Hello Anglers. Please forgive me I do not read or write Thai.
I love your country very much. I was lucky I could live in Thailand for 2 years in 2008 to 2010. When I stayed there I fished alot.
เงาน้ำ is my favourite venue. I found Bung Samran too commercial. เงาน้ำ also has the big fish. You are very lucky to fish in your country.
Thailand is number 1 for freshwater fishing. The Amazon is probably very good too but I do not think the fishing is as easy there. Now you have the Amazon fish in Thailand you have the best of both worlds.
These are some of the big fish I caught in Thailand. I like to come back again for holidays because now I need to work in England again.

When I lived in Thailand I learned to use the conventional reel. I like to use the Alutecnos Gorilla 12 or 12C and the Maxel Sealion. The maxel is like the Jigging master but has 2 speeds.

I also like to use the small jigging rod. FC moster ozone are my favourite.

Many for fishing in England like to make the 3.5m rod. I see when many Europeans come fishing in Thailand they still make the big rods. Too me this is crazy.
One time I went to Spain to try and catch the Wels catfish but after 1 week I did not catch. Fishing in the river is very difficult. I will go again.
I also wanted to try my jigging rod and my reels to catch sharks. This year I got to go to Florida fishing. I caught the sandbar shark, black tip shark and bull shark with the same rod and reel I use in Thailand.
The power is very strong. These shark would like to eat catfish for breakfast.
The tail is very big like the mekong catfish. I hope you like the pictures.
