Unforgettable End-of-Year escape: Hong Kong Big Fish Hunters Tame Monsters at Ón Saltwater Fishing Park in Cần Giờ
For us Hong Kongers, life in our bustling concrete jungle often feels like a non-stop high-speed train ride. As the end of the year approaches, my close-knit group of fellow Hong Kongese big fish hunters—all die-hard nature lovers and passionate big game anglers—decided it was time to step away from the skyscraper skyline and embark on an extraordinary angling adventure. We were yearning for fresh sea air, pristine coastal mangrove scenery, and above all, the brutal, bone-crushing thrill of hooked saltwater monsters.
Our destination? A brand-new, exotic angling paradise tucked away in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Cần Giờ, just outside Saigon: Ón Saltwater Fishing Park (located at 22 Đê Gốc Tre, An Thới Đông, Cần Giờ, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam). To ensure our multi-day trip was perfectly tailored, smooth, and luxurious, we entrusted our journey to VietnamFishingTours.vn, the leading sport fishing tour operator in Vietnam. What followed was an epic end-of-year holiday fishing journey that exceeded every expectation for our group of Hongkonger fishermen.

Taming Saltwater Giants at Ón Saltwater Fishing Park
Spanning a vast, extensive open-water lagoon, Ón Saltwater Fishing Park operates on an extensive natural culture model (đầm quảng canh), providing a breathtaking, eco-friendly setting with crisp, clean air. Unlike heavily artificial ponds, this expansive park offers a authentic natural vibe that immediately mesmerizes any nature-loving fisherman. Beneath its tranquil brackish surface, however, lies an adrenaline-fueled arena packed with razor-toothed apex predators weighing up to 20+ kilograms.

[ Barramundi ] [ Razor Barracuda ] [ Brawny Grouper ] [ Silver Tarpon ]
(Asian Sea Bass) Lighting strikes Structure dwellers Aerobatic jumpers
Up to 20+ kg & razor teeth & heavy drags & non-stop runs
For our crew of Hong Kong big fish hunters, the target species in these waters were the ultimate test of heavy tackle and angling technique:
Barramundi (Asian Sea Bass): The undisputed kings of Cần Giờ. Reaching massive sizes of 20+ kg, these hard-hitting giants explode on surface lures with head-shaking leaps that set your heart pounding.
Barracuda: Lightning-fast saltwater missiles with sharp teeth that demand heavy bite tippers and razor-sharp reaction times.
Grouper: Brawny, muscle-bound structure dwellers that hit like a freight train and attempt to bust your line directly into underwater snags.
Milkfish & Tarpon: The silver acrobats of the lagoon, delivering explosive runs and thrilling aerial displays that test line capacity to the absolute limit.
The Thrill of the Strike and Cash Prize Glory
There is no feeling in the world quite like standing on the banks of Ón Saltwater Fishing Park during a golden Cần Giờ sunset, casting a topwater lure, and feeling a massive Barramundi crush it in a wall of spray. The rod doubles over, the drag screams uncontrollably, and your fellow Hongkongese buddies cheer you on as you engage in a brutal tug-of-war against a 20-kilogram beast.
Adding an incredible extra layer of excitement to our weekend fishing session, Ón Saltwater Fishing Park rewards anglers who land these elusive giant specimens with direct cash prizes! Hooking a trophy Barramundi or massive Grouper, battling it through grueling runs, landing it for a quick photo shoot, and collecting a cash reward creates a intoxicating rush of dopamine.
Crucially, all angling here strictly follows humane catch-and-release practices. As responsible anglers who love nature, returning these majestic, unharmed saltwater giants back into the clean lagoon water ensures the sustainability of the fishery while leaving us with pure satisfaction and lifelong memories.
Exploring Cần Giờ: Mangrove Biosphere & Thiềng Liềng Island
While our primary goal was big game fishing in Saigon, this multi-day Vietnam fishing trip offered so much more than just bent rods. Cần Giờ is world-renowned as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, featuring lush mangrove forests, winding waterways, and an abundance of wildlife right on the doorstep of Ho Chi Minh City.
As part of our custom itinerary curated by VietnamFishingTours.vn, our group took a scenic boat voyage to Thiềng Liềng Island, one of the most secluded and peaceful gems in the region. Wandering through salt fields, cycling along quiet village paths, learning about local island traditions, and breathing in the unpolluted coastal breeze provided the ultimate mind detox after months of fast-paced urban life in Hong Kong.
