Tried the lake down by Nong Bua Rd, It's about 5 Klicks from the lights beside Global.
Came home with lots of fish all a good size.
Good place and a nice owner.

Hi udon man
Can you remember the lake name and directions etc as I will be newbie to udon in October but a mad keen angler and clearer info would be brill

Well done,
What setup and bait did you use?
Do you know what type of fish you caught?
Mick

Tried feeder with the usual paste mix and a hook with worm. Also tried just the worm and weight on the bottom. As there were so many fish both methods worked.
He has Planine & Catfish.
Although it's a very tidy place you should take boots with you and some refreshments.
Well worth a visit!

Thank You Jim,
Anyone interested can PM me.
John

My udon friend thinks the lake is called 555 fishing park next to the cement works? Is this where you fish?

No it is not 555. PM John for directions. Great place and many fish. lf you saw Johns first post he described what he had stocked the ponds with and the number of fish he put in. Please believe me when l say there are plenty fish.
If you intend going better to contact him to make sure he will be at home. It would be a great venue if this lace could take off.

Cheers udonman,
Have just received a pm from john with his contact details.
Sounds great and just what I'm looking for, so I will wet a line as soon as I can in early October
Maybe we can meet up for a session or two when we get settled and I have more time too fish different venues etc
Thanks again for your help
Paul

John can you give me where i must go for your fishing place?

PM sent
thanks,
John

P.S. If we have anyone who loves good clean catfish, they will be 3 for 150 Baht, including fishing, until they get bigger.
John

Will try and get back for a days fishing next week John. Have to get out to the farm when this rain stops for some worms again.
Just wondering what bait those Kippers will go for!!!.

Jimmy.

Another good catch today John. Wife very happy.
Thanks.

TY,
Got to keep the missus happy!!!

In relation to the pic I saw of the bait cage: a small piece of a woman's nylon stocking works well. Pig liver inside for catfish. Pig liver without the stocking stays of fairly well. A lot better than most things.

excuse me for hooking in this topic..I am planning a big grand tour for close up to a year thru Thailand in 2016. I am a 'Masterbaiter' and would love to fish in Thailand.

I want to try the ponds/ lakes too but especially 'wild fishing' or shore/ sea fishing. maybe rent my own fishing boat if this is possible in Thailand.

to other fishers:

- anyone interested in travelling around in Thailand and fish?
- maybe someone knows the rules and regulations about fishing in Thailand? do you need a permit to go fishing 'wild' or shore/ sea fishing? I sent several mails to official government offices in Thailand but unfortunatelly no answer at all sent fishing stores an email but no answering??
- and thinking to bring my own fishing gear from Belgium. what are the 'fishing gear requirements to fish at lakes'? can anyone tell me anything about this maybe? thank you.
- can anyone give me more information about renting your own fishing boat in Thailand? is this possible? or has anyone a fishing boat and can I 'rent/ hire' you to go fishing at sea? or what about fishing on the big rivers?

hope anyone can help this 'masterbaiter'.. tried to get information at several fishing lakes, fishing gear stores, governmental offices but...

There are no national laws about angling in Thailand. Locally, in some ponds and lakes no fishing is allowed (e.g. typically formal park lakes) and some villages will have ponds where fishing is intermittently banned. Also many ponds are privately owned so you cannot just drop your line in any pond .... The only wild freshwater fishing worth bothering with is in remote areas or some large reservoirs - again remember most of these 'public' ponds, lakes and rivers are utilised by the locals as a food source - often commercially - so although legally you can fish them, you could be viewed as a competitor trying to muscle in on their 'territory'. That is why it is hard to give general advice, and why you will not get any from government offices.

Most freshwater fishing is done in fishing parks - some of which are more like goldfish bowls and some wilder. And some fishing parks also have low stocking rates; some have lots of larger fish - you generally get what you pay for.

Away from the main tourist areas fishing parks will probably be rather mediocre. After 7 years of fishing locally, i don't bother with fishing parks much, fishing in my own families ponds is just as good (usually better) and free.

Don't know much about the sea fishing.

Hi Rick thank you for your information. over here in europe I have been fishing in private ponds/ lakes too..it's ok for a few times..prefer the open water rivers/ big lakes, and te ocean. I will open a new topic for my questions thou..

Had a mate ask a while back about the same thing.
This was one website I sent him. No idea if it is any good as he cancelled the trip to Thailand.

Nong bua Lamphu fishing Park is the best in the area, it has lots of big Siamese carp and amazon redtails, Just look at their facebook page. It is well worth the days visit
