Jigging and popping fishing

Fishing in this area aren’t for the faint at heart. This style of fishing is more for the adrenaline junkie, the athlete of the sport fishing world. High-end fishing tackle and big game drags will push the angler to his or her physical limits. It is difficult to explain to anglers who have never partaken in this demanding type of sport fishing.

The feelings and thoughts that go through your mind, when you first getting that first strike, followed by a rod bent, line screaming, runs that push you around the boat. It’s a feeling you will never forget, and can make an angler totally addicted!!

Fishing season:

The Islands is located on the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. In a season there are not many days lost because of bad sea conditions. Khao Lak and Similan have two main seasons. The “dry season” is generally from mid-October – to around May. During this period, the winds are mostly from the north east and the sea conditions usually good. During the “rainy season´´, from June to October; the winds turn around and will mostly come from the southwest, which gives bad sea conditions on the west coast.
