Jurassic Catch Report

Catches & News From Thailand's Premier Fishing Resort



Before we role into catch reports and fishery news, let's start with this typical setting above as the Thai sun descends and puts close to another wonderful day at Jurassic Mountain Fishing Resort. Being met with this stunning view of Jurassic at the start of their Thailand fishing holiday, anglers are already melting with satisfaction and that's before they even wet a line. For so many anglers the setting is so very important and makes up a big part of their overall experience, it is easy to see why Jurassic is our most popular and well reviewed fishing in Thailand venue. Another massively important part of the perfect fishing holiday puzzle is the tackle provided to anglers. Imagine stepping amongst these stunning lake views and setting up in your swim with top of the range, beautifully clean and serviced tackle. The Solar P1 Worldwide Rod Pod is gleaning in the sun and the Delkim bite alarms starring at you in anticipation. At this point the fish are just the icing on the cake to most. In knowing this Jurassic have gone one step further than any other fishing venue in Thailand which leads onto the fishery news..... JURASSIC MONSTER TACKLE

This is not only breaking news for Jurassic but for the entire Thailand fishing scene. Thoughtfully designed and rigorously tested, Jurassic Monster Tackle fills the void of European / UK style carp fishing tackle concepts that can actually cope with the brutality of Thailand's gigantic freshwater fish species. The carp rigs are pre-tied to an effective length for hooking Siamese carp, the hair length is perfect for 2-3 big baits such as 25mm pellet. The hook itself is the critical break through, Jurassic developed one that is finally strong enough to not bend out on carp to 200lb while still retaining UK size 4. Previously it was easy to find a strong hook in huge saltwater sizes but not in traditional sizes 2 or 4. This also means more hook-ups from powerful but shy biting species, which are plentiful at Jurassic! For those anglers who book a trip with Fish Thailand to Jurassic for 3 or more days fishing, they will receive the above complete Jurassic Monster Tackle set and bag for free - a gift to take away. There are plenty of tackle items that can be used at home such as catapult, silicone tubing, tail rubbers, braid scissors, leads, swivels, beads and not to mention the 'leads & bits' bag itself.

100lb Carp at Last for Perry Fish Thailand's most regular angler to Jurassic is Perry Noakes, who has already caught no end of Thai fish species, including some monster carp to 185lb. This trip Perry banked yet another carp over 100lb which he puts down to a few simple changes to hook presentation and adding flavours (available at Jurassic's tackle shop) to give the edge. He worked the inside line with both rods at slightly different distances and depths to set up a series of takes landing several specimen Siamese carp.




Niger Ripsaw Catfish for Simon It doesn't get much more exotic fishing in Thailand than this for return angler Simon Parkyn who was pleasantly surprised to get a run from this Niger ripsaw catfish. The jagged knife hooks running along it's lateral line ensure this species is very carefully handled. Simon's carp fishing was in true Jurassic style with his first two days seeing him land two Siamese carp over 100lb which was part of a 24 fish haul! During his 9 day Jurassic fishing Thailand adventure Simon had lost two arapaima in a row, one being frustratingly close to the net. However his last day ended in glory as Simon finally banked a monster arapaima. All in all his fishing holiday was a huge success landing several fish over 100lb amongst several species.
