Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Let's hear what your 1 dream trip would be. No restrictions, not geography, money, anything. Where would you go. (One answer per person please) My dream trip would be for 130+lb Tarpon on the fly in Fla. The size of the fish, the method of catching them,...it's all very majestic to me,...real fishing. (Not to mention you don't have to travel for 20 hrs to get there ) Quote
Guest muddy Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 A sweep throught the South> Kentucky and Barkley for a few days on those Smallies, then to Lousiana for some Red Fishing and Spotted Trouth, to Texas and a return to a certain cove on the Fork then over to Avid's house and a rip onto Stick Marsh with Mr.Welcome, and a wack at some Snook in the canals by Port Richie, and finally up to fish Varner. A solid month of Fishing Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 I'd have to say Argentina and the Urugay River for golden dorado. I hear that they are a more formidable oponent that the peacock bass. The lodget that you stay at is on an Argentinian cattle ranch as well. You get fed prime beef and Argentinian red wine all week. makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Quote
RiskKid. Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I was fortunate enough to have my dream trip two years ago. Pike fishing at a fly in lodge in Northern Saskatchewan. True wilderness, bald eagles, northern lights, great fishing, all the walleye you could eat cooked fresh on an island over a fire, Cuban cigars, incredible scenery..... It's now my dream trip all over again! Quote
dale Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 To return with my Dad to the Panama Canal Where you catch Peacock Bass and Tarpon in the same waters. I lived there from 1969 till 1975 Best fishing I have ever seen. Dale Quote
Super User Alpster Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 OK, money is no object here.... Fly fishing for tarpon in Belize with a Sage 1291 Xi2 blank wrapped by me, a Billy Pate Tarpon fly reel with a jazzy shrimp fly, tied by me. 60 feet of intermediate sinking tip line coiled between my feet and twice the leader length hanging off my rod tip, waiting for anyone to point to a silver king. One false cast to get 80' of line out right on his nose. I led him a little too much, but he lunges at the fly and the fight is on. The alarm goes off and I wake up and realize that the mortgage payment is due today! @$#%!&^. One of these days........... Ronnie Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 Wow Ronnie. I know that day will come. Your story got me excited! Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 Let's hear what your 1 dream trip would be. No restrictions, not geography, money, anything. Where would you go.

(Not to mention you don't have to travel for 20 hrs to get there ) Where did you get that idea? lol I would go Amistad in mid February, Clear Lake in early March, then back to Pickwick and Neely Henry in late March early April, head over to Lanier in late April. Finally back north to Erie and the Detriot River and home on a reservoir in Northern RI for the rest of the year Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Carl, when I first got into freshwater, a remote (key word here) Pike trip would have been my drwam trip. I Your description just rekindled THAT one! Ronnie- As long as I get my 130+, I'll tailor mine to fit yours,lol. Maybe throw in a sailfish or 2 for good measure? Quote
Super User grimlin Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 Where redlinerobert has already been too...fishing for peacock bass. I pray to be able to do this once before i die. Quote
flippincrazy Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Likewise my dream drip has already come true. It was 4 yrs ago in Canada on lake charelston. My father, brother and I bass fishing. One afternoon in two hours we boat over 100 lbs. of bass, to this day don't know why they were so stacked up in a two hundred yard long section of this flat. The biggest was only 7.6 lbs, but that is a hawg largemouth in Canada. By the way this is when we really didn't know how to fish that well, all spinning gear, 4-6lb. line. Hope we get to do it again someday. Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 Sportfishing the Kona Coast of Hawaii with Captain Norm Isaacs A week with Tom Redington learning Lake Fork & then a week of night fishing on Fork with Matt Fly A week of irritating Roadworrior while chasing Smallmouth Fishing all the legendary bass lakes across America & then Mexico Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 Fly fishing for giant Chilean brown trout in South America for one week and then stopping by for the peacocks the following week. Quote
Jake. Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 A trip to El Salto to catch a 10 lb+ largemouth, followed by a long stay in Brazil fishing for giant peacocks on the Amazon, then ending the trip on lake Erie fishing for trophie smallies. someday..... Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted January 5, 2008 Super User Posted January 5, 2008 I'd like to head down to Guntersville with everybody this spring... :'( Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Fly fishing in New Zealand for trophy Brown Trout. Even if I didn't catch a single fish, the scenery alone would make it a dream come true. Though, the 20+ hour flight is what will probably always keep this as a dream. Quote
LooksLikeSinbad Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I'd have to say Argentina and the Urugay River for golden dorado. I saw a video of this recently on-demand and it looks awesome! My sister-in-law is Argentinian and my family is due to take a trip down there in the next few years. I am def. gonna try and go for some Golden Dorado. My dream trip would probably be one of the Mexico big bass lakes with my Dad. Quote

maxke01 Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 A trip to lake fork with a guide for a whole day would be good enough for me. wish i had a better job..one that actually offers vacation time......... :'( Quote
Terry_ Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 One week guided trip to Amistad with my dad and brother. Since you said money was no object, I think KVD would make a fine guide!! Quote
