Hale Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Where would it be? Me: On the amazon fly fishing for huge peacock bass. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted July 10, 2006 Super User Posted July 10, 2006 El Salto. (is that how you say it?) Quote
JiggaMan512 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Ha. My answer also. Those things look so amazing i cant imagine being in Brazil or whereever reeling one in Quote
CK14 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 i would have to say the amazon too. not just for bass but all the other weird fish too. Quote
flyphisher # Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Cuba Flyfish for trophy smallies in Canada Quote
bassnleo Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Another vote for South America and peacock bass. Quote
Bassassasin12 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 El Salto, I've watched too many fishing shows where they pull out 10 pound plus bass like nothing. Quote
BassKing813 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Lake El Salto, Amazon River, and Florida Everglades. Yes I live in Florida, but I haven't had the chance to fish the glades yet. :'( Quote
Super User Alpster Posted July 10, 2006 Super User Posted July 10, 2006 Belize, do a Google "fishing in belize" you will see why. JMHO Ronnie Quote
Super User cart7t Posted July 10, 2006 Super User Posted July 10, 2006 El Salto for bass, Central or South America for Peacocks. Quote
Live.2.Fish Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Gans Lake (j/k its a 15 acre lake by my house) El Salto for me too! ;D Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I'll be at Forrest's house If he's not home, I guess I'll borrow his plane and go join the party you guys will have rolling, down on the Amazon. Quote
Fish Chris Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I'd love to fish South America for huge exotic catfish and Pacu's. Peacocks (wherever they get biggest) would be fun too..... But when the poster said, "Bass fishing" I was assuming he meant "Largemouths" and that being the case, their is no place I'd rather fish that right here in Nor Cal. We have "bigger bass" than they do in those Mexican lakes :-) BTW, when you see videos, and here's stories of El Salto, and other Mexican lakes and "all of the 10 lb'ers" you are only seeing the best of the best. Fact is, for the most part, those lakes kick out lots of 6 to 9's (and even then, not always) but a LOT of people go down there expecting a 10 plus fish or several, and end up disapointed. All of this said, if I were to go to Mexico, I'd probably pic Baccarac...... The nearly forgotten, original Mexican big bass lake. From what I have heard, it is much tougher than the new, more popular lakes like El Salto. Much lower numbers of fish nowadays, but a much better shot at a really big fish of say 15 to 19 lbs. Even so, for a 20 plus fish, you probably have better odds in Southern California. Peace, Fish Quote
Aaron Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I would love to fish in Florida, Texas or California for big bass. I feel bad though because I live w/in 5 minutes of KY lake (already mentioned twice in this thread) and take it for granted. I can be fishing KY or Barkely in 5-10 minutes. I don't ever do as well as the stories I hear about my homelake so I have never personally seen the potential. I need to try harder I guess. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 10, 2006 Super User Posted July 10, 2006 I would like to fish the lakes and rivers of the BASS circuit with the best guide on each body of water, a week or two in front of the tour. And, as others have mentioned, Brazil fishing for peacock bass, but they are not really "bass". Quote
Super User senile1 Posted July 10, 2006 Super User Posted July 10, 2006 Any California lake for humongous bass would be good. Lake Fork in Texas and El Salto in Mexico would be fine too. Quote
Super User Matt Fly Posted July 10, 2006 Super User Posted July 10, 2006 South of the Border and Mexico. Quote
FALCON Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 FOR ME, FROM APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER LAKE ST. CLAIR. NOT JUST BECAUSE I LIVE ON IT BUT BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT FISHING HOLE. (JUST ASK K.V.D.) THE REST OF THE TIME IT'S A TOSS-UP BETWEEN SOUTHERN CAL, TEXAS, AND FLORIDA.(I'D LIKE TO FISH TOHO AGAIN BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME I FISHED IT WAS AFTER A HORRIBLE COLD FRONT) Quote
jbass Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Aprox an hour and a half from my house, I can be at some of the greatest fisheries in the state of California. Why would I want to go anywhere else? Quote
Hookem Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Boundary waters of Minn and Canada for smallies. 8-) No place but Texas for largies! Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I'd like to do South America for peacock bass and the Orlando-Central Florida area lakes for LM bass. Quote
