I’m easy to please. But I have a few in mind. 1. Fish and camp for a week or so along the suwannee river. Never fished it, but it’s been on the list for a long time.

2. Would like to fish for at least a few days in the mountains of North carolina or tennessee.( At somewhere I can catch some smallmouth!

 3. I’d love to spend a week camping  at my old haunts in the Ocala national forest. Good bassin and cats on a trotline !

4. I would just love to go inshore fishing with my middle son, at our normal range anywhere  between Mayport down to St Augustine . We usually do very well for Redfish, flounder , sheephead, black drum, you name it. 

But he’s 1000 miles away ….?

 I’d also like to have a week or so and just fish a different lake or two  in my area every day…

 

My dream trip would be one where, I never backlash, I don't loose any lures, and the big one doesn't get away.   Species and location, would be small mouth bass at Lake Menderchuck.

I highly recommend you fish and camp along the Suwannee River when you get a chance, it is an awesome experience. I drove all the way from South Florida to do this and it is one of my favorite road trips. I caught lots of nice fish, but the scenery alone was worth the trip!

I have fished the Santa Fe river several times,which goes into   the suwanee. Catching suwannee bass was one of the highlights!

Baccarac in Mexico 

Marlin, Bluefin, Tarpon, Baracuda, Canada Musky and pathetic I haven’t checked it off yet because I’m only a couple hours away from both but smallmouth on St. Clair and northern Michigan. 

Make it HAPPEN!

I’ve been fortunate as a high schooler to fish Champlain, 1000 Islands and Lake Ontario in June was absolutely amazing.

 

my dreams- to fish South America from the mountains to the ocean for anything and everything that swims. I would love to go to Australia and fish there as well while touring the country. I want to take two weeks and inshore fish the keys from my kayak. I’ve had a couple one day outings but I want to put serious time in there. I want to go to my grandma’s home country and experience European fishing as well and make a short hop to experience fly fishing in Ireland.

in order for it to qualify for my dream trip, it needs to have EPIC travel involved.  pure adventure.

 

for me, so far two trips.

 

1. Tuna fishing in the Ascension Islands.

2. Tiamen Trout fishing in Mongolia.

 

I'm gonna do one of them one day.  if it kills me to save up the $$.  I think to fish the Ascensions, you are at the mercy of military transport planes.  you come and go on their schedule.  freaking cool!!

I also want to fish the Amazon River. I got close when I visited Peru.  Not the typical Brazil visit, but I did get to wet a line. This was a neighboring river. The Tambopata River.  I’ll get on the Amazon one day. 
 

a jaguar came out of the jungle near us, swam a few circles in the river and glided away.  I don’t remember breathing.  Adventure. 
 

oh and I did get a fish.  A big black Pacu.  It was my birthday:)
 

Nice pacu @Darth-Baiter, they are one of my favorite fish to catch. The power and endurance pacu have for their size is impressive to say the least. They are pure muscle, with a strong, broad tail that they know how to use very well.

My dream trip is to go hit the water when I want and stay as long as I want.

truth.  I used the most beat up equipment ever.  super heavy rod and super heavy mono line.  I couldn't cast it at all.  the reel was supplementedly secured with wire.   I thought the fish was going to pull the reel off the rod.    if I could, I would send that fisherman a couple super heavy Ugly Sticks and some decent reels.  hehe...  it was my best fish fight to date.  I'll never forget it.

I’d have to agree with that, pretty much impossible

I will never forget the biggest pacu I caught either, pound for pound it fought harder than any freshwater fish I have caught, and fought harder than many saltwater fish of equal size I caught as well. Pacu are built for power, speed, and maneuverability, they are a awesome gamefish to say the least!
