Thread: Jimmys Fishing Park, east Pattaya

Pattaya park fishing and shooting club ,
Nice tidy well kept place . nobody fishing here but last time i was there the fishing was good, the water has that milky appearance due i would think, to much loose baits bread meals and ground bait. but on my list to give it a tryout. i will come back with results.

location : 3rd Road , 300 mtrs north of the Pattaya Klang intersection by the roadside, the water is on the small side, but it affords about ten good pegs this place is clean, inviting , cheap to fish (one price) cold beers, good food, attentive
helpful staff, excellent catches, a few geese and jungle fowl cocks walking around gives it a nice touch. well maintained clean toilets. good for the family day out.
a definate must ! i will endevour to find the name of the place , but the directions are accurate.........tight lines.

A group of about 15 of us had a great afternoon out at Jimmys about a month ago, first time i'd ever been fishing in my life, was the only person not to catch a fish in the early afternoon, but come about 5 o'clock it was like shooting fish in a barrel, cast your rod and was catching a fish every time.

More importantly though the beer is cheap.

I fish at Jimmy's every now and then.

Jimmy is your typical Brit atempting to do business in Pattaya and walking around pissed up by early afternoon.

Jimmy's fishing park is now called Pattaya Barra Fishing Park and is stocked with Barramundi and 8 other species of fish.

You do realise that normal people don't eat those sort of fish, your a funny lot you Aussies.

I attended school in southern Louisiana (Cajun country). I lodged with an elderly Cajun couple who occasionally cooked carp and invited me. They baked it in a cajun sauce and served it over rice. That was about 1967 and I still remember it as the best fish dish I had when I lived down there and I had most of the regional Cajun dishes during that two year period. My favorite seafood though was boiled crawfish which is available at the Bourbon St. Restaurant in Bkk but it's an expensive treat compared to what's available in southern Louisiana.

I've had it there, although it's actually a species of Australian yabby (Qld red claw) they use, farmed in Cambodia. You're right about carp though- it's perfectly decent eating really, but Aussie's turn their nose up at it because of all the small bones, and it's vermin status (they're basically hated over there, poor things). I believe you have a fast food chain in the states, Popeye's, that serves smoked carp. Shame no one has tried to do much with it in Oz, but with 'traditional' Aussie's there is a real stigma attached- I am sure more recent immigrants from Asia & eastern Europe have no such compunction about eating them. I've had carp myself, in southern China- but never in Australia, although I must have caught at least a hundredweight of them while fishing the Murray.
