Fishing in Phuket｜Just need hands!!!

Depart from Chalong Bay at 8 AM! With the guidance of an experienced local fishing guide, we quickly found a school of fish! - First, we did bottom fishing for groupers, using Shimano electric reels provided on the boat. Once we got the hang of it, we started catching fish one after another. If the sonar showed no fish, we immediately reeled in and moved to a new spot! - After getting tired of grouper fishing, we started looking for floating objects and bird flocks. When we drifted near them, we began jigging. Deep-sea jigging was incredibly thrilling, and getting a bite from a tuna meant I had sashimi for the day. The local guide even made fresh tuna sashimi on the spot! It was so fresh!! - We encountered a 20+ kg GT (Giant Trevally) midway. The pull was so strong that I felt like I was being dragged into the sea. The guide patted me on the shoulder and said, 'Slowly, slowly,' but the line got tangled with floating debris and snapped. I was so frustrated! But luckily, I caught a wahoo later, which made up for the disappointment. - We were super lucky to spot a pod of dolphins while looking for fishing spots! At least 20-30 dolphins swam alongside the boat, and the adorable creatures even put on a little show for us. Later, a lady on the same boat caught a squid, which is perfect for sashimi! Haha, we had a feast that night. We returned to the port around 6:30 PM, and took the fish we caught to a nearby Chinese restaurant for processing. It was so delicious; fish you catch yourself always tastes better. 😋
