Phi Phi Light Jigging: Andaman Sea Fishing Trip from Krabi
Head offshore from Ao Nang for an 8‑hour light jigging charter in the Phi Phi zone. Learn hands-on jigging with premium Shimano gear while chasing Trevally, Cobia, Groupers and Snappers in waters to 35 meters.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness meds
The ride to deeper fishing grounds can be bumpy—take anti-nausea medication beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and UV layers will keep you comfortable during long exposed periods on deck.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks get wet; closed-toe, grippy footwear helps you move safely while fighting fish.
Keep your catch handling simple
If you plan to take fish home, bring a small cooler and follow crew guidance on handling and local size limits.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early-morning stops near lesser-visited reef fingers where visibility and calm often improve bite rates
- •Short photo stops at limestone outcrops en route—ideal for quick island shots without full Phi Phi crowds
Wildlife
- •Green sea turtle

Conservation Note
Tour operators increasingly use mooring buoys and follow catch limits to protect reefs—respect crew guidance and avoid anchoring on coral to reduce impact.
The Phi Phi area is built from uplifted coral and limestone karst; fishing and seafaring have shaped local island communities for generations.
