the float and the fish and managed to secure the line with some primitive knots ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I still didnt know what kind of fish had broke the line so I was thinking Mekong catfish .. I fought the fish carefully while paddling to the closest swim. I signaled to the angler who had been anxiously watching the goings on .. He ran over and I handed him the rod to continue the fight .. The result was a good sized Siamese carp finally landed and a few laughs from all involved ..

EFT didn't let Andrew down though and he landed his new PB Arapaima on the very last day of fishing ... The key as I tell most anglers is to fish hard all day and you will be rewarded like Andrew was.

We welcomed 3 generations of this family from Australia..Grandpa caught the only Arapaima but everyone was happy to get in on the photos .. We strongly encourage family fishing but cannot take responsibility for large groups of small children without prior arrangements. We suggest a half day if bringing small children as it really is a long day to have them out in the sun . We do have the salas with fans and also our fish park to keep them entertained but please think about the heat when bringing your little ones

You don't catch every fish which bites or is even hooked , but it is important to stay focused and work hard until the final whistle blow if you are going to catch the fish of your dreams .Very often I see anglers get down on them selves after losing a fish which was no fault of theirs. Personally I fish every minute to the best of my ability from start to finish so then i can always say I did my best for that particular day ..

This was actually a combined record as without Marie's last minute monster they would have finished with only 4 fish .. Marie had just reeled in her chicken bait and I noticed there was a lot of skin hanging from the chicken which could maybe mask the hook .. I pulled it off and threw it in the lake just 5 meters out and heard something inhale it as soon as it hit the water .. I grabbed the rod and tossed the chicken in the same spot and handed the rod to Marie .. As soon as she had a hold of it the line took off and gave her a start . Paul and I got all the rods out of the way and Marie did a great job to land her first monster Arapaima.

Neil who is a skilled Big game fisherman didn't have the full cooperation of this particular fish as it skillfully shook his hook in a vicious head shake just before the net . Many anglers don't dip their rod when an Arapaima jumps but Neil did everything correct yet luck wasn't on his side.

We weren't just stocking fish in December but also catching . There were as usual some awesome fish caught this month with 538 fish caught and over 30 different exotic species I must admit that as the lake filled with anglers our catch rates did drop slightly from quieter months with an average for December of just over 5 fish per angler day compared with other months of rates over 9 per angler day ...

Last but not least of Martin's Catfish was his biggest catfish species of the trip this Giant Mekong catfish. Even an experienced angler like Martin had his work cut out for him as it took him almost 90 minutes to land this huge River Monster .. Unless you have caught lots of these big fish you might be inclined to take our advise on how to fight them as we do have a few tricks up our sleeve to help you land them as quickly and as safely as possible..

Jan hadn't even finished explaining why he had brought the Santa costume when his rod screamed off with his first Arapaima .. He couldn't wait to get into character and email his friends this photo as they didn't even know he had left home..

Our good friend Nick was visiting us with another regular , Mark from Kathu ,Phuket . They were both looking to catch Arapaima but Nick did the next best thing and caught an Alligator Gar the same size as a small Arapaima :) . Not as big as the monster fish from Texas but probably one of the bigger gars caught in Thailand so far..

While Colin and Paul were busy fishing Georgina and Gill were busy with our new cooking classes . They were our first guest to try the class which is no surprise as it was Gill who asked the question "do you have a cooking classes"? .. I responded with "its on my to do list but what the hell why don't we start now" After a few words with our 2 chefs I found out that one of them had been doing cooking classes for years at a top hotel so we were all set.

Hard work paid off for Paul with his fish of the trip being a monster Mekong Catfish .. Some quick suggestions regarding running the bank by his guide.. YT:)... did help save the day , but full credit to nimble Paul as he was up and down the lake and battled this monster like a true pro .

It was a real pleasure to fish with Paul and also to enjoy his company along with that of Gill , Colin and Georgina.. When i have customers like this here I really think I have one of the best jobs in the world

Another customer who was a pleasure to meet was Dominik Rotter from Austria .. Dominik is a professional football player who plays for Austrian team First Vienna FC ..Dominik came for a day ticket and after a slow start to the day his patience paid off with a late day Arapaima .. He had such a great time we saw him return for 3 more days before he had to return home..Such is the draw of Exotic Fishing Thailand

Wilson's daughter is not only an experienced angler landing Redtail after Redtail like a pro , but also a knowledgeable bird enthusiast . The whole family were so into their birds in fact that we opened the resort early on their second day so they could do some early birding .. They saw several Eagles which are quite common here seen soaring over the lake . They also spotted several kinds of Kingfishers , Fly catchers and lots of others which I am not yet familiar with .

