Fishing Parks info?

[jte 1]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone give me some info about the fishing parks around the Pattaya/Jomtien area. I have not been to any of them but have read about the "Jomtien fishing park", the "Panarak Park" and the "Soi 3 Fishing Park", On the web (and a nice intro to the "Jomtien fishing park" by Leadbelly, on the board). We all know that sometimes things look better on web-sites than in real life so.... If anyone has any real life experience that they wouldn't mind sharing I would welcome it. I will be in Pattaya next week and would like to try out one or more of these places.

Thanks

Jim

I have recently been to both Pattaya and Jomtiem.

 

Pattaya - on 3rd rd easy to get to reasonable set up. Went with 4 girls who ate and drank for about 3 hrs whilst I was there. My fishing rod was the only one left and the reel was next to useless.

 

I caught 2 small red fish (about 1 kilo) which one of the girls took home to eat. There were catfish being caught but not loads.

 

Total cost approx 1100 baht ,rod, bait, food for 4, beer coke etc and fish- great place to relax and keep the girls happy only missing a tv.

 

Jomtiem - soi 14, so a long way down the beach. Soi 14 was being resurfaced so had to go down the next road and take a turning down there - no signs so it looks like the middle of nowhere to start but it is there.

 

You get someone to stay with you here and don't need to do anything other than reel the fish in.

 

The fish are catfish of some description range from 4-15 kilos. I landed 5 to about 8 kilo and they fight hard, i lost another 5 or 6 due to broken hooks/ snapped line. there were loads being caught.

 

More fish here than pattaya, food and beer available total cost was about 700 baht plus tip for helper but i went on my own.

 

Keep an eye cos I may start an album with some photos of Jomtiem

 

Hope that helps

Thanks for your reply. I was already in Pattaya when you posted it and did not check the board until I got back. I posted a short trip report about the Jomtin fishing park on the members board. I hope you will add some pics to it.

Thanks again

Jim
