Fishing In Phuket PHUKET offers anglers the chance to fish year round, whether they want to target billfish, or just concentrate catching smaller fish on light tackle. Normally sailfish stay around the local islands all year making it a fish that can be caught on a day charter even in the monsoon season (May-Sept) with June through till February the peak season. On good day’s large numbers of sails can be seen jumping and swimming around the islands of Racha Yai and Koh Rok. Most sailfish are caught during the afternoon giving anglers the chance to fish for other species in the morning. Black Marlin (Aug-April) can be found just about anywhref thref are Tuna to be found. Although not large in size they are good fun on stand-up gear. 2000 has been the best season so far, many days several being caught the biggest this year 220kgs. Other species that can be caught around Phuket include: Sailfish : year round with July-Aug. Nov-march peak times. Up to 60 kgs. Wahoo : (June-March) up to 25kgs. Tuna’s all year. (skipjack, yellowfin, longtail, eastern little and dogtooth) mostly schooling. Dolphin fish : year round best time June till March. Up to 15kgs. King mackerel : year round best time Jan-March. Up to 22kgs. Giant trevally : year round best time Nov-July when they shoal up, great popper sport. Up to 40kgs. Bottom fish : year round supply but Similan islands best Oct-April. Aboard REEL HOOKER we offer the chance to target all species of fish whether you prefer a day charter Or a multi-day live-aboard up to six days. Destinations include: Racha yai, Racha noi the drop-off for day charters and Koh rok, Similan islands for multi-day live-aboard and ANDAMAN ISLANDS. Watch out for details and catch reports. CATCH AND RELEASE. Aboard REEL HOOKER we have a strict billfish and shark release policy, other than world record or other record fish. We feel it is necessary to preserve the stocks and help with conservation. DESTINATIONS DAY CHARTER 9.00 am – 6.00 pm. Good fishing can start as close as ten miles from Chalong Bay whref the boat is kept. The islands of Racha Yai and Racha Noi offer some of the best fishing to be had on a day charter. Sailfish roam the islands and during the afternoons the action can be quite spectacular with multiple hook-ups possible on this the most graceful and acrobatic of all the billfish. RACHA YAI Without doubt over the course of a year this island produces more sailfish strikes than any other mainly because most people head straight thref. The islands hold a good bait population and often sailfish can be seen with schools of small tuna attacking the balls of bait. Free jumping sailfish are so common that sometimes it's hard to know which way to look. Often during the Phuket International Sportfishing Classic held each November the competitors come in after each days fishing with stories of how many sailfish they have seen. Livebait and belly-strips with teasers seem to be the most productive methods. Often King Mackerel and Wahoo can be a nuisance biting the livebaits in half. Dolphin fish of a good size are another good sporting fish that often take the baits intended for sails. If it's a Sailfish your after this should be your choice destination. The island is only a one hour run aboard REEL HOOKER which gives you more fishing time during the early evening when the fishing is at it's best which the slower boats miss out on. RACHA NOI Before reaching the island thref is a very large coral reef known locally as Tan Kram whref on the right phase of the moon shoals of Giant Trevally can be seen crashing bait schools. This sight gets my adrenaline going into top gear.Casting poppers into the shoal of often several hundred fish as big as 30 kg can be an experience you will never forget. Once hooked on light spinning outfits these fish are the toughest pound per pound fish that swim in the sea. Several other pelagic species also hang around the reef including Black Marlin. On the east side of the island is whref I have caught my biggest sailfish 65 kg during a fantastic run of large sailfish Dec 2000 and Jan-Feb 2001.No one was fishing for them thref before so they had gone untouched. I will target them again this season. This side of the island often produces several Wahoo during June- Feb. As you reach the top of the island you look out into an area that looks like it holds fish. Three underwater reefs provide up-swellings and currents that make big fish feed around this area. Several large Black Marlin have been landed href including my second largest of 200 kgs which took 3 hours 25 mins and a tough 133 kgs fish which took 4 hours 45 mins to land on 30 lb stand-up by Kam Ka Ng from Singapore. (A very worthy capture). Wahoo patrol these reefs as if they own them and during the full moon period several fish can be caught often of a good size. Giant Trevally shoal on these reefs and again the action can be fantastic. Quite often sharks are seen amongst the Trevally shoals href. For good all around action RACHA NOI should be your choice of destination. THE DROP OFF Roughly 25 miles out from Phuket lies the Continental shelf. Although not a very steep drop compared to other areas the drop off still holds some good fish. Black Marlin hang around the shoals of tuna and can be caught using lures or live baits. Some nice school size yellow fin tuna up to 15 kg can also be caught along with Wahoo, Dolphin Fish, Barracuda and even the odd Sailfish. All DAY CHARTERS include lunch, soft drink, water, equipment and bait SIMILAN 96 kilometres northwest of Phuket lie the Similan Islands, a marine national park that consists of nine islands. Generally known as one of the world’s top scuba diving destinations, the waters surrounding these islands also offer some of the best saltwater fishing opportunities in the world. The Andaman Sea hosts a variety of fish that are abundant in this area - from the smaller gamefish such as Wahoo, Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, Tenggiri that are found within the relatively shallow waters of the islands to the larger big game fish of Black Marlin, Sailfish and many species of sharks that are found in the deeper waters at the seamount, 25 kilometres west of the Similans. Fishing techniques used are as wide in range as the fish to be caught and as the environment in which they live. Both Thai and European cuisines are served aboard these liveaboard charters. Your deep sea fishing catch is the highlight of most meals and the chef is open to suggestion on how it can be served or can recommend and prepare a creation uniquely and deliciously flavoured with Thai herbs and spices. Tuna can be served almost immediately after catching as sashimi or sushi. Barbeques and fish frys are the focus of full course meals. While at the Similans, take the advantage of exploring the spectacular
underwater environment. Scuba diving is an option while chartering
the Andaman Hooker or the Dorado. Local licensed dive shops can
supply all the necessary equipment and a qualified PADI divemaster
will lead you on every dive while you are exploring the underwater
beauty of the area. Remember to bring along your open water diving
card if you would like to dive Similan Islands trips include the following: All meals aboard these charters are provided and chefs cater to
both Thai and Western cuisines. Your catch of the day may be cooked
to your liking or, simply ask your chef to prepare a special dish.

Finned Trevally, Cobia, Narrow Barred Mackerel (Tenggiri) and Rainbow
Runners. For the big gamefishing enthusiast, Black Marlin, Sailfish
