[QUOTE="SLE, post: 402529, member: 3889"] Your talking my language YCbtx. I've fished enough in life at this point, both on good and bad trips and charters that I've gotten pretty picky and I dig pretty deep in research looking for the best fishing opportunities that are going to provide not only quantity, but more important the best chances for quality fish. Head to Grand Caymen in a few weeks and plan to do a day of reef/in-shore fishing hunting for some Silver kings and bone fish; and a day offshore for waahoo, and black fin & yellow fin Tuna. Have the guide dialed in and booked for the offshore trip, still looking for the right guide for the reef/in shore trip. Tarpon have been on my bucket list for a long time but our trips to florida are always a little early for when they migrate up the gulf coast. so hoping to take advatange of this trip to hook into atleast a juvinile. Best Trip bar none has been with Compass Rose Charters out of Key West, FL. If you have a chance, go on one of their Tuna trips. We we went through two 50ish lb gunny sacks of bait in 4 hours and 3 of us were literally hooked up from the time we dropped a line until we ran out of bait. Loaded up on big Black Fin Tuna and had fun with some bonito tuna that were mixed in with the blacks. Ran out of bait and ran out a few more miles to a communication tower and hooked into a 300lb 13 ft bull shark. absolute top notch charter! The bad part of a trip like this, it's like a hit of cocane for an addict, you'll be chasing a trip like this the rest of your life! Would like to spend more time exploring lake of the woods way north up in the islands, I think there's a ton of potential. I Feel the same way about Reindeer Lake, SK. Both are big boddies of water that I've spent a little time on but left wanting to explore more of both. Dunlops Lodge was another great trip up in northern Mantoba. Fly-in deal with basically zero lake pressure located about halfway between Thompson MB and churchill MB where the polar bears migrate down to. Mostly a pike hunting trip but some great walley fishing to be had up in the little pickeral river. Another good one was fishing reds and snook near Tampa FL with Instinct Fishing and captain Travis Yaeckel. pulled a bunch of big reds out of the mangrove roots. On the bucket list yet is to get a good musky trip to eagle lake a similar; a walleye trip on Erie, a good Bill fishing trip for marlin or sailfish will definately happen at some point, sturgeon on the Rainy, somewhere with big Large mouth bass such as Lake Okeechobee, and maybe walleye fishing on the columbia, and I suppose I better have an alaskan halbit trip on the list!
