Krabi newsletter February 2009

Hello again, and thank you all for a result of this series of fishing in Thailand. As I write this newsletter I'm in the UK shows that assist fisheries meeting with old friends, getting drunk and freezing my nuts off, while in Thailand, the heat wave continues. I'm sitting here with the man flu, feeling sorry for myself, and counting the days til 'I can return to paradise. In Krabi temperatures are at their highest level ever recorded. The stream passing the lake is really dry for the first time in memory - nobody in our village has ever seen this current dry as southern Thailand in February increasingly experiences Hot registered. The forest around us has changed since its usual green to brown. Fortunately we have seven natural springs that feed the lake, and while running very slow they are helping to curb the lake dropping to a record low. We are pumping water into the lake of our good and a source of the side, but with all my staff watering the garden of seven acres of gardens every day we're fighting a losing battle. Even George the turtle is struggling, can not be bothered to walk from the shadows at the top of the hill towards the lake, so the other day we took a little water to it, and it really took 3? liters of water without stopping, as Sean with his beer Singha! Speaking of George has been racing to run a fishing guide John. It's not a fair contest though, as George wins every time! Sean, Kevin and have taken advantage Gollock of a slowdown in customers build a barrier of rock on the side of the lake cabin to stop erosion, and gardeners have to fill with stones and plant some vines, so that they will grow hidden rocks. In fact, plants grow faster than the old John walks!

It is strange as they are curious Arapaima fish. Every day the guys are working on the stones the arapaima hang motionless behind them watching the proceedings. Helmet of our dog thinks all this is put in just for your entertainment, so throws herself on the arapaima, the water explodes and come back for more like a game. If you wanted probably could kill with one blow of his head. The Arapaima has been slow in feeding this month, hate the heat, but every time a bit wind and the clouds came over brief rain shower or a spell there was a short supply. The red-tailed catfish have also been slow this month due to shed their skin to make way for new growth. I wish I could do what I continue to grow, but I have to buy fur again! As the heat continues life Bird is appearing as all waters surrounding dry. It seems we have an abundance of waterfowl fishing here, double the amount of the Cave of Swallows come to drink, and some days the air is black with them. These are birds that make their nests with saliva, making the bird's nest soup famous, the next time you is getting into his spittoon soup, keep in mind that was achieved through Gillhams and all that crap fish! Discussing these swallows our Chao Phraya catfish to have Sussed out an easy food source, lurking just below the surface, the coating of a swallow coming then bang, an explosion of water is no more Mr. Swallow! I've been thinking about tying some drinks imitation - imagine the casting in the Chao Phraya, now that would be exciting!

We have also increased hummingbirds visiting our flowers, which are multiplying due to continuous irrigation of the gardener. Our pool of higher values, which supports the forest, is being visited by all kinds of four-legged creatures, the more strange that he seeks an armadillo who slipped into the darkness fell. All this activity, along with the Rolling fish, you lose by some people sitting in deck swimming sunscreen get a tan while you go through the task of waiting for a huge fish to raise. They do not know the depth of the lake in front of them, or anywhere else come to that. Only blind casting then put your headphones while reading his latest Beano Annual awaiting his due reward for 300 pounds hook. Why are some individuals fly 7000 miles, WONGA hard earned pay to get here and not even walk around the lake, or watch for signs of fish, and even looking at the wildlife - they are content to just plunk your butt on the swim closer to his bungalow, and then complain about the fishing is slow, despite never change the position of bait or fishing. These same guys then proceed to whine like they say there is no sign of fish, when the prize of the head of their phone and launch the comic in the garden, we show the fish stock points and a flat fish, which just rolled on the surface, the flat surface is beyond comprehension, as if throwing the wrapper of frozen water that produces the same effect! But when shown a monster with two meters of the running, or a huge head and shoulders carp out of the water say they have begun to show. The same type bristles with excitement when you say to watch the osprey circling Lake, which produces the enthusiastic response of "Oh, are special, then?" At this point, usually grass outside my office to see the fish rolling against the Prats, while returning to his comic books. These same types are displayed large head of carp and shoulder and crashing out at the opposite end of the lake where new wind blowing in the bank, but when asked, "Why do not you move in fish, the answer is:" I'm waiting for them to move me " - Oh, God, help us! Even when they are in the right place by chance, with the wind coming to them, you can display the color change as waves wash margins and create a feeding area within three meters from the shore, but the answer is "Yes I see, but fattened up there, and do not want give them up when they come to me! "

