Chasing Saltwater Monsters in Can Gio: An Exclusive End-of-Year Angling Journey with French Entrepreneurs
As a seasoned French Fisherman and passionate globetrotter, I have pursued apex predators across the world’s most storied waters. Yet, as the calendar turned toward the end-of-year festive season, my circle of close friends—a group of discerning French entrepreneurs—sought an extraordinary escape. We wanted to blend our shared passion for world-class sport fishing with an immersive cultural retreat. Our destination: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Organized down to the finest detail by VietnamFishingTours.vn, the premier luxury fishing charter specialist in Southeast Asia, our bespoke expedition took us deep into the UNESCO-designated Can Gio Biosphere Reserve. There, tucked amidst lush mangrove ecosystems, we discovered a world-class angling haven: Ón Saltwater Fishing Park, located at 22 De Goc Tre, An Thoi Dong, Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The Thrill of the Hunt at Ón Saltwater Fishing Park
For any dedicated Angler, the true allure of Fishing in Can Gio lies in the explosive raw power of its trophy saltwater species. Ón Saltwater Fishing Park is a sanctuary crafted specifically for sport anglers who crave high-adrenaline battles.
Equipped with top-tier saltwater tackle provided by our elite Vietnam fishing guide, we targeted a legendary lineup of massive marine predators:
Barramundi (Asian Sea Bass): Renowned for their acrobatic jumps and ferocious headshakes, hooking a giant Barramundi in these brackish channels is an adrenaline rush like no other.
Barracuda: Lightning-fast strike predators that rip off reel-screaming runs within milliseconds of taking the lure.
Grouper: Deep-water powerhouse fighters that test your tackle strength to the absolute limit as they dive for cover.
Tarpon: The silver king of saltwater sport fishing, celebrated for breathtaking aerial displays and tireless stamina.
Milkfish: Torpedo-shaped speedsters that deliver long, unpredictable runs and test an angler’s finesse and patience.

The sound of screaming drag, combined with high-stakes friendly competition among lifelong friends, created an exhilarating atmosphere. Winning cash bonuses on the spot added a triumphant highlight to our weekend fishing adventure.
Exploring Thieng Lieng Island: Cultural Immersion in the Mangroves
A defining aspect of this multi-day barramundi fishing tour was the seamless blend of thrilling sport fishing with rich eco-cultural discovery. Guided by VietnamFishingTours.vn, our group traveled deeper into Can Gio to explore the peaceful sanctuary of Thieng Lieng Island.
Traditional Salt Fields: Walking among pristine salt pans, we learned about the centuries-old artisanal salt-making tradition preserved by island elders.
Community Cultural Exchange: We engaged warmly with local islanders, learning about life in harmony with the surrounding biosphere reserve.
Herbal Foot Soaks: After demanding fishing battles at the park, relaxing our feet in traditional warm herbal infusions while looking out over peaceful riverbanks offered exquisite rejuvenation.
Fresh Seafood Gastronomy: The culinary highlight was an elaborate banquet featuring freshly harvested mud crabs, grilled oysters, giant prawns, and local fish, paired with fine French wines we brought along for the occasion.
