Catch Report Phuket Thailand

1

11/09/2007
The day was a bit overcast but we had some sunshine. We had just rigged the boat up and wanted to head out for a test day to check everything. We were just South of Racha Noi and hooked up with a nice sailfish. As the day went on the water became choppy but we continued to fish. We managed to land a nice King Mackerel 7Kg on a red and white Storm. We were also running Repala X-Rap Mag 30 but the fish did not even look at them. Here are a few pics from the day… Enjoy !!

Update.. 26-09-2007 report. The weather was not good but we went out anyway. We hooked up with a nice dogtooth tuna about 500m south of Racha Noi. The dogtooth tuna was taken on a red / white Storm. Later in the day we hooked up with a nice king mackrel and a small mahi mahi. It rained most of the day and water conditions were rough. We still had many lines out. We had the downriggers, outriggers, and flat lines all out. Here are some photos of our trip out.

Yes, the sea was rough yesterday, by the look of the first picture, you all were riding at least 2.5m waves, but you have a good and stable boat which can withstand that condition. Hope that the weather will be better tomorrow morning. Good luck to you all, chok dee na karp !![8D][8D][8D]

Sorry for the delay but my internet was down Anyway Friday was a Great day out. The weather was very nice and the seas were as calm as I have seen them in a long time. We had four hook up’s but only landed two Wahoo. One was about 7 Kg and the other was about 5 Kg. We tried many luers but just could not get on the fish good. Well all in all we had a very nice day out. Here are a few photos from the day. Enjoy

Good catch Dan ! The sea condition was superb on Friday, but not yesterday and today with about 3.5m waves and west wind of 50km/hr according to weather forecast. Many anglers here had to make a U TURN back to the jetty yesterday.

Yes, I know how that can be. We had a rough day out the other day. Safety First !!! I hope the weather clears soon. I would like to make another trip or two before I have to go back to my real job for a month..... hehehe :-)
