fishing vietnam

[no idea]

later on this year i am hoping to make my way over to vietnam with my dad (he working over there) and i was wondering if anyone knew anything about the fishing over there?

he said there is a fishing charter run by a couple of aussies but apart from that he doesnt know anything about the fishing so if anyone knows what kind of fishing i could look for or a good place to go (we will be travelling around alot) or anything. any info will be much apriciated.

cheers oli.

Not sure but Bass Flicker might have an idea of what to expect!

Yeah Ive poked around that area abit, though mainly in the rural areas and the fishing is crap due to the local people being VERY good at fishing the rivers clean with gill nets:noway: .

Youll probably be on the costal side??? If so when/if your in Hanoi head to somewhere like Haiphong find a small village on the outskirts and pay some locals to take you out. There should be some dudes around with rods. Remeber your money goes a LOOOONG way and the locals in small villages will do anything to get some.

They get baracooda I know that for sure and they probably get a few similar reef species to us like sweet lip and leatheries ect.

Hope this helps.

I was in the central part on the coast last year, Denang and Hoi An.
The river was heavily fished, and the markets showed locally caught fish, mainly small, some snapper or perch looking things, plus the odd barracuda and small spanish mackeral.
I got offered a trip over there and had no expectations. Loved the place and the people, food was awesome.
I'd give fishing a bit of a miss to be honest and enjoy everything else what Vietnam has to offer.