Peter won the side bet between the 2 for the best blooper shot, no competition .Both fishermen really do care about fish care and if they hadn't listened and taken the precaution to step back from the swim when lifting these agile fish there could have been some fish issues .. Thanks for listening lads. I wish everyone did the same !!!!:)

Our catch report photos show we are definitely open and our fish are anything but small :).. We are conveniently located here in Southern Thailand just one hour from Phuket and Krabi airports and only 1 hour from Khao Lak and Ao Nang . Hope to see you soon ....

There were 104 angler days fished with an amazing 822 fish landed, making our average a wopping 8 fish per angler day ..I actually had to total the catch reports twice as I really couldn't believe how many fish came out ,especially the Amazon Redtails with over 250 for the month ..

Arapaima continue to be the stars of the show here at EFT with every customer wanting to catch one .. Our average for November is around 0.7 per customer . It would be great if everyone caught one but that's unfortunately not the case as some catch more than one and some are not as lucky .

Franck and Denis joined us for the first time from France and although they don't speak English very well and my French is almost non existent we had a lot of fun and successfully communicated to make their trip one to remember ...
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I must take a minute to again thank Franck for the lovely bottle of Champagne he brought for us . I was completely shocked and taken back by how nice both him and Denis were to bring such a great surprise. We did manage save it for a special occasion as Boom and I shared it over the Christmas period :):) Thanks again ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
It wasn't long into their first day before Franck was into his first fish with his first Giant Snakehead .. A great Thai fish to start the trip .

Denis followed up not long after with another native Thai fish , this Giant Freshwater Stingray . We already have a limited number of these amazing fish but will not add more as we feel their survival rate when taken from the wild is not very good due to them living in brackish water and not converting easily .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
We would also like to state that we in no way promote Stingray fishing in the wild although I must admit that I did try it once before I found out what is involved .We will be posting on this subject further once our catch reports are up to date , BUT in the meantime if you are considering fishing for Stingrays in the wild ask a few questions before you decide if it is ethically what you would consider sport fishing ...

Rob and Frank Blok returned to EFT this time bringing their better halves .. This didnt make a difference in their competitive nature in fact it might have made it worst . All kidding aside :) they do like to pull each others leg about who has caught the most or biggest fish .. Rob caught several Amazon Redtails with this being the biggest this trip

As we mentioned earlier in the stats there were 71 Arapaima out this month . EFT is by far the best option in Southern Thailand for a day ticket opportunity to catch one of these awesome fish .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
As a comparison one water in central Phuket still advertises Arapaima on their website but to our knowledge they haven't caught or seen one in over 3 years . At other venues we hear that Arapaima are mostly caught in certain swims which are reportedly primarily offered to preferred guests or those staying for longer periods .

You will notice in some photos that we have oxygen in the Arapaima cages . When we catch an any of our Arapaima , Mekong Catfish or any other fish which might look stressed we use the oxygen to help them recover before we release them . Since we started this we haven't lost one Arapaima or Mekong which has been netted .

We have also changed our fish handling rules although you wouldn't see that by looking at some of the photos .. We DO NOT lift Arapaima out of the water especially the big ones ..I think our Thai guides are still having trouble with this one but they will catch on soon I am sure :).

I remember this particular fish as it was caught at 6;59 pm and hooked by yours truly .. After a difficult day for this PIST angler and after more than a few beers I think he was quite content to just chill out .

We are never happy at EFT until we maximize everyone's catch. After a last minute bait up with some extra chicken it didnt take long before I connected and thrust the rod into the anglers hands . He responded with a big smile and did a great job to land the fish safely

I can see from the photo that this fish was caught around 3pm to 3;30 as the shadow from the mountains is just starting to move across the lake .. We are very fortunate that the whole lake is shaded by 4pm and the temperature feels like it drops by 10 C.. The shade often triggers some early evening action as was the case with this fish .

It is always a pleasure when Peter Lyons drops by for a visit . Unless you are our fish of course as he usually catches more than his fair share .. This trip was no different as he caught this monster Alligator gar .. The true monster Gar come from USA but for Thailand we have some of the biggest around.

Our First prizes were free days fishing at EFT but we managed to get some free hats from our fishing line sponsor Redwing Tackle in Toronto Canada . Redwing supply us with their new SABRE TOOTH Spectra braided line. This product really holds up well in the sun and has landed 1000's of fish here at EFT already ...

