The
Andaman Sea is a fish-rich portion of the Indo-Pacific
Ocean. Phuket is a magnificent island situated off the south
west of Thailand's Andaman Sea coast. The island has been a
popular tourist destination for many years and boasts an
enviable number of world-class hotels and resorts. The
wonderful hospitality and friendliness of the Thai people
plus their experience in catering to the needs of overseas
visitors makes Phuket a unique angling venue. Phuket offers
visiting anglers so much more than superb fishing. Premier
golf courses, fabulous sailing and some of the finest dive
sites in the world are just a few of the added attractions
to be experienced on Phuket.
As a Sailfish venue, on it's day, Phuket can compare with
anywhere in the world. Multiple hook-ups with these splendid
fish are very common and several boats have recorded catches
of ten or more Sailfish in a single day.
Sailfish can be caught year-round but the "hot"
times are generally November-March with another run during
the rainy season in July and August.
Tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, Barracuda and King Mackerel are caught
throughout the year. The Tuna are generally not giants with
Skipjack, school Yellowfin, respectable Dog-tooth, Longtail
and Kawa Kawa representing the most abundant species. The
hard-fighting Dorado are common with occasional individuals
reaching over 50lb. Huge catches of Wahoo have been recorded
with trophy-sized specimens nearing 100lb being taken in the
deep water over. the continental shelf. Barracudas range in
size from bait-stealing pests to near world records, Giant
Trevally are always value-for-money. Monster over 80lb have
been caught but there is fantastic action to be had by
casting poppers over a reef for mid-size specimens - not
recommended for the week-hearted.
During rainy season, the prevailing winds are from the south
west and sea conditions may be less than perfect. The sea is
rarely too rough to fish, we generally experience long,
smooth swells and shower rain with heavier rain at night.
