Another teaser on Bangkok Barra before I make my trip next week!
Filed Under (General, Saltwater) by fishingh on 10-03-2008
A few friends had just made a trip up to the Bangkok Barramundi spot and reported good catches. We’ll be up there next weekend, but before I do that, I’ll share a few photos that my buddy Sean sent me on his last trip there just about a week ago.
So it seems that the Barra’s are definitely biting and in awesome shape as you can see from the picture below. The weather was a little cool and windy (see those ripples on the water) and could be a problem for the novice fly angler, so keeping one of those travel spinning or baitcasting rods I wrote about previously, handy will be great for those days when a fly rod may be a little to much to handle. Keep a lookout for my full trip report soon!
Here’s a picture of the mighty Abel in one of the most beautiful custom color (Peacock Bass replica) that subdued quite a few of those high leaping, silver plated fighting machines during the trip!
While you sure don’t need one of these beautiful reels and matching rods to fight those barramundi in an inland body of water with minimal obstacles, it sure feels good to know you have a reel that will purr like a cat when called upon to perform (much like driving a Ferrari or a Humvee on Bangkok’s congested streets)!
The picture below shows another 10kg barra landed recently on fly gear. The Barra seems to be in near perfect condition, a sign of the very healthy environment at the location. This is the result of controlled fishing, highly oxygenated water supply and good food supply!
Enjoy the pictures and come back for more in a couple of weeks time!

Hi, They’re many pay ponds especially for Barramudi fishing. Most barra fishing pond locate on east of BKK by road rage 30-50 km. Most fishing ponds have good locl style restaurant and accomadate ok. Some many ponds also locate west 30 km that allow anglers to fish barra in their Barramundi farm and with fee charge. These kind of farms look natural like fish farm and may less convenience as business pay ponds. Spinning or bait set 6-7 ft always popular with verieties of lures are working. Fly set also work resulted and classic. Booking hotel in mid town or slightly on east of BKK is best and convenience. Many good hotels on Rachada road ( mid / east of BKK )have reasonable charge and close to subway that easy for getting to downtown and closer to airport. If you prefer advise for fishing barra in Thailand please feel free to discussion.
