I would love to hook into a big Goliath !!!!!!! I have a trip booked next july for some west coast deep sea fishin... I think we will be targeting tuna mostly, but the odd Marlin does get caught I guess ! Edited December 10, 2009 by Lunker777
trapshooter Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 A dream trip for me would be to head up to Lake of the Woods with some of my best friends for a few days of hardcore Musky fishing. We would also pass the down time by fishing for shore lunch Walleye. I've been up in Sioux Lookout, there were some pretty good Musky lakes up there, but there was limited fishing time while I was there. Buddy... come back up to Sioux Lookout. I'll put you on some big Lac Seul muskies and walleye.
ccmtcanada Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 I'd have to say big sturgeon in BC!
fish-miester Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 Golden Durado , and some big peacock bass would be on my too-do list
Ron Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 I'm with Cliff on this one. After seeing Snady and Adam's trip on the Fraser battling those enormous Sturgeon, that would be a trip of a lifetime to me!
vinnimon Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Hows this one sound.Going for a swim at the tip of the toe,after going to the fish market.My uncle told me It was okay to swim. Baracudas are plenty,next time Im bringing a spear.I thought I was bait.
Moosebunk Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Tree River arctic char... Very easy choice.. (Stolen from Bunks thread) Ya see... char were my dream for as long as fishing has been more than just a hobby. And yes... it's not just about the fish sometimes, but where you end up going to catch them. It was by weird circumstances that I actually ended up on the Tree River as it was an Ungava trip that fell through. And, having been there and caught those char... it's still mind-boggling to me how often I continue to dream and think about that paradise in the arctic, and its fish that are the greatest of their kind in the world and so unbelievably beautiful. It's funny how as I was just driving home from work in the blowing snow tonight, I was reliving Bren's and my boat ride out to the Arctic Ocean where we gazed at a sun that just wouldn't quite set... And yesterday, our copy of Arctic Lure from Plummer's came in the mail and I was thinking about the fishing there, and how Bren and I were really blessed to catch what we did. Man, it's totally perfect to have shared that trip with Bren as well... problem is, I mention fishing trip with her and back to Great Bear and the Tree is where she wants to go. Over the years I've had some big hard-ons for purely amazing fish like sailfish, sturgeon, marlin and speckles, but none of these caught by me in any of those great experiences could ever surpass the char experience at the oasis in Coronation Gulf known as the Tree River. I don't have a "single" new fish to dream about since those two nights on the edge of the universe at Tree. If you have a dream fish... and you haven't caught it... get busy making it happen. Cause experiences like that you can take to the grave and beyond.
mistyriver1 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 I'm with Cliff on this one. After seeing Snady and Adam's trip on the Fraser battling those enormous Sturgeon, that would be a trip of a lifetime to me! Ron. I'm about 40 minutes from the Fraser right now. I'm out here on business, second time in the past three months. I will get back here and it is on my "to do" list. I'd have to add Tarpon as a "wish list" as well.
corvette1 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 in 02 the plant i worked for shut down i had a trip booked the amazon for peacock bass i lost a 1000$ deposit someday i'll go
BillM Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Drew, the Tree is on my bucket list, along with a few other places.
ehg Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Always thought that trolling the St. Lawrence for giant fall musky would be pretty good. Would have to be all expenses paid full week trip in a heated cabin type boat.
Michael_Brown Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Giant Halibut off the Queen Charlotte Islands BC. Just the thought of hooking something that is 200-400lbs and flat like a door gets me going. Interesting fish the way their eyes move as they grow. I have heard they have to shoot the big ones before thy can be boated. I actually met someone years ago who went to the Queen Charlotte's on vacation and never went home. They called their adult children to sell their home, bought a place and have lived there ever since. That has to be special. The scenery, ocean and giant fish. Someday...

mepps Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Blue Marlin from Hawaii for me! Of course, I'd also need a time machine to go back 35 years or so... Edited December 11, 2009 by mepps
fish_fishburn Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 My bucket list includes Sturgeon fishing on the Fraser River, and those monster steelies on the Skeena. Man there huge fish.
trevy727 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 It's an option trust me, except the part about being the first person.I have a couple lakes that fit the bill and as far as I know I'm the only one who's fished 'em in the last 30 odd years. solo, please take me. that's my dream too. a double digit brook trout! i won't tell anyone.
MCTFisher9120 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Alligator Gar look interesting to me. Those and blue shark I would go fishing for some day.
solopaddler Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 solo,please take me. that's my dream too. a double digit brook trout! i won't tell anyone. PM sent
[email protected] Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Giant amazonian arapina on top water lures...chunky baramundi...the great indian masheer......hopefully i will have pictures of me with at least two of the three in the next three years....
smitter Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Arctic Char & Alligator Gar. But quite frankly, I'd settle for catching a 6 pound speck somewhere in Algoma.
