Toman Season !!! Toman Fry !! - Part 1 By BKKGUY

The  toman season has just began......and I'm getting all ready to hit at those wild mama toman whenever and wherever. Wild toman fishing in Thailand is a BIG GAME SPORT here. Not for any aveg angler. You need to be fast, accurate and eyes must be sharp....

With the right  tackle and lures  then can ensure your sucessfully landing of the mama  toman.

Any  boatman can bring you to the fry but how you get the mama to whack your lure, that's something the angler has to figure out himself. Btw, not every toman fry is easy target.

I love the challange of chasing the toman fry for 1-2hrs. It's like a mind playing game of man vs the fish. Better than anything in the world.. haha !!!


Of all the toman fry, those frys which are reddish color & the size of the small tadpole, are the most difficult to target of all.


Just when you think you can agitate the mama toman by distrubing the baby fry, you'll be in for a big surprise. After you've casted 4-5 castings, you will eventually see the small tiny red pool of toman fry gather in 1 small group. The mama toman will then appear from beneath & took her baby fry into her mouth and dive under the water.


Instead of getting the mama toman to be angry, the angler will get frustrated first... haha !!!


I have 1 miss on the  mama toman and another hooked up but loss the fish during netting.... Damn.... I'm going to return for my revenge trip soon...

This round, will wait for the fry to grow the size of the cig butt size. That's when the mama toman can't take the frys into its mouth. Any intruders or lures within the 1m radius of the fry, will be attacked by the mama toman for sure.

Wait for my revenge trip in the next episode of 'Chasing the Toman Fry' Part 2. ;)

As entertaining as always คนตกปลาครั้ง (I don't know if that translates correctly). the colour of the Fry when they ball up is awesome. Best of luck next time hopefully she's a big one.

 

Cheers, Daisy

Spotted the toman fry from afar.. :)
Reddish red.... There are thousands of baby toman in 1 school of fry. The big mama is always swimming near the vincity, guarding the fry.






Time for some actions...

I've chased the fry for almost 1 hrs ++.... with patience you will win the game. Mama toman very smart in Thailand.

At time, the mama toman can bring the baby fry to hid near the tree branches. That when individual fishing skills come it. You need to be very precise & accurate in your casting.  Make no mistake.

The male (father) toman came out of nowhere & whacked my buzz bait lure out of the water surface..  Boomz....

Finally.............fish on & I'm in actions !!!!... ;)

After a heart popping fights, landed this male toman.

The male toman in usual case will attack any intruder that come near to the fry first.. The size of the male toman is much smaller thena the female. The mama toman is usually aveg 2 X times the size of the male toman. If male is 3KG, the mama is around 6KG .




Nice hookup...

Simple lunch under the tree...;)

You must really have passion and love in fishing, then you will stay long. For those who look at fishing as work it will always be work.
No life in it.

My son...Michael - Will he be the future 'BKKGUY' of Thailand- The clone of me ??? I'll leave it to him to decide his own future. First he has to finish his studies, fishing can wait.