If you would like more information how you can catch some absolutely amazing fish, you can contact us by email at exoticfishingthailand@gmail.com or through our website at www.exoticfishingthailand.com. We are getting lots of interest for the 2015 season and even into 2016 so make sure to book early ..

A word of WARNING when booking online . Be careful to only book with Exotic Fishing Thailand DIRECTLY as we have heard several recent stories of customers who were trying to book with us and were steered elsewhere by overseas agents ..These crafty keyboard warriors use several tactics. They sometimes say that we are fully booked or even say that we are not open for whatever reason . The best story I have heard was that we actually don't exist as we weren't at that time on Google earth..LMAO... .Its people like these who haven't invested a penny here in the Thai fishing industry that give Fishing in Thailand a bad name.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
We would also like apologize for the lack of photos this month .Unfortunately about one weeks photos were lost when our lake camera suspiciously grew legs :( .I was also a little laxed in emailing people to ask for pics .Generally if people dont send us pics we assume they are not interested to have them included in the report ..

The catch report is again filled with huge Giant Snakehead along with a great selection of other exotic monsters .

I am very happy to see our Goonch catfish now coming out regularly . It seemed like they had disappeared for the first 6 months after stocking ,with only a few fish coming out which actually looked like they had lost weight .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
In my opinion the Goonch were initially adjusting to their new environment and basically didn't feed for a few months . Now they seem at home at EFT and feeding regularly and getting caught more each week.. One of our very first customers in 2013 Gunther Fertig was back again and happy to catch one of our stunning Goonch .

I am not sure of the highlight for them as there seemed to be many ..It was probably in tying the Arapaima record for the highest number of fish caught in one day . They managed 5 Arapaima landing the last fish right at the 7 pm buzzer. This just happened again yesterday with a 3rd person tying the record who also hooked the last fish at 6;55pm ..

We strongly suggest that you fish right up until 7pm as you could catch the fish on your dreams literally on your last cast or the last second. We often catch fish steadily throughout the day but the final 2 hours is usually the best fishing ..

Another Float /lum victim was this Wallagoo Attu. They are not a common fish to catch at other venues but with the bait fish being drawn to the float/lum rig they are being tricked quite easily into getting caught here at EFT when they attack the bait fish ..

This fish came late in the day and was another surprise of the day as it also came on the Float rig ... It was a different type of fight and I couldn't begin to guess what Neil had caught, but was very happy to see one of our Jau Catfish in the net :). Jau are very rare in Thailand and I only know of one other lake which has a few fish ..

I definitely remember the 5th and final Ari as I had just cast the rod out only 10 meters from the swim when the line tore off before I even had chance to put the rod on the rod pod. I handed the rod to Neil who was to say the least quite surprised , but immediately set the hook ..It initially looked like a Redtail run so I left Neil to it and headed in to the restaurant for my dinner . What a great surprise when they came in the restaurant shortly after and told us it was an Arapaima... A simply fantastic way to end a great day ..

The biggest surprise of Neil and Jenny's day was however not a fish . Neil has asked if we could find a birthday desert or small cake to put a candle or 2 in for Jenny's birthday ..I mentioned this to Kuhn Tuk our head chef and she totally blew us away making this yummy chocolate cake from scratch in just 90 mins .

Both of these nice Arapaima came on chicken rigged on the bottom ..One important detail when fishing these chicken pieces is to make sure the hook is well exposed and to check this when recasting . Occasionally the chicken will turn on the hook and the point may get buried in the meat or skin ..

It is often a struggle for me to do the catch reports as quickly as I would like . It is difficult to keep track of who caught what specific species and collect photos from all guests . We have made things more simple by creating our new improved catch reports . These reports contain all the relative information including the angler's name , the date and any email addresses if we need to request photos from customers .. Knowing what specific fish was caught on what day makes it so much easier to match the photo .. There is even an area to write the bait used and any special notes including the scanned tracking chip number from our Arapaima ...
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
The guides and guests sign the report at the end of the day to validate it ' and some customers even take a photo so they have a record of what they caught that day ..

We have also finished our species posters which show a photo of all 66 species which are present in our main lake . We feel this creates some more interest in the many different fish species and are getting very positive feedback from our customers. We will also have a smaller version of the posters available as a souvenir very soon ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

The informative posters are in all fishing salas along with our recently installed fans which are a welcome site to most customers .

Chris we really do appreciate your visit and especially after you explained that a much smaller fishery near Bangkok was pressuring you to cancel with us and go to them.

