The HIGHS & LOWS of Fishing for Freshwater GIANTS..! Jurassic Mountain Resort - Thailand..!

Join me to see my first visit to Jurassic Mountain Resort in Thailand to fish their specimen lake. There will also be a 2nd video looking at the Species lake.
The session has some great highs with first time captures of Siamese Carp and Amazon Red Tails - However is tempered by the loss of a BIG fish at the end of the 2nd day.
Jurassic Mountain Resort is impeccably kept and very well run - I'd highly recommend anyone to visit - The fish are incredibly well looked after with a tight set of rules and procedures for all anglers to follow for the welfare of the stock.
The fisheries team, gillies and all of the bar/restaurant/housekeeping staff are all superb - I'll be back again for a follow-up visit soon.
Hope you enjoy the video.

Mate, watching that Arapaima scrap took me back! You had me reliving hookpulls in swims 16 and 2 so I know how you feel... gutted but elated and you're right - that's fishing! That's the buzz. Tom and Ollie are legends it's an awesome place!

[@RobsAngling]

Indeed they’re both legends - I’m going back next year for another dart.. Can’t wait to be battling another Arapaima again 👌👍🎣

What a video i bet you loved e every minute of that apart from letting the fish go before his photo 😂 well done 👏 what a place

[@RobsAngling]

Mega place - Can’t wait for the revisit and for longer next time 👌👍

Enjoy - It’s an amazing place.. Fishing paradise 💯🎣

@@RobsAngling do I need to bring rod pods and alarms with me

[@RobsAngling]

@@Madgitty2 No - rods/alarms and terminal tackle are all onsite. Take a selection of your own terminal tackle/pva bags if you want but it’s not 100% necessary. You can get all you need there. 👍

Thanks Matt 🙏👍

@RobsAngling I've had some cracking Barbel out at Monkmoor over that last few weeks. 4 doubles in 2 weeks. Seem to have found the perfect spot for them.

[@lewishopson6763]

Your video has got me very excited for my trip to Jurassic next month mate great stuff, watched it over 5 times 😆!! Can i ask a few of questions please? 1) Is there anything you didn't take with you which you wish you had done, certain handy terminal tackle etc? 2) Did you make up your own rigs up or were they pre made from Jurassic, if you did what hooks/ 60lb hook link did you use or was it just any 60lb braid? 3) I saw you had used your Vortex baits did you take these in your checked luggage with no issues? Thanks for you help mate and again great video!

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Lewis, I’ve rebooked for next year and counting down the days already! I used a lot of PVA bags, take plenty of XL size as you need to double bag everything due to the water temps.. Also take back leads as they’re an edge - Most people don’t use them. I used the house rigs - They’re decent and are tried/tested.. If you want to make your own, it’s probably worth messaging them in advance to agree the terminal tackle you’ll be using is acceptable to them. The hookbaits I took with me went into my checked luggage - Nobody asked any questions at either airport about these. Have a great time 👍🎣

[@sahidibahar4196]

Great video. I went Jurassic in February 2023 done two days fishing. Not easy I found you get more runs as the sunsets. Looking forward to returning hopefully one day!

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks - Glad you enjoyed it. The lake does indeed come alive late in the day.. I’m looking forward to a repeat visit also 🙏🎣

[@sahidibahar4196]

It’s a shame they don’t allow night fishing 😢

[@marshallart113]

Wtf m8? That ent the flooded avon 🤣🤣 I was thinking the highs n lows na dont loose it... gutted for you 😢 Awesome vid rob trip of a life time

[@RobsAngling]

The only problem now is I need another trip of a lifetime 🤣🤣🤣

[@philmurphy6273]

So unlucky not to land the big one I can imagine the utter pain you felt when you lost it 😢 thanks for sharing the video and I’ve got no doubt that you will go back and nail one next time absolutely gutted for you!!!

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Phil.. I still think about that Arapaima now 🤯🤯🤣 - I’ll definitely be back for another visit soon.. Epic venue 💚🎣

[@brianwoodcock2147]

Great video love this place feel your pain lost 1 at the net and 3 to hook pulls but did land 180lb in the end can't wait to return in March

[@RobsAngling]

Well done Brian - I’ll be back for retribution myself very soon. 🤣👍🎣

[@gavinburt3750]

Gutted for you losing that Ara !!! I was there in November of 2022 and loved it to bits. I’m a river angler so bite alarms and carp rods were alien to me but Tom, Ollie and George made you feel so comfortable. I did three days fishing, it was tough going as they had heavy rain in recent weeks but still managed some big Siamese, Tambaqui and a beautiful Red Tail (target fish) about an hour before I was due to leave. The place is immaculate with fantastic food and the customer service from resort staff is second to none. I’m hoping to get another trip in November this year if they have availability.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Gavin… I’m also keen to get back in the next 12 months. It’ll definitely be for longer next time 👍🎣

[@gavinburt3750]

@@RobsAngling it really is a magical place. Out of interest what month / dates did you go in please and how was the weather ? We can only fit in mid-October and conscious of the rain.

[@RobsAngling]

@@gavinburt3750 It was early November so a similar time of the year. It hammered it down with rain for an hour one afternoon, otherwise it was dry and blazing sun 👍

Great video Rob. I'm heading to Jurassic myself next week. I've never really done any carp fishing before besides feeder fishing. Do you think I might struggle?

[@RobsAngling]

Sorry for the slow reply - The gillies will show you everything you need so you’ll be fine. Enjoy it - Jurassic is a mega venue👍🎣🤩

nice if there was info on how you got there and who to arrange the dayvtrip fishing…im in may

Hey mate! Great video! You have no idea how much i feel this pain. Lost my arapaima at the same lake😅. You still traveling thailand?

[@RobsAngling]

I need to go back and fix that very soon myself! I’m not in Thailand now but do have another video to come in the next 1-2 weeks from the Jurassic Species Lake 👍🎣

OC reels not very good are they ...THOUGHTS

[@clivebloxy]

Great video. going on 22nd January 24 and can not wait. Do you suggest taking anything extra tackle wise?? or any other recommendations??

[@RobsAngling]

Cheers Clive.. I used a fair bit of PVA so well worth taking plenty of bags and string. All tackle and rigs are onsite that you need so no need to take a tackle box full etc.. Don’t wind in early is the other key advise - The last 30 mins of the day are mad..! It’s an epic place - Enjoy 👍🎣
