Best Most Exotic Place you have ever Fished

[RedskinFan228]

I would have to say, and I have fished in alot of places for alot of different type fish from Tarpon in fla to 6lb small mouth in Canada to Marlin on both coasts to blue gill in a famialy pond :D:D:D

The most exotic place would have to be salmon fishing in Kodiak Alaska. Lived there for two years. Let me tell you it is just like you see on TV. salmon going up stream to spawn in 4 inches of water. Fishing deep holes in rivers that are still wild. I remember catching silver salmon 25 pounds and up like we catch croakers. Coho, chnook, and kings (over 50lbs) No people for miles. Having to give up your favorite fishing hole because the Kodiak brown bear (largest grizzly bear in the world) decided he wanted to fish. Throwing back 5-7 pound dolly varden trout like they were trash fish because you wanted salmon. Watching bald eagles and I mean 50+ sitting on the ice of a frozen lake. man it was just beautiful and the fishing well nothing could beat it. You could fish from the beach for salmon as they are making the run to the river or catch small halibut up to 50lbs off the beach (the big ones 200lbs and up ypou needed deep water and a boat). But you had to watch out for the seals that were everywhere in the water. You could watch the killer whales 50 yards off the beach. Best of all you could drive with the use of a big 4x4 anywhere your truck could go no restrictions. Now that was gods country. Some day would love to show everyone pictures.

Damn Ken, ya killing me, but at the risk of sounding like a happily married guy, well the most exotic place I go, well, aw shucks, would be bed with my wife and friend, snuggling until sleep falls upon me.

But then there is AI, and well figure I give up two and a half days a week during the season for there, so, maybe I am not happily married, and want, need to get away.

Lived in Yuma, Arizona, more to the point, point, here, and some of the mountain streams were pretty cool, and some friends had relative still in Mexico, would head down there, do some beach fishing, and well fresh it was, fish on a fire, on the beach, with some cold Negro Medellos, and good friends, and some of that Mexican crap, Mescal, whoa nelly, and some other "Mexican crap" that I would prefer to keep that annonymous.

Me, tried to talk the wife into an Alaskan honeymoon, I lost she won, South Carolina it was, and have been going back to SC every year since for vacation.

Have Jeep will travel :D

I enjoyed fishing in Naples, Italy. We used
to go down to the ocean and fish right next
to some large cliffs. You would look up
and see huge cliffs on eithor side with
huge Italian villas on them. The sun would
just beat down on you with a hot dry heat
that felt great. You could walk back up to
the main road in the little town behind
you and get some Italian ice cream or
some seafood pasta or a buffallo mazarella
and ham (cured not cooked) sandwich
with a nice cold coke to wash it down.

Also in Hawaii we used to live on Schofield
barracks...there was a pond around
there somewhere that had these monster
size Talapia in it (That's why I chose my
user name). Just swarms of them.
We would dig up some earth worms right
in the trees that surrounded the pond and
catch all that we wanted...good times.

I can't say it was the most exotic or even the best but what a time.
Summer of 93, I was on detachment to Roosevelt Roads Puerto Rico and stumbled on to a sub pier that look real inviting. I remember going to the NEX and picking up the first, well the only rod and reel I could afford and that was beefy enough that could handle the big fish that the locals were talking about.
The funny thing about it was the three other guys that I talked into going fishing with me bought light spinning reels. Let’s just say they wound up catching bait.
So here is the set up. 6 foot fighting rod with a 6/0 Penn, 30lb test, 4’ 100 lb wire leader and a balloon. And please I’ve come along way sense then and I don’t recommend or would ever use a balloon rig again.
Man but that day the way the wind was blowing, it was perfect. The balloon would drift about a hundred yards or so and then wham! Fish on!!!
Landed my first Tarpon that day. Also caught that day were shark, jacks, Wahoo (the guy I was with said it was) and even managed to catch a big grouper off the bottom when my balloon popped.
The guy on the sub asked if he could keep the grouper and the cook made short change of it real quick.
It was one of the best times ever and I thought I was the man right up until some little kid pulled up a 6 foot tarpon right beside the dam pier with a hand line…….PUNK!