John from the US was one of our most intense fishermen to visit so far this year . He was to say the least very excited to be here to try to catch Arapaima and literally everything else which swims:). He started his catch report with his first of many beautiful Giant Snakehead.

Our best advise to excited anglers is to try to relax, take our advise as we fish here every day and the fish will come .Once John relaxed a little and got over his initial jet lag it wasn't long before he landed his first Arapaima..

The second day got off to a rocky start after John convinced our Taxi driver to bring him to the resort early and then tried to pay off our guide Noo with 20 baht [ yes 20 baht lmao] to let him start fishing 1 hour early .. This after he had been told 3 times that we do not allow fishing before 8 am . I explained nicely to him any more antics and we would refund his money for the day and he could head home ... I also explained that he is lucky he didnt try that at another fishery or he probably would have got a broken jaw and thrown out on his ass :)..

We do understand that sometimes visitors are very anxious to catch fish and they can get over excited as we are anglers too :)..If you respect our rules we will literally bend over backwards and do our best to get you your dream fish .When you catch fish everyone is happy and everyone wins:).. As a side note if you want to try to bribe us or our guides ;' Noo likes Thai whisky .. Ross likes Rum and I have a weakness for Bombay Gin :)

John caught so many species and some great fish [ Goonch , Wallagoo Attu, more Snakeheads etc ] but unfortunately didn't send us any photos after he got home . I am sure he is busy applying his intensity to his next goal or venture. We wish him well whatever it may be ..

He fished rain or shine was even seen fishing from inside his bamboo sala at times :).. Michael's efforts show how many fish can really be caught at EFT if you work hard and fish for a whole week. . . This is probably the most productive week for one person so far here at Exotic Fishing Thailand. Congratulations Michael , great fishing

This Giant Gourami also fell victim to laam on the float ..This technique is working well right now as the non predators including the Gourami get caught on the laam . The bait fish surround the laam ball and atrract all the predators which get caught when they attack the bait fish .

This was a very nice Arapaima for this day ticket angler who fished a combination of fly and bait fishing throughout the day . This combo gives the angler a break from using the heavy 12 or 14 weight fly rods while also giving the possibility of other species that most likely wouldn't get caught on the fly

Lek was at it again this month catching this nice Siamese.I really cant say enough about our guides here at EFT as they put in a 100% effort and nothing is too much for them when asked .. I was a little nervous to hire Thai guides in the beginning based on some experiences I have personally had at other Thai Fisheries ..After just minimal training from myself and resort manager Ross all three of our Thai guides were guiding like seasoned pros.

With half of our Mekong purchased around the 30kg mark and the other all over 60 and up to 100+ kg I am still a little baffled why we haven't caught any under 60kg. I have my theories based on what the fish were fed prior to coming to EFT but cant really be sure.... Lets see when those smaller fish come on the feed and what size they are when they start to get caught ..

As time ran down Uma needed 2 more fish for the goal of 50 fish in 4 days. She finished on a high with this stunning Arapaima and one short of her goal at 49 fish .. What a great accomplishment for any angler but especially for one who weighs less than most of the fish she caught :) ...Congrats Uma . We hope to see you back again soon ...

The word is definitely getting out about our exceptional fishing , the stunning scenery and even the delicious food at our restaurant . As a result we are starting to book up for some specific days through the high season . We strongly suggest if you are planning to fish with us December through April to call ahead to guarantee a booking.

We didnt expect many anglers in July with it being low season for tourists but we were pleasantly surprised . We were not surprised however by the number of fish which continue to get caught here at EFT..

I think the word is definitely getting out about the amazing fishing here at Exotic Fishing Thailand and what a beautiful place it is to relax and enjoy some of the best catch rates of any fishery in Thailand while waiting for a true monster . .. We are happy to have had 48 angler days fished this month with a staggering 457 fish caught keeping our catch rates very close to 10 fish per angler day ...

We had a promotion this month to celebrate the official opening of our Restaurant to the public . Quite a few locals, friends and visitors from nearby Phuket joined us for free coffee and Thai food specials ..Our chef celebrated the event with some creative food carving .. I want him to do an Arapaima next :)

Our stocking program continued with another huge stingray which our fish supplier adopted from another fishery in Bangkok. This fish had outgrown its surroundings so we were happy to find it a new home . We will not be stocking any more large stingrays as we don't want to promote them being taken from the wild ..Our concern is that if Thai fishermen think they can sell the rays for profit then they will often try to keep them but if there is no market then hopefully they will return them safely to their natural environment

Another fish I have been chasing for sometime is the African Arowana .I had tried to grow some from a small size a few times without much success so i took the plunge and purchased some larger fish which recently came available ..We will try to grow some more of this species as we like to have enough of each species to give the anglers a chance to catch each of the over 60 species .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Some fisheries are continually boasting to have a lot more than our 60+ species . Each to their own I say as frankly we don't see the point to have a few of each of some obscure fish that will probably never get caught just to boost our species numbers. I think we will eventually cap our fish list at 70 catchable exotic species ...

