Background: My father fished for Salmon in the waters of the Finnish capital of Helsinki. Father taught me the secrets of fishing at a young age. We would go out to cast our lines in his boat whenever we had the time. Fishing is my passion. It is always a challenge. Today, I'm running a fishing charter and I have a wonderful captain that knows all the best fishing spots in the area. I will be there to meet and greet you before you start your trip.
Techniques: Here in Thailand I like to use live bait. But when the sea is rough trolling behind island is more comfortable. High Speed Jigging is a hard work but might have a very good results. We have many artificial reefs with in 20 km distance.

Absolutely Wonderful! They went above and beyond what was expected. We caught too many fish to count. Stopped by an island for a quick swim and went right back to fishing after we cooled off. The crew was right there to take the fish off the hook and rebait for us. Very rough and windy, but we still caught so many fish.

Full Day Fishing Trip with Jari and Crew

This fishing trip was the perfect antidote for stress/anxiety/depression from Bangkok city life. it was awesome to connect with nature and each other on the boat and beach. we had to go back to the grind but felt completely refreshed from a one day fishing trip.

Captain with 20 year experience take you to very interesting places in Siam bay. Modern boat. Possible to eat your catch in their restaurant. Pricing very resonable. This is must for every fisherman visiting Pattaya. Big groups up to 15-20 possibility.
