Krabi newsletter December 2011

Hi all from Gillhams Fishing Resorts. Once again it’s time for our monthly report on the fishing in Thailand. The fishing in Krabi this month has once again been on good form and the new pellets have surprised us in the way the fish have taken to them so quickly. It seems that every fish in the lake has taken to this new food source; the Mekong catfish in particular are really wolfing them down with our best month ever for this species. Even the arapaima are loving them, and in our stock ponds the arapaima are ignoring fish baits in preference to the pellets. We are not sure if the Siamese carp are slower getting onto the pellet, or just getting pushed off by the Mekongs!

Krabi newsletter November 2011

Hi once again from all at Gillhams Fishing Resorts. It’s newsletter time, our monthly report on the fishing in Thailand. The fishing in Krabi this month has once again been good – the lake has fished well this year. Our dry season is kicking in as I write this report and the warmer temperate species are starting to feed, namely the Mekong catfish. As the weather gets warmer, the Julian’s golden prize carp are starting to make an appearance. The arapaima and Amazon redtail catfish are doing their usual and feeding early morning and late evening; the Siamese carp as ever are staying constant, and these obliging fish always seem to be feeding. Last month we offered discounts for people taking the places available by cancelations due to the flooding in the north. These places have now all been sold, as people realised the flooding was never going to affect Bangkok airport or the south of Thailand. The floods in the north and Bangkok are now receding rapidly, and life for those unfortunate people in the flooded areas is returning to normal. The floods were never a problem for people flying into Bangkok and travelling south, but once again the media created panic and many people were worried about coming to fish in Thailand.

Krabi newsletter October 2011

Hello to everyone following our fishing in Thailand newsletter. Another month has passed by before we know it and Christmas draws closer. Talking of Christmas, due to people unnecessarily worrying about the floods 800 kilometers away from us we have had numerous cancellations, which has left us with spaces for December and Christmas. As these places already had deposits paid we are offering 20% discount from the website prices, so if you fancy a last-minute break we suggest you contact us ASAP.
