Fishing, travel and the great outdoors... here you’ll find stories about my experiences fishing for different species in all kinds of locations, both here in the UK and in other parts of the world.
Hey Andy! Thanks for the wonderful video! i landed here cause im traveling to thailand in november and im visiting the Khao Sok National Park. Did you booked a guiding or know if there is a way to book a guiding for this area? Sadly i have no fishing equipment with me, so i am dependent on an guidance.
@andyhartfishing9 күн бұрын
Hi, thanks for the kind words. Yes I booked a guide, it was a Thai outfit called Chiew Larn Fishing on Facebook, I'm not sure if they are still operating as that was a few years ago, you could give Neil at Fishing Khaolak Fishing a try, he's a great guide I'd recommend, contact him at [email protected]. It's an epic venue I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Hi Andy .. came across your video .. need some advice please…I am due fishing in Thailand next year for a few species including arapaima Which hooks would you advise me to get please ? I bought 4/0 & 6/0 Mustad Circle hooks. Thanks
@andyhartfishing2 ай бұрын
Hi John. Yeah those will probably be fine, actually all of the resort venues that stock arapaima supply all the tackle and bait anyway so there's usually no need to bring anything. Some even insist you use their tackle, or at least will need to approve what you bring, so I wouldn't worry too much about terminal tackle. They'll know what works best for their species. If you know what venues you'll be fishing you could just ask them directly. Cheers for watching, I'm sure you'll have an awesome trip out there next year. Give me a shout if you have any other questions.

You can catch them any time of the year really but I hear the best time is after they've spawned and they are protecting their young, you can see red balls of the fry near the surface and cast into those. Worth asking a guide about that if you want to go, I'm not really sure but some people say end of the rainy season is a good time. Thanks for watching!

@@andyhartfishing Thank you!!
Did you need to have your own equipment? sick fish btw :)
Thanks Matous, No all of the equipment was supplied, didn't have to take any tackle. Get in touch with Neil of Fishing KhaoLak company if you want to give it a go, it's a great day's sport, highly recommended!
👍👍👍
Thanks Nadeem!
Great place to fish but the rest of the canal is full of poxy unlicensed paddle boarders who don't pay like me to use the canal for fishing..I was there today and had a load of the C's go straight past me without even an apology.
Ye summer weekends there are busy, can be a headache for sure... hope you caught a few though
@@andyhartfishing No fished the Hoe Mill side.Saw huge Bream rolling and I mean huge!!!!Lovely place to fish though.
@@TheEssexSpurs ye it's a really nice spot. Huge bream you say, good to know!
@@andyhartfishing My best there is 9lb but have seen verified 13.5lb fish.. Years ago either fish would've been in the Angling Times
Had some great tench out of Doggets over the years. Bread flake works well especially in the later months of summer. Gerry, (Using my partner Joan’s account).
Yeah it's a nice little lake, i haven't managed to get back over there this year yet.. we had most of our fish on corn but I think we did have one or two on bread, I'll keep that in mind
Didn’t know you did videos Andy! 👍
Yeah, started a few years back, first one was at gillhams funny enough...! cheers for watching Lawrence, good to see you've been getting out and catching a few...
nice one, nice to see venues close to me, subscribed
Many thanks, yes some good sport to be had on the float at Chigborough, some nice bream in there as well
wow big,like
river monsters! thanks for watching!
Definitely the best video on a tackle shop I've seen. I used to like Danny's from his shop in Norwich but the picture quality on this one tops it. 👍🏼🙏🏼🍾🍾🍾🍾
Many thanks for that, much appreciated!
You're not related to John are you, Andy?
No, not that I know of! Or Tony, for that matter... showing my age now
Love Tench fishing at Doggetts. Used to get the odd bonus big Crucian. Not sure if you still do, in fact I only remembered I did when I was typing this comment!
Yes we had some great tench sport there, but we never saw any crucians, more's the pity, that wouldve been a nice touch
nice work man
many thanks mate
An example of a very nice video. Truly a masterpiece.
Many thanks!
Nice video Andy
thanks Dan!
Nice fishing
Many thanks!
Wow that last one was a monster
Fish of a lifetime! Incredible place, that Fraser River...
It rains properly there doesn’t it!, say hello to the lads from me
It sure does, get some full on tropical thunderstorms... fish seem to like it though!
@@andyhartfishing definitely do, my best trip was rainy season, the big carp seem very happy to feed 👍
Ye when they switch on the action comes thick and fast, they were crawling up the rods on that trip, nightmare casting PVA bags out though in all that rain..!
Its nice to find a secluded lake with out loads of other anglers on their phones and making a lot of noise.
Absolutely, a proper bit of peace and quiet is golden