At the end of the trip yet been achieved by chance a couple of 100 pounds of fish, probably ten or more fish around 30 to 60 pounds, and as is often the case, an undeserved 200 pounds beauty, only to complain that they were disappointed with the slow fishing, and the guy was lucky that kept moving, recasting and checking the contours of the lake with rod plumbing - the kind that really fluke three times more fish than they did! The difference is more annoying this poor devil does not get a well deserved fish over 200 pounds. The end result - the rebooks fisherman, and the nerd never again - Well! Why Some people do not listen to our guides, who are here 24 / 7 days of handling big fish in one day. We have our own fish farm and spend days and months studying them, so why not listen? We had a guy come this month, whose total time was spent trying to prove us wrong. When said to swim in front of their bungalow not to produce in the heat wave conditions, spent the next three days of fishing there, but well, there was one, so I guess that was one to zero in size from a pea brain! He had caught one another Lake Arapaima in Thailand before, which made him an expert on them, and after two days to hear what he says he had it all wrong about them, I avoided him, and Kevin and Sean did not try to talk to him. John did not care, because you never Prat to fish a lot, so that John could not sleep for him all day and just nod in agreement with him. The last straw for me was when that fishery experts, seeing me walking around the lake, with the hull of the dog, decided to try and wind me up. When told that she had had bad news and wanted to be alone, chose to tell me that the fish were not eating, because the lake was very hot because only 1? meters deep. The shallowest part of our lake is three meters - we know because we liked. If the donut had bothered to check the depth we had discovered this before. Better yet, why not put lead boots and walk on lake to test his theory! The same guy was upset that he could not use barbed hooks or bring your own fish bait in the lake. When asked if he had read the rules, his comment was that he thought were wrong - Then why did you come? I also wanted kilos of groundbait with dead fish he would buy at the supermarket. I said that in Thailand, some unscrupulous fishermen using formaldehyde instead of ice in their catch, to kill our fish - only buy fish out of a lady who owns 20 fishing boats all go to sea with ice on board. I also told him that as the fish did not feed very well that the loads of bait made by him and other fishermen that fish stop feeding stuff and a few being caught. His reply: "Well, do not let the others do, just me, "was enough for me. I spent the rest of his vacation to join others to prevent him and praying for the white or, better yet drown! We had a lovely tranquil Norwegian fishermen who had the misfortune to be fishing with him, and he summed up the man with the Word - cock! 'Nuf said and in fisheries.

16 fishermen who came for fishing holidays in Thailand, and 17 came on day trips. Among them, 460 fish of 20 species caught, comprising as follows ... Arapaima 32 to 360 pounds, eight alligator gar to 25 pounds, 41 red-tailed Amazon catfish of 60 pounds, two arawana to 7 pounds, one of Asia's red tail catfish 20 pounds, 11 to 30 pounds black pacu, a bighead carp of 20 pounds, six Chao Phraya catfish to 60 pounds, a giant pen later than 18 pounds, 14 pounds giant gourami, a line 120 pound giant, seven of Julian carp of 30 pounds of gold prize, nine of the Mekong catfish and 160 pounds, two Migula to 15 pounds, seven Labeo to 15 pounds, six pens saw again to £ 10, 302 to 110 pounds Siamese carp, seven to the striped snakehead 5 pounds, 11 to 35 pounds Sorubim seen, four catfish tiger shovel nose at 20 pounds.

The first reviews fishing holiday in Thailand was Ian Roberts, who scored 22 of the five species of fish in their five day stay. Arapaima achieved the goal, in addition a nice pair of Chao Phraya catfish. Then Bob Armstrong and Dave Cook arrived, who have bought their wives with them and Sue Carol. The girls were pleasantly surprised by the facilities Gillhams and the surrounding area as it was a change in vacation French carp fishing in the past, swapping a bivouac in a bungalow with air conditioning, mud and Garden tropical gardens, pools of water for a swimming pool and a kitchen of a top class restaurant. Sorry guys - France trips are things of the past - is from Thailand now! Among them landed 90 fish of five species in his two-week stay installed between tourism, commercial and cold around the pool, get both Arapaima his goal, Dave landing five to 230 pounds, while Bob landed three at 200 pounds. Both had a rare catfish tiger shovel nose, along with a lot of Siamese carp up to 60 pounds, which fell to the bars of Bob.

