Your ideal fishing trip
Put us on some of them smalllies Steve! I still have a picture of you and
that 6lber you caught on the Firetiger SW hanging on my picture board here at work. People seem to really like that picture. "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "Chris S" wrote in message ... Ya Charles I'll second that! I would love to fish Lake Champlain for a week. Give Steve a break this year. Then it won't be the Northwoods Classic, it would be the Northeast Classic. I enjoy organizing and hosting the NWC. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Your ideal fishing trip
What about Cuba?
I hear that Castro has some nice bass lakes down there. "SimRacer" wrote in message m... "Henry Hefner" wrote in message ... Warren's thread about best bass trip of '04 started me thinking. What is your IDEAL bass trip? I would imagine for some it would be big fish, others numbers, or location, or spending time with friends. For me, in order of importance: 1. My ideal trip would have to be shared. 2. The location would have nice scenery with as little evidence of man as possible. 3. Generally if I could decide one over the other, I'd rather catch 20 small keepers than 2 or 3 larger ones in the same amount of time. UNLESS one of those large ones was a real trophy! I'm just a simple country boy, so to me ANY bass fishing trip is ideal; month, day, and weather bedamned. But if we're reaching for the stars here, I'd say some lake in Mexico where fish over 10 lbs are plentiful, or maybe somewhere further South where I could get a chance at a decent sized Peacock Bass. If that Make-A-Wish stuff above is too much, I'd settle for tying into a 50+ lb striper down at the coast here in NC sometime. Of course if we're talking "dream" dates here, I'd like to find a nice lake, any lake, full of fish, that hadn't seen a hook in it for 10 years or so....but was otherwise ecologically sound, of course. We had access to a lake like that once, got fished only a handful of times every year, by only a handful of people. The owner died, the lake and surrounding property sold, and fishermen line the bank day in and day out now. The fishing there has died considerably since, and hardly any keeper bass are ever caught there anymore. Back in the day, a *bad* day there was 5 or 6 4-pounders, with a couple 5+ thrown in for good measure. Not bad for a 20 acre lake/pond. |

Your ideal fishing trip
Well, depends on the political climate toward us Yanks down there at the
time. If I thought I could survive the trip, I would consider it. And maybe puff on a couple of Cuban Cohiba or Partagas smokes while I was there. It would be kind of hard to sneak cigars in with the bands off coming from CUBA, so I'd have to enjoy them there. It is much easier to get a few Cuban smokes in from Aruba....so I hear. lol "Charles Summers" wrote in message ... What about Cuba? I hear that Castro has some nice bass lakes down there.
