Nick’s Exciting Day of Lure Fishing in Bangkok at Pilot 111 Ponds
If you’re hunting the ultimate lure fishing in Bangkok adventure, then take inspiration from Nick Bartley from the USA. Nick’s experience on the water proved just how exciting a day it can be, and it was unforgettable. So, while staying in the city, Nick booked a guided outing with Fish Thailand. A thrilling day was spent at Pilot 111 Ponds—an angler’s heaven just an hour from downtown Bangkok.
Chao Phraya Catfish “The Bangkok Powerhouse”
We collected Nick from his hotel in the early morning and drove him to the venue. There, multiple well-stocked ponds awaited Nick’s attention. He, a lure angler accustomed to casting and retrieving back home, delighted in fishing the same action-packed style here in Bangkok—but with a tropical twist.
Nick landed some truly exotic predators. First up was the mighty Chao Phraya Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). Anglers know this native powerhouse for its epic runs and brute strength — a true powerhouse.
Giant Snakehead Bangkok “Savage Lure Strikes”
Nick also hooked into several of the infamous Giant Snakehead (Channa micropeltes). This fierce predator is famed for savage strikes and incredible fights (learn more about Giant Snakehead). Those with more time can find the giant snakehead deep in the jungle at Khao Laem Dam. However Pilot 111 Ponds offer a convenient and equally exciting alternative for a one-day outing.
Barramundi Fishing “The Tailwalker”
To top it off, Nick also landed plenty of impressive Barramundi (Lates calcarifer), a non-native but highly sought-after sportfish. The most exciting moment for many anglers catching barramundi are the tail-walking displays. It is astonishing just how high these fish will leap out of the water in attempt to throw the hook!
Between casts, Nick took refreshment breaks at the comfortable, well-appointed on-site restaurant. After relaxing out from under from the Thailand sun it was time to head back out. By late afternoon, Nick was whisked back to his hotel in time for dinner. The memories of an epic fishing day that will likely remain the highlight of his Thailand holiday.
