Every August, Crystal Bay wakes up to the deep rumble of diesel engines and the excitement of anglers preparing for the tuna run. In 2025, the new season opened with incredible momentum — in just two months, August and September, a record 262 tuna were landed. It marked the strongest start in years for the Gulf of Thailand, setting the tone for what promises to be a legendary season running through next April.
The success didn’t come by chance. Consistent water temperature, perfect currents, and strong baitfish presence created ideal conditions. Most catches occurred between 50–70 meters depth, where skipjack and yellowfin schools patrolled. The largest fish weighed an impressive 45 kilograms, while many averaged 15–20 kg — perfect size for both sport and dinner.

At dawn, when the first lure hits the water, the sea surface seems calm, yet beneath lies a battlefield. Captains carefully adjust trolling lines, watching sonar screens for hints of movement. When that reel starts to scream, every head on the deck turns. Anglers shout, hearts race, and muscles tighten. The adrenaline rush is the essence of Crystal Bay’s tuna season.
One highlight came on August 19th when three boats hooked tuna simultaneously — a rare “triple strike” that had the crews working in harmony to keep lines clear. All three fish were landed successfully, proving teamwork and timing matter as much as luck.
Now, with the season continuing through next April, Tom Tuna Club calls on all anglers to join the action. With 262 tuna landed in the first two months alone, this is shaping up to be the most exciting season yet.