I am not sure how this fish got held up like this but he did survive and I will be having a word with my guides about this . Part of the problem is that everyone gets so excited about landing an Arapaima and forgets what the guides have told them . It may look easy in a photo to handle these fish but it really isn,t in real life ..

Sinane managed a few more Catfish with what we will tentatively call a Vundu Catfish.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
We posted this photo recently on our Catfishing in Thailand Fbook page where a critic eagerly jumped all over the post saying it was not a Vundu and in fact an African walking catfish . For the sake of argument I agreed and changed the text. Frankly I was quite busy with more important things to do and didn't have time to check . I have since checked with the supplier who was the same person to sell my competitor their 1 Vundu and he says it is a Vundu but with a longer dorsal than the typical Vundu . Obviously the common Vundu has a shorter Dorsal and then a more distinct gap before the second fin .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I am still not sure about the true identity of this fish though and will seek some more scientific info soon . Maybe it is a cross between a Vundu and African walking cat for all I know ??..Lets leave it at that and give the EFT critics something else to talk about ...

Before we finish our report for July I would like to say that we really don't take enough time to mention our excellent fishing guides. I would like to take a minute this month to mention one of our top guides Lek .. Lek has been with us for some time now and does a great job in all aspects of his work. He receives nothing but praise from our guests as he works extremely hard and nothing is too much to ask .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Like all our guides and also the management here ,Lek is happy when you the customer are catching fish :). When not catching fish for customers and he gets a few minutes for himself Lek like all of us just loves to catch fish as seen here with this nice Ripsaw

Catch reports are definitely a lot of work both to write and to choose and upload photos.. As a premium fishery we feel it is important to show our potential visitors ,photos of our happy customers and lots of CURRENT fish pics .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
I don't understand why other than a few , that all fisheries and especially agents don't show more CURRENT photos of their monthly catches . We go out of our way to get lots of good photos and are never too busy to take a pic of a client's dream fish . You would think it would be in each company's best interest to do the same ??
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
To further improve our reporting we will be changing our customer catch report form soon to add more customer information and make it easier to record species names etc. Combined with our species poster in all our custom salas we think this will make things more easy and interesting for the anglers and their guests when identifying fish and filling out the report ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Our guides will check and sign the reports at the end of the day and we are happy to provide a copy to our guests so they have an accurate record of their catch to take home.

Well what can I say other than sorry for a VERY late catch report .The July and August reports will be out very soon to get things back on track.There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day lately ... As per usual I have been working 2 jobs and also very busy opening the first stage of our fish park to the local community ....

The Exotic Fishing Thailand Mountain Fish Park is now open with everyone welcome ..The park is basically a fish ZOO . There are 4 ponds where guests can feed Amazon catfish [pond1 ] Arapaima [ pond 2] Barramundi [pond3] and Chao phraya catfish [pond4] . We also have over 20 outdoor aquariums with fish from all over the world . Combine the park with a meal by the lake and this makes a great afternoon out .We are only 1 hour north of Phuket airport if you are looking to get out of Phuket for a nice drive on a Saturday or Sunday..

As you all probably know by now I am addicted to buying new fish .. I know we have lots of stocked fish to keep our customers happy already but I can't help but buy more when I see special fish available. The Black Shark Carp is one of my favorites so when some nice sized ones like this came available I couldn't help put load up the truck .. .

The day of the Albinos continued with 2 lovely Albino Pacu which as far as I know are only available at EFT. I was told by some experts that they were only aquarium fish but they seem to be growing as fast and as big as the regular Pacu . These toothy Pacu and our Alligator Gar are responsible for a lot of the short bites and runs coming on the chicken baits. My advise is just be patient and they will eventually make a mistake :).

Roy Toh and his family were visiting Thailand for a short vacation and came to fish EFT on a Family package day ticket . It started out as a difficult day for them with no hook ups at all in the morning. I was preaching as always that patience pays off and right after our head guide Ross put out a bed of chicken low and behold next cast resulted in this chunky 42 kg Chao Phraya .. A nice fish which gave an awesome fight even with a full belly of chicken ...

