Alaska
 

:bounce: I'm with capesams, Alaska for 100+ Flounders!!

I've done Peacocks in Costa Rica. Awesome!!!!! We were actually looking to get into Tarpon, but it wasn't meant to be. A 10-15 lb Peacock on topwater buzzbaits is insane fishing. Best part was my company (at the time) paid for it. :angel: ;) :rotfl:

I have been to Alaska - Salmon ( Reds - Kings - Silvers ) - Halubit -( 75# and 195# ). I would like to go back for more salmon....Its just to nice up there not to GO back....

A week or two in the fall on Cuttyhunk - Oh hell - A whole season....
Florida for Tarpon and Reds. P.E.I. for Atlantics. Montana for Trout.
Hawaii abd Costa Rica for anything and then I'm DONE....

Like Chris L and Capesams said. Alaska. I'd love to spend a few weeks chasing halibut and Salmon.

I'd also like to spend a week on my boat staying in Cuttyhunk chasing some of the exotic fish that visit our shores. No Nextel, no work. Just one cold beer each night before I shower and go to bed. Someday I hope. Or die trying.........

Soon as I stop paying child support :D

:happy: One screaming windy am , backside , under the lighthouse. Fishing my wood , a reel smoking run from an unstoppable bass. Let me see it in the break. I will lay down and die happy, :happy:

Great Thread

I, at a fairly young age have fished for Salmon & Halibut in California, Mahi, Permit and wahoo in the US virgin islands and Marlin, sailfish and shark....in the bahamas. All Places I feel blessed to go. Last january I caught this very large shark off cat island in the Bahamas. Great fight prob biggest thing i'll ever catch ( check pictures) but......

That said if I could do one thing, it would still be catching a 50 at a certain rocky point on the south west side of martha's vineyard. I like striper fishing the most because its in my blood. I'll take a trophy at a spot I have grown to love over years of fishing above anything else

I guess I have a few dreams...in no particular order..

I would love to go fly fishing for some big trout out west with my Dad someday.( he fishes for stripers, but trout is his thing. )

To get to fish with my girls ( 6 months old right now )...I want to see their faces when they feel their first bite...my boy ( he is 9 ) and I have fished together for largemouth..( he has a 4 pounder to his credit already )..but I haven't taken him for stripers yet...this fall I hope...I really want him to get a striper.

My brother is new to the scene and has really tried hard this year, but we just can't seem to find fish lately...before the year is out..I hope he hooks up.

And for myself....I would love to go to Cutty and catch some nice fish...I have not fished the Race from the sand yet, and that has always been my dream....someday it will happen I hope. :ss:

But I have to say...if the dreams for myself don't happen...I would be happy if some of the others do.

I would just like to go out on a nice day and have a good day of fishing. I would like to catch tons of fish have some laughs bring the fish home and make some dinner.

wish list
 

I've got my own list of fish I'd like to catch before I go off to that big pond in the sky! Bonefish , Permit , Tarpon, Marlin, and of corse that 50+ lb striper! I guess that means travel at some point in the future.
:ss:

I just want to be able to fish until the day I die. Don't matter what I'm catchin'. :hidin:

Throughout my life I've had a chance to catch some unique fish. I'm still searching for that 50lb Striper but I've caught Marlin, Sailfish, Baramudi, Wahoo, Salmon, Sturgeon. Peacock Bass were fun, Halibut is boring bottom fishing. Tarpon might be fun but if I'm going to wish for something it would be this.

Northern Mongolia Taimen on the fly. These fish are also called "King of the River" A Salmon that is a voracious predator and reaches wieghts over 100 pounds. The locals use Ground Squirrels to catch these.

mongolia added to list!!! Now THAT SIR IS A TROUT!!! :cheers:

Vic, check your PMs

Live lining mullet in a small boat with conventional gear and a 150 lb. Tarpon on the other end. P.

a salmon in Jamaica Plain. came close.

break 25 pounds on a plug.

I think I'd like to do the fall run on Block too.

In the mornings, you can literally watch the migration from those houses on Southwest Point, you can see the schools with birds in tow, coming down from the north towards the Southwest Buoy. I've seen two and three big, distinct groups of fish with a mile or two between them - its way cool.
Plus this dream is reachable - I think its important to keep your dreams within the realm of possibility.

Same here, Stripers! are the only fish that makes me happy!

Fly into northern Canada for arctic char and fish the miramichi river again with my dad, even if we don't catch a single fish.

Offshore- Mahi mahi, albacore, bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, yellowtail tuna, skipjack tuna, blackfin tuna, groupers, snappers, halibuts, yellowtail, wahoo, and swordfish from NC to California.Trophy groundfish in Stellewagon banks or in Europe.

Inshore- all kinds of salmons in Alaska, red drum, moby stripers, doormat flukes, bonito, false albacore, snook, trouts in alaska, tautogs, weakfish, spotted trout, speckled trout, sheephead, cobia, peacock, roosterfish, and spanish mackerel.

i want to catch them all before I get old, weak, and withered to fish.

Man, you gonna have to hit the lottery the way U lose plugs :bl:

Not if I find a permenant and stable job that pays well after college, I can afford these and plugs :)

Notaro - Yeh - but you gotta do good in college first....

Like the a Fish Mongolia....

A 50 before I die, from shore...

A 60 from boat

I'm surprised that no one has said smallie fishing in N.H. with Charlie Moore :hee: johnny

what's wrong with bottom banging :confused: my 17 lb. fluke fought like a 40 lb. bass.
