Deep sea fishing, Big game fishing and sports fishing in Phuket is a top 10 activity in Phuket and is a popular activity enjoyed by experienced fishermen and first timers as well. The nearby fishing areas of the islands Racha Yai, Racha Noi and the Drop Off provide some excellent game fishing year round. We will at time venture to Green island or Koh Keow when the sail fish are know to be biting.
For overnight, multi-day charters we are available to extend our fishing spots to Similan Islands, Koh Rok, Phi Phi Island and even The famous untouched Burma Banks.
Fish species targets by trolling include Dorado, sailfish, mackerel, tuna, cobia and barracuda. You can see the seasonal catch below.
About catching a marlin in Phuket. There have not been marlin caught in this region for maybe 10 years. Some unscrupulous fishing advertising states that marlin are available to deceive people to belive they can get one of these. In short_ no chance of catching a marlin in Phuket.
Fish species targets by bottom fishing with rod and reel or hand-line are grouper and snappers.
The catch rates, as in fishing always an unknown. Some days are full action, some days are quiet. Most days do provide a good catch and everyone is very happy with their day out. When I get the chance to go out I always expect to catch fish. When I book a guest for a day fishing, I expect a good catch. The boat operators are the same.
Occasionally I receive a complaint about the join on charter after a day without luck. The fish were not biting. We always try hard to catch fish. The crew benefit greatly and rivalry between boats is strong but we cannot control the fish. Often we see the sail fish lazing in the sun but they will not take a line. Our captains use the years of local knowledge but if the fish will not bite, it is just one of those days. That's fishin!
Perhaps if you miss the big one, the chase was on and fun. A great part of Phuket fishing is the enjoyment of being on the water, cruising a scenic coast and out among tropical islands with crystal clear water and brilliant reef fish that eat from your hand. Maybe not the perfect day but a really good day anyway. You will be happy.
The fishing and snorkeling in Phuket is on par with some of the best fishing destinations in the world. You have the chance to hook a very good fighting fish. The thrill of a life time!
You will never catch a big one unless you try! Here is your chance now. Get the group together and it is a very cheap day out with transfers and lunch etc.
