IT Monster lakes are situated in the Province of Ratchaburi surrounded by countryside where the Mao Klong river flows through its centre which is famous for its presence of large stingray and the Damnoen Saduk Floating Market.  The lakes are 1.5 hours’ drive East of Bangkok centre and a a similar distance from Jurassic Mountain Resort.

The venue is famous for its predator fishing, but the venue boasts two lakes nestled in the countryside surrounded by flat grassy banks and is steeped in history over the 12+ years it has been open. The setting is reminiscent of a European carp water with overhanging trees skimming the surface of the water and small areas of snags forming natural habitat.

The 10-acre carp lake is home to several species with Siamese carp (up to 80lb), rohu (20lb+), big head carp, catla-catla (25lb+) and Julian’s prized carp (up to 30lb+) being the most common. Also, there are smaller species present such as soldier river barb, black shark carp and java barb.

The 7-acre predator lake features several bays and reedbeds and the lake is home to some of the largest Thai and Amazonian species and is renowned for its Chao Phraya catfish which reach weights in excess of up 100lb+. Amazon redtail have been reported up to 75lb+ and a few arapaima in excess of 220lb. In addition to this, there are also several other species including alligator gar, tambaqui, pacu, Asian redtail catfish, tiger shovelnose catfish, along with some specimen giant snakehead.

CHAO PHRAYA FISHING THAILAND Of all the predatory species in this picturesque lake, the Chao Phraya catfish is the most desired fish of all to catch. This species is one of the hardest fighting fish native to Thailand pound for pound and is a renowned aggresive predator that engulfs large live and dead baits. Their speed and aggression is scary as they hit a bait and instantly start to strip line from the spool! IT Monsters Predator Lake - The mighty Chao Phraya catfish

AMAZON REDTAIL FISHING THAILAND

IT Predator lake is home to some of the largest Amazon redtails on offer here in Thailand and severel multiple bites during a day trip are to be expected. They can be targeted using a variety of different methods but slow moving lures and static deabaits are the most successful.

WEIRD & WONDERFUL FISHING THAILAND

The most appealing and justifiable reason for choosing to fish at IT Lake Monsters is the diversity of Amazonian and Thai predatory fish species. The use of natural baits such as worms legered on the bottom suspended just above the silt has proven to be a lethal method as they are easily found due to their vibration and strong amino smell. Being a natural bait means that they can produce some of the rarer more sought-after species meaning it is a lottery each time the alarm sounds.

BAITS & TECHNIQUES

When the lake first opened the fish were vey green in terms of their feeding habits and this resulted in lure fishing being a successful method producing equal results to bait fishing. However light but constant angling pressure has seen a significant decline in lure fishing success as the fish have wised up to the imitation baits. Lure fishing can and will still catch fish but is certainly second to bait fishing and as a result, our trips to this venue when focusing upon the predators entail only bait fishing both live and dead (unless you state otherwise), in order to gain the best results possible. Fish Thailand guides are continually trying and testing different rigs incorporating several terminal tackle components to produce and provide both fish friendly and highly successful set-ups for our customers to experience.
