Thailand Holiday 2008 Part 6 Fishing

Afternoon all,

This one of the days we had together with Bob and Annie. Bob suggested to go fishing. Jackie was supposed to go off with Annie to go and get pampered but at the last moment Jackie decided that she had to try this fishing too. The main reason for that was that all the stuff that she hates about fishing gets done for you there. They stick the bait on, you cast the rod, you catch a fish, they net it for you and the land it and unhook it. No slimy hands or anything. Also they serve you drinks all day right at the place where you are fishing and they have a decent restaurant too where they serve great food. The place has its own website, the place is called Hua Hin Fishing Lodge.

They have two lakes at the moment. I believe they are looking at extending the place in the future, it has only been open a year or two...

This is me after catching a small silver carp...

This is Annie, showing off a Pacu that Bob caught. These buggers have really big teeth...

This Jackie landing her first big fish. She had started well. Bob and myself were expecting to catch the most fish, well, jackie spoiled that. When Bob and I finally caught something she already had caught 3 fish....

Dunno what it was but it was a nice size...

This is Bob releasing another Pacu. He caught three of the toothy monsters that day...
Here he is showing off the first one...

Look at the size of the gnashers on that one... They say that it can bite of your fingers but I wasn't man enough to test that statement....


This is me with the biggest fish of the day on the hook. It was some sort of bottom feeder, possible a type of catfish. It weighed about 6 - 7 pounds...

Look at that beauty!

Bob, I caned your arse this time. When I get back there I will give you a chance to come back and beat me! Again many thanks to Bob and Annie for making our stay a very nice one! We owe you one!

Take care,
Alex.
