Hey guys,
SkunkedAgain's post today about good fishing in So Cal got me thinking....
What is your dream fishing trip in the continental U.S.? I've got a bunch of Southwest Miles I need to use up. :-) Could be a trip you've already done, or one that is still on your bucket list.
I've always wanted to go to Alaska or even Brazil for Peacock Bass, but those trips will be when I'm a lot wealthier.

Hey Nate, I've been watching an ocean run out of Depoe Bay, Oregon for a couple years, Tradewinds has a great on line fishing report I watch to see how the fishing is and I'd love to run up for a Tuna trip and catch a few rock fish as well... the halibut and salmon would be fun as well, but they don't seem to have a high fill rate on them... If ya have free flight tickets, the daily fee isn't too bad, a couple hundred could make a great trip... Later J

Good choice, I grew up not too far from Depoe bay, as far as variety of fish you can catch it is fantastic. Each summer I would catch king salmon, silver salmon, halibut, tuna, ling cod, sea bass, and all other varieties of bottom fish. My favorite was to catch the salmon and tuna, few things are more exciting than a 40 lb king salmon on the end of you line.
And for my dream trip I would have to say fly fishing at Jurassic lake Argentina, the average rainbow is 8 lbs!

Alaska's my choice, however Southwest doesn't fly to Alaska so how about some southern off shore fishin in mexico. Love to catch me a marlin or some mahi mahi. Either way it'll be a memory of a lifetime, go have fun.

The fishing meccas are the corners. SE-Florida Keys. NW-Alaska. SW-Baja/Mexico. NE-well, maybe not in the same league as the other three corners. The Keys and Alaska are where its at, everything else is second fiddle.

Already had my ultimate fishing trip. Fished for huge smallies on Wheeler Dam in Alabama. 5 fish limit would have been close to 21 lbs. And I caught 15 fish over 3 lbs.
It was pure heaven.

Thanks that's what I've been thinking it would be a fun trip. But I think your dream trip sounds like a blast as well, but its a little beyond my means to do. Later J

Wait....the ultimate fish!

I agree south Florida or Alaska is were it's at. However the you're just not thinking up North or down East enough- I'd love to try Newfoundland or Labrador out for Atlantic salmon and brookies. I had a trip planned over 15 years a but the S. O. ruined those plans.
