More about fishing in Phuket
If you want to try something new during your visit to Phuket, sport fishing is a popular choice. The Andaman Sea has many kinds of fish, such as tuna, dorado, sailfish, marlin, queenfish and rainbow runners. You can try different techniques, from trolling with bait to using nets. There is no single best time for fishing, but wahoo are found from June to October, while sailfish and black marlin are found more often from September to December. The sea can be rough during the May to October monsoon, so check the conditions and go with a licensed operator. You can book a day trip or a multi-day excursion, often with a small group of friends, and some trips also visit the nearby Racha islands.
