FISHING OUT OF PATTAYA OCTOBER THROUGH MARCH
October through March are considered the best months
for deep sea fishing in the waters off Pattaya Bay. For that reason the
Fishing Section of The Pattaya Sports Club organizes and promotes two
fishing tournaments per month during this period. The first tournament
of the month is scheduled on a Sunday nearest the new moon. As a rule,
fishing is good just before and just after the new moon. The second
tournament is then scheduled about ten days later usually on a
Wednesday. This is because for some people Sunday is a good day to go
fishing and for others it is not.
Another reason more tournaments are scheduled during
this period is because normally during the summer months the local
waters get so hot the big game fish like the large Sailfish and the
large Marlin leave the area. They start to return in late September when
the monsoon rains begin and the water begins to cool off.
The best method to angle for these large game fish is
to place your bait near the surface of the sea using some type of float.
Many use a balloon, plastic water bottle, or a piece of Styrofoam to
float the bait. Most prefer to use live small red fish locally called
pla dang, but some prefer live squid. Occasionally some anglers will
troll using artificial lures, but this method of fishing is not so
popular here.
Within the past five years the largest Sailfish landed
in this area was about 55 Kilograms or 122 Pounds. This fish was taken
by Selwyn Lightly, fishing near Ko Pai, early in 1997. Many are brought
in each year from 20 to 35 Kilograms. Where as the largest Marlin landed
during the same period time was a Black Marlin weighing in at 60
Kilograms plus or more than 133 Pounds. This fish was taken by some
Japanese anglers, fishing near Ko Lin, this month. The Marlin are much
more scarce in this area than the Sailfish. Few Marlin are landed each
year.
Once one of these fighting fish is hooked, it takes a
skilled angler to land the fish. These fish will leap high in the air
trying to throw the hook from their hard bill. They will run away from
you at high speed and then turn and run directly at you at high speed
trying to throw slack in the line. They will always take you around the
boat several times before they can be landed. It is definitely a contest
between the angler and the fish as to who can last the longest. You must
let the fish run, you cannot force the fish in, you will surely loose
it. The fish cannot be landed until it has become too tired to fight any
more. It is almost 50 / 50 odds.
Contact the PSC and join our next tournament and show
everyone just how lucky, and just how good an angler you are.
