If you want to see exactly how exciting a morning on the Andaman Sea can be, take a quick look at our video below to watch the action unfold at sunrise!
Why a Morning Fishing Tour is a Must-Do in Koh Yao Yai
Waking up at 6:00 AM might sound early for a vacation, but a morning Koh Yao Yai fishing trip offers a completely different vibe. The sea is calm, the air is fresh, and the sunrise views over the ocean are absolutely breathtaking. It is one of the most peaceful yet thrilling Koh Yao day trips you can experience.
Boarding from the Floating Pier
Furthermore, this early departure ensures we arrive at the prime fishing spots before the sun gets too hot. Our traditional boat is also fully equipped with safety gear. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic cruise safely.
Our adventure begins early in the morning. We pick up our guests and board a traditional boat right from the local floating pier. As we cruise out into the bay, the golden morning light starts to hit the water—it’s the perfect time to enjoy a nice breakfast right on the boat while watching local anchovy fishing boats (“Auan Ching Chang”) head out for their daily catch.
Hunting for the Best Fishing Spots (Local Fishing Game)
Fishing in the open sea requires patience and local knowledge. When the fish aren’t biting in the bay, our experienced captain knows exactly where to move to get the best results.
Catching Grouper and Trevally at the Buoy Spot
After shifting our location to a nearby marine buoy, the action officially started! We successfully reeled in some beautiful Grouper (Pla Kao) and Trevally (Pla Mong). We even hooked a unique local species with a slight sting—a true reminder of how diverse the marine life is around here!
Deep Water Fishing at the Cape
To challenge ourselves further, we moved to the deep water zone near the cape. The water here is incredibly deep, making it a hotspot for bigger fish. The move paid off instantly, with our guests reeling in a double catch—two fish on a single line at the exact same time!
