thailand report

With reports being slow lately I thought I would post some pics from my fishing trip in thailand earlier this summer. was working in china and heard of the good fishing there and got some time off and it turned out to be true. Caught about 30 longtail tuna ( which i had never heard of before this trip but they made pretty good sushi)and also caught a nice dolphin and a wahoo and missed a sail. Only had to go 7-8 miles offshore and trolled right along side islands. fished in 150-250 ft.

nice! those are some funky looking markings on the wahoo and mahi. waz up wit dat?

thats awesome how deep is it buy those cliffs

You cant brother fish from the same boat!!!

it drops off to 120-150 ft. right next to the islands we fished

All the way to thailand and you guys ended up fishing at the GTH! Those look more like blackfin tuna than longfin tuna that you have pictures of. From what I can dig up on google, looks like longfins have a different dorsal all together and are more slender. I’m probably wrong though.

it drops off to 120-150 ft. right next to the islands we fished

longtail not longfin

Sorry, typo. That’s what I meant. The long fin is the albacore. Very easy to identify. I still think that they are blackfins.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Nice going on the fish.

could care less about the type of fish. i just want to work where you work so that i could go to some of those beautiful places. it has been over 35 years since i was in thailand and s.e. asia. that is definitely some of the most beautiful country in the world.
congrats on the fishies also. great job.

Nice catch, Thailand is one of my favorite places I’ve been to. Hopefully you got to take in some of the nightlife after a long days work out on the water. (for ya’ll who have been ya’ll know the nightlife I am talking about) :smiley:
