Giant Freshwater Stingray, Maeklong River, Samut Songkran, 20 June 08

Had an awesome trip with Boy...managed to put my ATD12 and Sevenseas Northern Mariana to good use...4 takes and landed 2 Rays, the bigger one about 80kg

Beautiful place...fishing from the boat at all times...nice cheap seafood makan at the river and firefly spotting at night

The Maeklong river is teaming with life! Huge number of freshwater prawn fisherman making a living here. What amazed me as well is how clean the Maeklong is!

As usual, top notch service from Boy

Next target 200kg+ GFS from Ban Pakong

Miscellaneous pics from the GFS hunt

Immense effort is required to fish for these monsters...the floating water plants need to cleared from the bait lines and the mother boat...with the help of a smaller "Dory"

Check out the fighting chair too!

That's a good one man show, hope you had fun. Was having a chat with Mr Boy just now and he told me about going for the stingray during december which is supposedly their mating period.

Had a great time Belial
Maybe I can tag along if you are headed up in December...hee hee

Guess the bigger specimens are at Ban Pakong but fishing at the Maeklong is more enjoyable I think...you still going up over the National Day weekend?

Really impressed with the teamwork and strategy...the team can put you on some very good fish and have all the SOPs worked out...these guys are of international standard for sure...quite unlike some of the operators in our region!

cheers

After missing 2 National Days, I'm going to show my patriotism this year by staying in Singapore. December might be a possible date as I still haven't breach the 200kg target yet and I want to achieve it hopefully by this year.

Just got news that a German angler landed a 120kg specimen on an Accurate Platinum Twin Drag ATD12 at the Maeklong this morning ...fought another for bigger one for over 2 hours but leader break
