On day three of our fishing vacation in Thailand we visited Bungsamran Lake. This place is likely the most well known fishing lake in Thailand, all the videos you see on YouTube and most of the pictures you've seen on the internet of a Mekong catfish on a dock are at this place. If you read my story of Palm Tree Lagoon I wrote you will know we needed a good day fishing after that experience the day before and man did we ever get one. The giant Mekong catfish can grow up to several hundred …
Adventures
Palm Tree Lagoon, Ratchaburi, Thailand
When I was booking the trip and doing the research for Thailand I was impressed with Palm Tree Lagoon, I knew it was small but we've all fished farm ponds before, except this one had 300 pound fish in it so I thought I could come to terms with fishing two acres.

Thailand

It's hard to know where to start so I will just start with getting there, from DFW it's gonna cost you between $900-$1100. I personally didn't think that was a bad price and I'm pretty tight with money. The flight …
Catching Stocked Rainbow Trout
Each winter starting in November Texas Parks and Wildlife Department begins stocking rainbow trout in about 100 locations from five different hatcheries around the state. They stock upwards of 300,000 fish that are ready to eat into ponds and streams mostly located in cities. The program is funded by anglers who purchase freshwater trout stamps and fishing license. This is the only chance for a lot of Texas anglers to ever catch a rainbow trout. These fish are fairly easy to catch and are …
