Tie a few rigs up tonight, the owners grandson that knows this pond well pointed me out the best areas to target, so if it all comes together I should get onto a few in the morning.

Having a shocker today, there's a 35-40km/h wind and it's put the fish right off. I've been at it for over 4 hours now and not a single bite.

It's supposed to settle down this arvo, so hopefully it comes good then.

Keep at it. All good things come to those who wait...

That was the hardest days fishing I've had at a fishing park. Besides the wind that didn't let up until 15:30 in the afternoon, I had a fishing guide that came with two German's.

He was putting out heaps of pellets and followed me around, he managed to hook and land 3. I didn't do so well, I hooked and absolute monster and lost it just as they were bringing the net over. I thought I was done but 5min after I landed a little blank saver.

Nit my best day, but I learnt a lot about fishing in the bad conditions and learnt a few tricks and spots that will greatly improve my odds on my next trip over next year.

I've never been so grateful to land a fish.

I was wondering if there were man Mekong giant catfish still living in the chaophraya River, but I'd forgotten about the temples, I knew they had fish there that people feed, but I thought they were the regular catfish.

But no, the Mekong giant catfish looks like it's still got quite a future.
