Fish Species in Phuket, Thailand

An example of fish species found trolling in
& around the coastal waters of Phuket.

Tuna: Tuna are the most abundant fish in Phuket waters. The Skipjack (pictured right) also know as the "Bonito" being the most common, although we also have the "Dogtooth", "Longtail" & the sushi favorite "Yellowfin".

Marlin: The "Black Marlin" is the king of our seas and have been landed weighing in excess of 200 kg. Our company works a catch and release policy for all "bill" fish. Unfortunately the large marlins often fight to the death and can take hours to land.

Sailfish: The "Sailfish" is another top fighting fish to be found in our local waters, more common than the marlin above, but still a great fish to catch on any trip.

Dorado: The "Dorado" is the fastest growing fish in the sea and one of the best to eat. Dorado and chips great or with parsley sauce brilliant, another good catch.

Cobia: The "Cobia" also know as the Crab Eater or Ling is a hard fighter and always another one for the camera. Often found around Whale Sharks or large rays it’s one to be proud of.

Barracuda: Keep your toes well out of the way when you land our pal the "Barracuda" not a great fighter but once on board needs to be treated with respect.

Longtom: The Longtom or Crocodile fish is another razor toothed predator to be found in shallow waters around Phuket's many islands.

Rainbow Runner: The "Rainbow Runner" is a beautiful well named fish and quite good eating. Like the Dorado it is often found around flotsom.

Queenfish: The "Queenfish" or Queenie is my personal favorite eating fish, but watch out when landing one the dorsal spikes are very painful, so handle from below.

Giant Trevally: The "Giant Trevally" or GT is a serious fighter and needs to be kept away from the bottom where it will look for snags and obstructions.

Wahoo: The "Wahoo" is another razor toothed beastie which when caught can run at amazing speeds on the surface, a good sized one is a joy to land.

King Mackerel: The "King Mackerel" or Spanish Mackerel is always worth hooking into and is a pretty fair fighter.