Frank also caught his first Vundu Catfish .This African Catfish is similar to the African walking catfish with one of the main differences being the 2 dorsal fins versus only one fin for the Walking Catfish . I obviously dont approve of this fish or any other fish being handled like this but we have since further trained the guides on how to deal with these slippery cats.

Like many anglers Rob was surprised that this nice Pacu came on chicken . These fish like the Tambaqui have human looking teeth that make short work of chicken bones..

We would like to thank PGTV for coming out this month to film a short piece on EFT . We appreciate the advertising as we have a great product and just need to get the word out to the fishing public so that everyone can enjoy all aspects of Exotic Fishing Thailand . I was happy with the video as it was the first time I had to do this kind of thing but it unfortunately didn`t take long for some critics of EFT to surface on Facebook with their tiresome sarcastic comments...

As EFT continues to flourish I am sadly seeing more and more each day that the Thai fishing industry is not the type of professional business that I have been used to with my prior businesses. Fisheries and especially some aggeressive advertising agents are happy to try to steal bookings or customers using whatever underhanded techniques they can .

Misleading advertising in Thai fishing seems to be more the norm than the exception these days. Customers shouldn`t worry too much however as they will be fine if they do their research and use some common sense when reading some of the tall tales and reviewing photos. The internet , as guilty as it is of enabling some sites to appear to be something they are not also has lots of tools to help customers find the truth .

That being said I strongly believe that Southern Thailand in particular is mostly free from this situation .With the exception of the non existent Arapaimas at Phuket Fishing Park of course ..:)

My apologies again for another late newsletter. As some of you know I also have another job other than managing the resort and other EFT business,.
Roll on the day when I can stop this hectic travel schedule and spend more time in Fishing Paradise here at EFT. With our customer list building and lots of future bookings maybe that wont be too far away after all.

Chicken is working really well for the Arapaima right now . Most customers are using one predator rod with chicken and then hiring a second predator rod with sea fish ..The result being lots of Arapaima and a long list of predators ...

It is very important to follow the guides instructions when entering the water for a big fish photo as Arapaima are very strong and unpredictable . They can give a nasty slap with their tails and literally smash the plastic cages if they feel so inclined .

If we feel it is not in the best interest of the fish to be photographed we will occasionally not allow photos. Our price for Arapaima fishing is one of the lowest in Thailand and we can only maintain that price by taking special care of our fish..

For a change of pace instead of "Nice Arapaima Bill" or "Great Arapaim Fred" I would like to talk a little bit about how to hook , fight and land our Arapaima .. I am not saying I am an expert, but I have landed over 120 Arapaima over 50 kg on both conventional tackle and fly rod so I do have some experience which I am happy to share ...

My best advise when fighting an Arapaima [ or any monster fish for that matter ], is to RELAX .. YES ....RELAX and CONCENTRATE. Most anglers know how to play a fish but many times the excitement of hooking a fish of a lifetime takes over and they don't think about what they are doing and therefore reduce their chances of landing their prize catch..

As long as your drag is still set properly then your chances of landing the fish depends a lot on the initial hook position which you can't change anyway after you have made your initial hook set.. The worst thing I see people do is drop their rod tip or move the rod in a jerky motion which creates slack line. This gives the fish a good chance to spit the barbless hook .. With steady pressure and a smooth retrieve you will greatly increase your chances of landing your fish ..

Always keeping an eye on your line condition , drag settings and hook point will increase your chances of landing your big fish . A weak point in your line, bad drag setting or bad hook will only put the odds further in favour of the fish .

If an Arapaima decides to jump or do one of their famous head shakes you will need to lower the rod tip . This is tricky as you need to give them line but at the same time you don't want to give them too much .. I always think of my arm like a shock absorber and try to relax my arm to let the fish take what line he needs ..
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Please remember that these prehistoric monsters are fragile and that you are not Marlin fishing . Reeling like mad and pumping your rod like a mad man will only result in a lost fish or worst still a dead fish ... My last advice is to enjoy the fight as that is what you came to EFT for in the first place :).

The float fishing efforts of anglers have been rewarded with the growing number of predators being taken on the lum balls. There are currently large number of bait fish attacking the lum as soon as it hits the water .These schools of small fish are becoming an easy meal for Arapaima , Yellow Cheek Carp, Featherbacks, Tiger shovel nose and even Barramundi..

Everyone loves catching Arowana .You can see them most of the day swimming within casting distance .. It's like they are playing a game of catch me if you can .They were obviously no match for Stretton who caught several during his trip..

