First, I must admit my ignorance when I said there were Barramundi in Thailand, I was very surprised. Thinking they were only native to Australia, I noted that these fish in freshwater lakes act of completing many across Asia. So I went along to Bor Num lake with a friend of mine (John), who is also a fisherman enthusiastic and has been living in Bangkok for over thirteen years.

The lake is actually called Num Bor Barramundi fishing park, and ticket for day costs 100 Thai baht (about 2 pounds or U.S. $ 3), excellent value for money. It is possible to hire spinning and face an additional 100 baht per person. Num Bor lake also offers the opportunity to try your hand at fly fishing, the price is the same as always chooses the fisheries code. We suggested we use for fishing lures for barramundi, we completely agree-Lure fishing resources provided that the action and excitement is unsurpassed in Fishing predators using this system.

Turns out Barramundi fishing is extremely popular among Thais, especially on weekends, where many come to enjoy the fishing. Although catch and eat their quarry is something that has never appealed to me, many fishermen here, both Thai and foreign do. You can enjoy these fish in the restaurant at additional cost, if desired, the fish is prepared by local chefs to your liking (the lake is stocked frequently to counteract the fish caught for the pot). You can always put the fish back if this is not your thing.

There is not much protection against the sun here so one should be well covered when the sun easily nuke skin, sunscreen even fight to keep the rays at bay. So, a good hat and a shirt long sleeves are the order of the day.

The staff was very kind that gives us plenty of tips and advice, without which I feel may have difficult to catch, when fishing here is necessary to use different fishing techniques when he is home.

The Barramundi have been commercially exploited lakes here in Thailand for over twenty years, are extremely aggressive and hunters when connected to a serious fight. As general information exchange with the waterfalls filled with energy, causing large patches as land again, which approved the fisherman much applause and joy of local observers.

We found that poppers with a fly attached to a leader of 30 pounds proved to be the lure of more successful (as recommended by the guide). Barramundi have a sharp gill plate and larger fish can cut through 40-pound fluorocarbon leader shock of a blow. We used Bait Casting rods 6 feet long and Bait Casting reels that are specifically used to attract fish (which are much like multiplying coils).

The lake is a fish farm and is very easy here in white if you use the wrong methods, but if you do well one day had been fantastic. The fish range in size form 1 kg (2.2 pounds) up to and beyond 10 kg (22 pounds).

Incredibly the first cast of the day resulted in John hit a monster, and within seconds the Barramundi jumped over the water creating much excitement in the field (the guideline stating that when water fish violations, it is better to lower the rod tip, to give the fish too many chances to throw the hook) John then proceeded to fight for another five minutes with his prey, once again the magnificent barramundi cleared the water several times before finally submitting aa network. A 4.8 kg of fish in the model first and about twenty in all, not bad for a couple of rookies.

Some tips: —

Is debatable whether to use a tour company or not. If you are sure to find their way and have your own transport, then it is imperative to pay extra for a company Desk. Born Num staff is very experienced and probably knows more about water than the guidelines of the agencies.

If fishing bait fish you should buy, you can not catch and release the bait because of the almost guaranteed to take.

A small tip is appreciated, but not required for tourist guiding in Bor Num – B100 gave tip for good service all day

The guides are usually kept very bust looking after 5 or 6 anglers at a time.

Food and beverages are ordered through the guide, so you do not have to leave the water's edge.

The toilets are European style, but clean.

There is a very friendly atmosphere and local fishermen are more than willing to help, give advice and tips with friends without being too intrusive.

So every day in all a great was had by all and we made to ourselves and no doubt hooked Num Bor again soon.