Another customer-in Fella returned Alistair, who started the talk was telling John the fishing guide seemed Christie uncle of 10, fame Rillington Place. The whole week was the saying, "It was not me, Christie made" in a fine Welsh accent like Christie's tenant Evans! Alistair number of fish sacrificed in the hope of a Whacker, sitting outside in the mouth of the bay, hidden behind a cane, waiting to ambush their target large Arapaima, and the boy had to achieve the objective, with a fine of 360 pounds of fish, which was actually a fish, resulting in early year was hitting 400 pounds, but that has annoyed when that size? Yet finished with ten fish a week, including their target species, with two Arapaima. Then came the only "talk before the brain is in progress Peter 'in Spain. Peter suffered brought his wife and the husband and wife-nearest neighbors fishing, we all loved the tranquility and beauty of Gillhams. We desperately wanted an Arapaima, but wherever you fish, once moved from swimming, went off! Even on the day of his departure, an hour after the vacancy left by swimming a couple of Arapaima! Had 19 of five species of fish for his six-day trip, ending in a Mekong catfish 160 pound fine. Poor old Peter Whinging Gillhams thought was expensive, because it was outside, in his words "the large Thai fishing only ten pounds a day. "We learned when he arrived at the pool, provided with small fish, who checked out and, obviously, he account of the difference between heaven and hell prices. One thing is certain in this world you get what you pay for - see you next year, Pete? Our new expatriate Warren regulate Hua Hin, six hours north of us, he spent two days at the beginning of the month, having 28 fish in two days of four fish species with 22 in its second day. He returned for a four-day trip to fish Siamese carp, which are his favorite fish. Now Warren pond fish from his home in Hua Hin that went to Peter after of us, so that the alarm should have sounded for Peter when he learned that Warren us good fishing trips. Warren thrown salt into the wound, one of the 160 pounds Peter first fish Arapaima bathroom. The four days were not so kind to him in the numbers like last time, but with 16 fish during this visit, he had his Siamese carp Favorite to 50 pounds in Gillhams boilies special, but very annoying Peter when he said he would have exchanged arapaima Mekong catfish. No matter - thing about living here is Warren boys can return whenever they want, and is already booked for another four days in March to try for its largest Mekong is rising after 50 pounds Carp PB.

Many fishermen also mention them all, sorry for the kids - I know some of you like to see what they write about you, but at least if you do not do all it can have on the piss! But I just fail to mention the silver fox with Jim Dave and Mark who came for a week. Dave and Mark started a little shaky, and we would be a problem, but everything settled well after they clashed with the lake and accepted it as is the lake, where dreams come true with large fish, but do not come easy. Gillhams numbers is not water, is the location of an expert fisherman. We always tell everyone who comes here is a plate of fish, but for the big fish in the beautiful environment is the best location on the planet - our lake is not easy but not difficult. Now David said silver with his arapaima, a puppy 70 pounds, but fishing for carp Siam exceeded his dreams when he landed 21 in a pair in 50, and 60 pounds topped by a breathtaking never before of fish caught 110 pounds dark. Mark got a good pair of swimming Arapaima Spanish Pedro left at 160 and 170 pounds, along with 18 other fish from four species. The third man in the group, Jim, Gillhams enjoyed making it from scratch. Arapaima reached its goal on its first day, one of the babies home grown 50 pounds, indicating that the fish had made their holiday. He followed with a show of dedication to the cause after the partying out of my birthday. It took a group of 20 to the local Curry House, ordering the larva of 9 pm 24 hours in advance, and bless those Indians who managed to serve everyone at 11 pm, leaving short holiday time. Most of us returned to the fold 2am, but Sean and Jim went for it big style and came home reeling in the crack of 8.30. Jim had a fry of large, then went and drove out in a quiet area of the lake, where he proceeded to mislead the Arapaima in a false sense of security by pretending to be asleep. This feat of fishing was rewarded with a fine Arapaima 250 pounds, after Jim retired and went to sleep on its laurels for the day! Sean on the other hand slipped between the trees to find George, and then slept behind the palm trees for the day, thinking they would not notice! Before leaving, Jim secured a six weeks trip at Christmas - Top Man Jimbo!

Another thing I should mention is "going to give one? 100 points of Arapaima" Neil. There was something else he said He would, but I can not mention that in a bulletin read by normal people, so all I'll say about it is I'm glad that is not fulfilling its promises! Neil was for one day, after a week, and even went for two days this month before returning home. It has reserved another trip, so I will not give much stick. For an ugly guy who was a very nice couple, Kim, who resigned his beach vacation and visit romantic places to hear Neil talking Arapaima in the hook. He finished with four Arapaima to 150 pounds, plus some other fish of Nice including one of the most wanted prize Julian gold carp of 25 pounds. Phuket Ross made a return trip two days and wanted Arapaima caught her at 120 pounds. Siam Fishing Tours customer Martin Fisher took the prize for the fastest when arapaima arrived, and its distribution in the first place, three minutes, he managed an impressive 220 pounds Arapaima, and ended his trip with another 190 pounds. Unlucky fisherman must go to Alan, another expatriate from Pattaya, which was shut for four days and the fish at the same time came around. Do not put off, said he would not leave until that he got his Arapaima. Not because of other than bad luck, there were several Arapaima throw the hook, but in its sixth day the dream came true for him Arapaima with 150 pounds, which still remained after four days, taking 27 fish in the last days of six species, so everything was fine in the end. Top rod day ticket must go to Andrew from Sweden, who came by one day, but fish for three days, taking two Mekong catfish to 110 pounds, plus a second £ 100 species, an Arapaima, just scraping a ton! Now that is a sign of quality in here when we scraper hundred pounds! Andrew also had some small red-tailed catfish and carp Siamese during your day trips, and is another satisfied customer, planning their return trip.
