メコンナマズとシャムコイの漁が豊漁を保証

Wow—fishing trip of a lifetime. I booked a trip with John to target Mekong catfish and Siamese carp, and it exceeded all expectations. John picked me up at 7:30 sharp from the hotel in a clean, comfortable car, and it was a short drive to the venue. Everything was well organised—rods, bait, and an on-site assistant handling bait prep and landing fish. John clearly explained the technique, using Thai ground rice paste as bait. On my second cast, I hooked my first Mekong catfish—an absolute monster. The fight was incredible, the reel screaming like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Before I’d even settled, I was into another—my biggest Mekong, estimated by John at around 40 kg. At one point I genuinely thought it might pull me in. Then came my main target—a Siamese carp around 40–45 kg. A truly special catch for me. By 11:30 we took a break, and John arranged lunch delivered straight to our hut by motorbike—perfect timing after landing six fish (and losing one to the structure). After lunch we went again, catching more carp and Mekong. By 2 pm I called it—completely exhausted from the power of these fish. In just 4.5 hours, I landed 12 fish and lost 4 (a few schoolboy errors while landing!). John was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, patient, and a great tactician throughout. Highly recommended if you want a serious fishing experience in Thailand.

John is the most professional fishing enthusiast and guide. He spiced up our fishing experience with well-taken photos and videos, interjected with his animated expressive narration. This is our 2nd fishing trip with him. As a Singaporean as well, our family connected instantly with him. So rare and wonderful indeed to engage a Singaporean guide who speaks fluent Thai! There is no need for us to face the communication barrier and we enjoyed the fishing alot more as he arranged the bookings, logistics and managed the fishing assistant for us. We caught so many giant Mekong catfish, more than 20 of them! My husband, myself and my son took turns reeling. His photos and videos compilation at the end of every trip is indeed a wonderful keepsake with the fondest memories. Been there done that! And feeling proud.
