Dream Bass fishing trips

[soflabasser]

Anywhere I can catch a new species of black bass is a place I would like to fish. Have caught many species of black bass so that narrows the list of places I will visit in the future.

Smallmouth- Mille lacs,  Largemouth-El Salto or which ever lake is the best-Mexico, Peacock bass somewhere in South America.

Toledo bend and somewhere with good smallmouth. Never caught a smallie.

Yes, very good for Smallmouth Bass! I've never been, but have read a ton about both places.

 

I friend has been to the Boundry Waters twice that I know of. A float plane flew him and his party from Ely, MN out to a certain location. At the location, the outfitter had canoes stationed with enough supplies (camping and food) for seven days. They brought their own fishing equipment. The group floats back to a prearranged pick up point. Greg told me that by day five or six, he was sick of catching Smallies and Walleye. I called b/S but he swore that it was true.

I don't doubt the smallies.. I've been on a few lakes further north (I'm in Milwaukee) that I was sick of catching smallies after a weekend. Our record was 100 smallies in 5 hours between me and my buddy.

The Big O and Toledo Bend

Okeechobee and Kissimmee

Surprised no one has mentioned Baccarac.

 

Once you go, you'll never be the same.

You guys are making me appreciate living in the north. I've envied southerners for a long time because of your giant LMB. But then you talk about having never caught a SMB. Makes being able to catch 4-7lb LMB and 2-5lb SMB feel a bit better as you get both worlds.

I live in Dunkirk!! Small world man. I fished the Niagara river few weeks ago with buddy from work. 

My favorite place in the world to fish!

The big o and a day on Erie with @Dwight Hottle to get a tremendous lesson on fishing a jerkbait; a real weakness for me. And a night with @Catt at Toledo Bend. Oh, and the Fall with @A-Jay to fish on those clear lakes in MI. 

 

Four outstanding fisheries with genuinely great folks!

[MichaelCopeland]

Okeechobee and Sam Rayburn for largemouth

Eerie and Hubbard for smallmouth

I've never caught a smallmouth because there aren't any in Louisiana. It would definitely be awesome to fish for some of those brown bass! ?

@Catt you're not that far from Pickwick.  It's a great SM lake.

 

It's a pretty good drive from Southwest Louisiana ?

A day on Lake Erie with Dwight Hottie, catching those bronze bruisers would be sweet, but meeting Dwight would be enough.  Dwight its Big G from FBN.

Never fished anywhere outside of the state of Florida so I could catch a bluegill in Valdosta and be good. I’m going to catch a smallmouth and a walleye somewhere and purchase an 18 pack of PBR and update my Facebook. That’s happening

Love fishing new waters and have been blessed to fish quit a few thanks to BASS and FLW and moving to Tennessee.  Fishing the Erie would be cool but was blessed with smallies  on the Columbia River in both size and numbers and little boat traffic so was spoiled there.  Am hoping to get to Lake Lanier some day and my second choice is....gosh...not sure.  Love it all.....

[SDoolittle]

Lake Biwa and Wriggleswade Reservoir.

A number of places, but Lake Okeechobee seems to be the one that will happen soon. My brother moved to Orlando last year so I have at least a free place to stay within a couple hours of the lake.

Just when I was appreciating my location, a 9 year old ruined it all over again. 

 

 

I was fishing a river and this kid shows up trying to chit chat. He asks me, what is easier to learn on, spinning or baitcasting. I go through the quick tutorial and afterwards I said, I'm surprised you know what a baitcaster is, a lot of kids don't. This little dude tells me, that's because I'm from Florida where we actually have fish! ?

So, you're saying, once you go Baccarac, you never go back?

More like after a trip there - one's 'idea' of what 'good bass fishing' is or can be, may be changed quite a bit.

For me personally, after one full day on the water, I knew I would be doing everything possible to get back.

The accounts and descriptions of each trip made there define  'Dream Bass Fishing'. 

And I'll be there again in 76 days.

I've been to Lake Lanier, but never fished it. That was back when I was a teenager and had lost interest in fishing by then. My dad used to live in Stone Mountain. He had a 27.5' Bayliner and we had lots of fun being towed around in a 2 man raft. Beautiful lake and sure would like to fish it now. Wish I had still been into fishing then. The knowledge I would have if I'd never lost interest. ?

Id like to go fish some wild , remote lake up north and camp out for a week or two and get some smallmouths., since Ive never caught one .

I think Id be content with largemouths just to get back to Rodman 0again someday. Its only about 60 miles away, but it might as well be 6,000 with my lack of time and extra $ to go.?

I like the idea of some wild remote place too. Camping out, catching some smallmouth and plenty of peace and quiet. That's a real " dream bass fishing trip".
