Samui has a big pond full of ENORMOUS fish but they use bait, the guide then hooks the fish, hands rod over to tourist... good place to get hot, sweaty and drunk but a bit dull for a real fisho.

There are trevally and silvery jack/moses perch looking fish in the reefs close to the resorts and no one else fishes there so you can have some fun. Anything big has been cooked up generations ago but the look of amazement from the locals when you catch something is worth it's weight in gold!!

Most of the life has been ripped from the coastline a long time ago, just keep your expectations low and you will be fine. If you are brave you can target the big things in the canals in Bangkok. The water is terrible but the big things are big and mean and no one else fishes for them.