The Tiger Shovelnose Catfish are now coming out primarily on the float with lum .. The reason being as I mentioned earlier is that they are coming up to feed on the large balls of bait fish congregating around the lum.. Always one of my favorite fish .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
This following note is not for our skilled and experienced anglers but for some of the novice anglers who visit us ... When float fishing please remember that not every fish is a Mekong so you don't need to set the hook like crazy and rip the fishes head off..We have lost a few smaller Tigers recently due to customers fighting every fish like it was 100kg .. A 4 kg Tiger wont last long when skull dragged to the net with 100lb braid .Try to feel how big your potential catch is and play it accordingly .WHEN you blow you whistle our guides will be there to land your fish and they can also advise you how to play your fish .

Matt Welch came to EFT for the first time to experience the Exotic Fishing we have to offer . Matt wanted to do a review of EFT for his facebook page called "fishing foreign waters " . Matt has visited many resorts in Thailand this year and gives some interesting and in my opinon honest reports which are worth a read if you are considering fishing in Thailand.

I notice Matt is wearing his whistle which is very important for all anglers BUT I am not sure about the gurly belt ...Especially for one of our smaller Alligator Gar . I made a similar comment on another photo of Matt with the gurly belt on Facebook and in his defence his response was that "after 30 fish I needed all the help I could get" ....Needless to say Matt enjoyed some exceptional fishing in his 3 days here at EFT

My apologies for anyone we didn't include or if anglers names were missing etc . I often dont meet some of the anglers in the catch report so to write about them is very difficult .. We will have some new fish lists in July which will include space for customers names and contact information and room to add any special notes about their catches and experience ..

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
April was a busy month at Exotic Fishing Thailand, welcoming more new customers , putting the final touches to our "Mountain View Restaurant " and finishing our landscaping. The weather has continued to be hot and sunny although we are starting to get a little rain in the afternoons. The weather definitely didn't affect the fishing though with 32 angler days fished and anglers catching 374 fish for an average of over 11 fish per angler day . With the summer season coming I can only imagine how many fish will be caught per angler day with anglers occasionally having the whole lake to themselves..

Our junior angler of the month had to be Ben Bragoli who was here fishing with his dad Steve on their first visit to Exotic Fishing Thailand. They took advantage of our "Family Fishing Special" and had a blast catching over 20 fish and loads of new species . If you haven't heard about our super value "Family special" you can learn more at http://www.exoticfishingthailand.com/rates.htm . Parent and child can fish with 4 rods in one swim for the amazing price of only 7000 baht per day including bait .

The African Vundu catfish was one of the new species for the Bragoli team :).. These fish have grown rapidly as we bought all our Vundu stock at only 4 inches just 2 years ago.

I was probably more excited than the customers when our first Jau Catfish came out . These fish are difficult to find , very expensive to buy , and if you choose to grow them almost impossible to grow due to their aggressive nature . This Jau is a big fish for Thailand but not our biggest here at EFT . We also have a growing stock of smaller fish which we are gradually introducing to the main lake as they reach a safe size to release them. We have to be careful not to add fish too soon as the many Chao Phraya Catfish are always looking for an easy meal:).

The Arapaima numbers per angler have gone up again this month as there were 42 fish caught for 32 angler days fished . That's an average of 1.3 Arapaima per angler day . These awesome catch rates give all anglers who visit EFT one of the best chances of catching an Arapaima of over 50 kg in all of Thailand. We would love to offer an Arapaima guarantee BUT unfortunately some anglers are more lucky than others . Every month we have anglers who catch 2, 3 or more Arapaima while we still have anglers who dont catch any.

My best advice for catching Arapaima or any fish on the predator rod for that matter is to check your bait regularly as the smaller fish can devour your fish bait in less than 15 minutes ..I have heard of some anglers commenting about short bites and the large number of feeder fish at EFT . We have a very healthy lake environment at EFT and our fish are also healthy and growing fast . I am sure it wont be long before our feeder fish numbers thin out especially with even more big predators being added soon ...

This lady angler on a day ticket had unfortunately not hooked a fish before 2 pm . The fishermen 2 swims down were already over 12 fish so I decided to offer her an extra predator rod. By the time I had got back with the rod things had changed and she was already into her first fish , this nice Amazon Redtail .

It didnt take long before the next fish hit the net with this very nice Asian Redtail .. Some days it is like someone flicks a switch and the fish just start feeding . We generally catch fish all day but as a rule they really seem to turn on around 330pm as the whole lake comes under shade from the mountains .

