Over seas dreaming

[Ash]

hey,

Im really interested in hearing about some fishos dream fishing spots or locations over seas. any photos of actual trips would be awesome.

I bring this up because i was thinking of trip to New Calendonea, as ive heard nonstop awesome fishing reports from there.

[jeff f]

papua new guinea, spot tail bass and black bass, imagine a 30kg lure crunching cousin to the mangrove jack:woohoo:

[chubbstar]

Living in Tasmania it was always a dream to catch Barra over here, A dream that will come true this summer;)

Also a trip to NZ for trout, would be great flying up stream by chopper, then fishing with out worring about snakes having a piece of you.

Lots of snakes back in Tassie, and lots of close calls.:S

[Ash]

yeah ive seen some piccies of those bass, and man, do they look mean! good fun though!

Chubstar, im dying to go fishing down south in tassie. i'd love to try hit some of those massive tassie bream!

[roobs]

PNG For me. As jeff said. Black Bass. Fish of a life time at any size.

Also this will sound random, but i have a fishing mag here with Mongolia in it. There are these fish over 1 1/2 meters long in the fresh fast flowing rivers. They look like a cross between a trout and a saratoga. They look amazing and the scenery is out of this world. I will go there one day.

[sharker]

Ive posted a few photos a while back from my uncles charter company in PNG. They mainly cater to tourists who go to PNG just to catch a black bass. Heres a whopper.... [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/big_bass_AFO.jpg

If I was to win the lotto I have a few spots around the world I would like to suss out.

First would be ice fishing in Greenland for a couple hundred pound sleeper sharks.

Hit Florida Keys for abit of wand waving in the shallows for Bonefish.

Head over to Africa's Nasser lake for a couple of rounds with the largest freshwater fish in the world the mighty Nile Perch (392 lbs world record)...

I can almost smell the reels drag washes being smoked!!:ohmy:

Then head home for a lazy weekend up north catchin Barras and black Jews...

Ohhh I can only dream........

[Ash]

dazza that sounds awesome! i would also add south america for some peacock bass, canada for salmon and also sturgeons.

Too many places to list, but i'll send you all photos after i win this week oz lotto!!!!

[Angus]

Check this link out.

This is the place i want to go in Mongolia. It will happen.

In the magazine article they are bigger and caught on hard bodies and bait (whole chipmunks).

But this fly fishing was the best i could find online. Still worth a gander.

Scenery is amazing.

Looks like a nice spot to toss a line Angus.

Wonder how you tie a chipmunk fly ?:S

[Angus]

Yeah i think itd be easier to use the real thing

Well thats what they used in the article i refer to anyway haha.

Angus

[ellicat]

Barbarism depends on your culture I guess, but using chipmunks as bait is akin to some Fijians (? or somewhere in the area) using live dogs for shark bait.

Sorry to go off topic.

I'm with Ash, I have allways wanted to do the Salmon run in Canada. Then over to the Solomans for some hyper GT action, then back to NT for our Barra then down to SA for some Kingies, then over to Tassie for some mountian trout. Then back here for some summer sharks.:woohoo:

But Canada is first choise.

[jeff f]

then theres rooster fish in the surf in the southern u.s

tiger fish in kariba gorge in africa

dorado in the rivers of south america

bonefish on the flats of easter island

giant halibut off the coast of alaska

and on and on and on:P

[Brian D]

What about them blue rass at Lord Howe?

[Do$tylz]

I guess im gonna be hiting up Malaysia for some Snakeheads with Kiara in December.

But yep fly fishing for Salmon or trout in NZ or Canada would be amazing.

Honestly....wild barra in the NT would do it for me as well.

Mate I was in New Caledonia earlier this year. The capital Numea is an absolute HOLE. Don't go anywhere near it. But the island Lifou is pretty nice and I didn't fish it but went kayaking over a reef there and it would definately hold fish. I saw some big pelaegics (spelling) chopping squid or baitfish so I reckon metals would be the go. Had a charter fish in Vanuatu which is not far from there. Did some big game trawling for Marlin and Wahoo but had no luck and only got some small Tuna.Also did some reef fishing in about 30 FT or water. Caught a bunch of smaller reefies and hooked a few big ones but wasn't good enough to heave em out of the coral. Apparently the French are really desecrating that whole area and overfishing it badly. Some of the locals really resent them and the way they treat the environment.

[Angus]

Do$tylz i like the sound of those snakeheads as well. Ill be trying to link up with Kiara at some stage. And south America sounds cool as well. I saw a fishing trip in the amazon once, huge fish everywhere................!
