USA trip Texas, also managed some beautiful smaller gar species in Texas sight casting small baits and rope lures, mostly spotted gar and Amy scored a beautiful Longnose on a rope lure

Some of the Alligator gar we caught on the Trinity river in Texas on our US trip, absolutely love these fish

Started in East Tennessee flew into Knoxville, stayed at air bnb outside Newport Then moved to air bnb near Dickson

Pm sent 🙂

Spawning Coosa bass I was told

Here's some of the bass my wife and I caught during our week in Tennessee, even managed a Coosa in a remote mountain stream We really loved Tennessee such a beautiful green state Big thankyou ti the advice we got from members here on lure choices and extra thanks to @TnRiver46 for all the info given More pictures from Texas and Idaho to follow

about 35 inches maybe a bit more, only hot a very rough measure

Caught loads of fish on my 3 week USA trip but this pike (my first ) is my favourite watched it eat my soft plastic and by some miracle not cut 10lb leader, even better got it all on film

Caught stacks of bluegill on these, #6 1/20thoz jighead worked super slow

I can easily hook you up with murray cod

Tip of the iceberg on Australian fish

No We have Australian bass and a bunch of other awesome freshwater species

Day 1 of a 3 week trip to the US, staying just out of Newport Tennessee, Got a few nice smallies in the river behind the air bnb Hopefully it's a sign of things to come, beautiful area too

I watched those videos looked awesome

That's awesome We love non touristy areas, our Ohio friends joining us in Tennessee came to Australia last year and I took them to places where their accent got a I don't understand reaction guess they're returning the favour 🤣

Awesome, Love curly tails Definitely will put a post up

don't know exactly which bodies of water we'll be fishing, we do have a day with a guide chasing striper will be doing some fishing around pigeon forge as well never fished the US before, was thinking small cranks, 2.5" - 3" soft plastics with a jig spinner (pretty much standard Australian bass lures) but very happy to here your expertise

thanks mate

Heading to the states in June from Oz. Starting in Tennessee around Newport, I believe there are smallmouth there, just after a few lure suggestions mostly fishing light setups (4-8lb)

Just don't pat any dogs and you'll be fine as far as rabies goes

My wife and I are going with these guys in March, so far they seem pretty good Amazon Fishing Vacations for Real Adventure Fishing in South America (amazon-angler.com)

thanks guys

Hey guys My wife and I (from Australia) are stopping over in Miami in March fir a few days on our way to Guyana. We'll have our fishing gear with us just wondering if anyone could suggest any areas in Miami worth having a cast, we're happy to catch anything Cheers Dave

Interesting comments. as known I'm from Australia and my local river is loaded with bull sharks mostly juveniles but a shark up to 8 feet is not an uncommon capture. From what I understand bull sharks give birth in freshwater-brackish water to reduce competition and predation of the young sharks. Most of the really large sharks are generally caught during the annual sea mullet run when mullet school up and slowly migrate from the upper river into the ocean during this time the bull shark population explodes in the river. The area of the main bull shark population also happens to be the most popular area for waterskiing in 35 years I have never heard of n attack in the river in fact the sharks seem to only feed on mullet or eel when they are in the river. Bull sharks get a bad reputation but when you consider how few attacks there are for how close they regularly come close to humans they are no more dangerous than any other of the whaler species.

I literally brought in a beer glass that had been chucked in the river from a pub right next to where I was fishing with an octopus inside it, he was using the glass as a home
