so many options for someone who enjoys being on the water....

I've been heading down to the Keys in the spring to camp the last few years and paddle board the flats and mangroves...hoping over time to spend more and more time there, with friends flying in to fish and stay throughout my stay....there are so many options, locations and species in a relatively small area it never gets boring and there is always another challenge, often just the wind....camping keeps the cost way down and it's 80's every day..... on the water all day everyday so I really only need a bed and place to cook and keep the beer cold.....there are also great places to stop and fish between here and there and I like to DIY and explore, driving means I can bring everything...I was terrified of the drive initially but it's not that bad and the anticipation makes it go quickly...I could do this over and over and be perfectly content

Too bad the photos are gone (imageshack) as the Australia Deep Point Thread was amazing.

My dream trip was just canceled. I was booked for Panama for April 3-11 where we would spend the time offshore on a mother ship that has 6 center consoles within minutes of world class fishing on Hannibal bank. Oh well

Going for Tarpon would be my dream trip. Especially from a kayak

Rooster fish in Mexico with you.

Take over the whole Cuttyhunk Fishing Club again with S-B members, including ALL the political forum adversaries, and see them get back on the Sea Horse as friends after a weekend of great fishing...:devil2:

Done the keys a number of times, flats for bones was interesting, jumping thrashing black tip sharks is wild, but being eye to eye with a 100 lb tarpon is the best. My dream trip now would have to include my middle son and one hell of a fisherman and it wouldn’t matter where. Costa Rica or Panama might be high on my list for sure.

I'm ready!

Those were great trips and I met some great people.

You and me both Chris. Loosing this trip is killing me after 5 months of looking forward to it. Hopefully next year.

Just got back.......we did the mother ship a few years ago, this year we did Sportfish Panama Island Lodge.......amazing time. Hope you get your trip rescheduled in the near future

On the Run, maybe this year is the year.

Just need a wing man, and maybe a boat. Better yet, a wing man with a boat!

Thinking next year now..... day or two in San Diego then head south...

Any night on the rocks in the surf. 90 degrees or 45 degrees. Big surf or flat. Catching or not. On the sand during the day, snotty, with the ganets diving and no one else anywhere to be seen, catching or watching, and wondering why no one else sees why they should be there. The sun will come up tomorrow and it will set tomorrow night, some o us will be here to see it and some of us will be on tyo the next adventure.

In a wetsuit on a rock at PJ, near the big one, casting a superstrike darter, Near an old stand west of the club at Cuttyhunk or a rock on the se point by Canapitsit would work for me.
But I’ll probably have to settle for Pike, trout and bass this year.

settle ???
I,ll take that ..a lot my peaceful ><><

I remember being about 6, putting a worm on my hook, jamming the butt of the little plastic yellow rod in between the boards on the foot bridge over the stream behind my grandparent’s cabin in Wyoming. Promptly fell asleep until I was woken up by a nice rainbow on the end of the line. I didn’t learn until many years later my uncle went and caught the fish for me.

That would be a pretty nice trip today even if Rockhound would probably drop it. Might have even been the last time I fished 😂

I’d be down for western baja Mexico and throwing giant poppers for Cubera snapper and mahi off the beach

Loved that Australian Deep Point thread!
Mine would be fishing anywhere at night with my son. We've seen some cool stuff in the dark. One year, at the end of a night in Weekapaug, we ended up at the west side of Quonnie bway... the end of the outgoing tide.
Out of the current comes a 10 inch bunker into the clear water - it was looking right at us. Then a blue comes up and chops it in half from behind. Those eyes still looking at us with a "wtf just happened!!" look (we imagined). Then another blue came and inhaled the remainder.
Looked at my son and said "cool, but if you believe in kharma, don't come back as a baitfish..."
Anyway... have a good night.

Hmmmm.....
Coin toss.

Monster Roosterfish on topwater in the big surf of the Baja.
Or
Giant Trevally, topwater also, on Christmas Island.

Perchance to dream......

GT fishing wherever he bite is best.

love that

Fishing for giant rainbow trout in Patagonia.

my dream trip would have nothing to do with fishing,it would be heliskiing in Alaska. though not a dream trip,my 16 day trip to Tahoe to ski with my son is now a nightmare and not a dream. 6to 8 ft of snow the last few days and more on the way,nothing like insult to injury

The Kola Peninsula in Russia for Atlantic Salmon.

Musky fishing from my kayak with my plugs! Pennsylvania or Michigan area!

Stripers by night, Albies by day, Bonefish by winter. I'm happy with what I've got and, at this stage of my life, no longer dream about exotic trips. I would like to catch an effing Squeteague, however.

come to Connecticut

Senior year in college I took 1 week off after spring break to go to Lake Tahoe. First day there no snow on the ground. That night it started snowing and continue snowing for 10 straight days. They couldn't keep up with it and you would go to a ski area Only to find out it was closed. Alpine Meadow had a Avalanche that wiped out baselodge killing a few people. It took us an extra five days the finally get home.
