We had a very nice sunday afternoon at the fishing lodge, myself and 14 year old stepson opted to fish the lower lake package as the thought of catching a large predatory fish would make my day.
I had the first bight of the day and almost caught a 2kg Pacu but on the third attempt at landing the Pacu bit through the line.............
My stepson then had a fantastic knock on his rod and then was into some great sport with what turned out to be 4.5 kg cat fish
The staff then encouraged my wife to have a go on the top lake almost strait away she hooked up with a 10 kg carp but it was to strong for her so she passed the rod to stepson but trying to hard to real it in and not play it first said carp broke off.
I then decided to hire two more rods and fish both lakes at the same time and this paid great dividens i caught 3 catfish the wife had a Rohu Carp and something else the nipper hade 4 catfish i think a Rohu and some Nin at one point we where running in between the two lakes for two hours of non stop excitement, the potential was there to catch a lot more as many did break off down to our inexperiance, here's some more pics check out the wife giving one fish a kiss i think she has been watching to many fishing programs on Sky tv................
The staff all thou limited english were experianced and on the ball and worked bloody hard for us all afternoon, they new i wanted to catch a red tail so without me knowing they set another rod up around the back of the lower lake , next thing they shouted on me to come quickly they had managed to get a bight from a red tail but with my inexperiance it broke off.
This afternoon has been the high light of my holiday i will recommend this all day long as a good family day out we also had another friend with us and she was quite happy to sit in a deck chair with a good book, the gentle breeze and the wind chimes good food and ice cold beer makes for a very nice day.
I will say a very big thankyou to the staff and the two staff that helped us all afternoon were well worth of 150 baht tip each.
If i can sum this up in a few words............"I recon we had more rod action than the saturday night down the Bintabaht"