Tobias from Denmark joined us for what can only be described as a red letter day. I knew right away he would do well as he was just such a nice person happy to catch whatever came his way. This kind of angler usually does well as they listen to the advice we give them and fish hard but relaxed . He started off with a nice Siamese and ended up with over 20 fish for the day.

Steve Whent was very happy when his wife Saleha brought him to EFT as a birthday gift .. After a screw up on my part where I picked them up late from their Hotel I made it my mission to make sure they would have a day them would not soon forget . With me as their personal guide we decided to fish a Mekong Catfish method BUT with the intent on catching predators. The predators had been charging the lum balls on the feeder to eat the feeder fish feeding on the lum .This beautiful Yellow Cheeked Carp was the first to fall victim to this method.

The guys were fishing alternate runs so one angler would take one run and then the other angler the next .. I lost count how many runs they missed due to confusion over whose turn it was and then things got even more crazy when 2 rods would go at the same time :)... Even so they caught lots of fish including several Piraiba..

Also my apologies for another late catch report .. It is still early days here at EFT and I still have a full time job in Korea as well as managing the resort with the help of Ross and Boom and our staff . The catch report always ends up coming last with customer care and fish care at the top of the list ..We do endeavour though to show as many pics as possible and to highlight the different species caught . We see a lot of reports where venues state they have caught this and that yet show very few photos . Each to their own I guess , but as a good friend said recently "it's fish photos that put bums on seats and not sunsets and Sunday dinners".

March has continued where February left off with hot weather and super hot fishing here at Exotic Fishing Thailand. Everyone has been working hard as usual with the main focus being on final touches to our "Mountain View Restaurant" and EFT Mountain Fish Park.. The restaurant is serving a full menu already and we are just finishing some landscaping before sharing some photos. Restaurant photos will be in our April catch report and Fish Park photos in May.

The fishing has continued to be very productive at EFT with 415 fish caught this month and 38 angler days fished .That's yet another amazing month with average catch rates of almost 11 fish per angler day.
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
As the lake continues to fish better than many lakes in Thailand there are obviously some critics. Last month it was guiding services telling our clients that our resort doesn't exist and this month its another resort making negative comments about clients catching too many fish :) .We are obviously doing something right if others are so concerned ...
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
One venue close to Cha-Am wrote in a recent catch report that resorts having catches of 20 fish or more in a day [ which occurs almost every week here at EFT ]are obviously overstocked and the fish must be starving and of poor quality ..I found this especially interesting as one of the same resort's regular clients fished EFT for 3 days in a row this month and happily landed over 60 healthy fish :).Ironically the same resort only managed 9 fish photos in total for their whole March report with excuses that they were too busy cooking big breakfasts and roast dinners to take photos lol.. .
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
Here at Exotic Fishing Thailand we leave the cooking to our chef while we take lots of fish photos and we will definitely be continuing to stock our lake with more new species, bigger fish and of course feed them a healthy diet :).

Most anglers are catching Arapaima on Batu fish baits , but they are also getting caught on chicken and on believe it or not ,lum under a float . The predators are basically attacking the small bait schools which are attracted to the ball of lum under the float and getting caught on the same set up we use for carp and Mekong catfish..

I had this happen once more in march where a Russian family showed up on a Sunday afternoon and asked to fish . They explained that they had no experience and asked if I could guide them . I fished with lum ball on the float and landed them 2 Arapaima and one Yellow Cheek in 2 hours . They didn't even want to reel the fish in as they said it was too big ?? . They just enjoyed a nice lunch , watched me catch fish for them to photo and left after 2 hours ..I wish they would come back every Sunday:)

Andrew's 62 fish haul is a new record for 3 consecutive days fished at EFT. I am sure Stretton will take a shot at that when he visits in May :)and Sinane will chasing it too when he returns in July ..

This Yellow Cheeked carp was one of several new species for Andrew. He learned quickly that these fish are super strong and hard to hold on too. I can only describe it as trying to hold onto the tail of a fresh salmon as it runs a river. Not so easy...

Carp over 50 kg sell for an absolute fortune in Thailand so we are happy to buy some smaller fish in the 30 to 35 kg range and grow them on while spending our fish budgets on many different species rather than just on Siamese Carp. We believe some of our Piraiba, Yellow Cheeks and Chinese Black Carp will become some of the most sought after fish in Thailand in the coming years as they continue to pack on the kilos..

It is not just about the fish at EFT and you dont have to look far for beautiful birds and amazingly coloured butterflies here as they often visit your swim while you fish ..
