Hypothetical question here....opinions?

[Roadglideguy]

So if someone gifted you $10K to go on an ultimate fishing trip for a week where would you go and why?

 

[Mossback]

Nicaragua for Tarpon...
Because I'd have 5k plus left over, or could go twice.

 

[Salmo_g]

Chile or Argentena and stay at one of those expensive estancia lodges, cuz the $$.

 

[Jacob Watrous]

Central/South America for Golden Dorado.

PM me for where/how you can send the check to me.

 

[Smalma]

I'm with Salmo g. - Argentine for sea-run browns! But guess I'll have to do with bull trout on my home waters!

Seychelles, because... Seychelles. Not sure if $10K is enough, but it's at least close....

 

[SKYKO]

Bristol Bay, enlist Gsmolt for giant rainbows and whatever else is swimming thru depending on your timing.

 

[albula]

6 weeks in Norway.

 

[Rob Allen]

10 grand huh? I'd book luxury accommodations for myself my wife and 4 other friends for the month of July somewhere in South West Montana. Exotic? no but relaxing and some fine fishing. and putting the money into communities I care about.

 

[Nick Clayton]

10k would buy me an awful lot of gas for an awful lot of the local fishing I love to do.

That said, to answer the question as posed, Seychelles, if it could be done for 10k.

Playa Larga, Cuba to spread the wealth with my new friends.

I'm assuming Kamchatka is out?

Seriously though, I'd probably go somewhere in Baja (or further South) where there's decent fishing for stuff that pulls hard plus a cool town for wifey and kid to hang when I'm fishing and for me to hang with them once my fishing day is over. Wifey and I had a blast in Zihuatanejo (sp?) area way back when....I'm sure I could find some place to fish around there.

 

[Long_Rod_Silvers]

Cosmoledo would be my first pick, but I think it's close to 2x that.
Second pick would be Kamchatka. The price is right.


Or I'd save it an put it toward my bucket list trip (renting a bigger boat and fishing my way up the coast from WA to Alaska end of summer thru fall).

 

[Breck]

Taimen in Mongolia.

 

[Hobbyranch]

Fly in Alaskan Lodge adventure with my son, always been a dream of mine..

No particular order.
Albacore

Bet I could bundle that for 10k easy.

Hate to say it, but in the vein of Curt Gowdy and Hemingway I would seriously like to catch an 800lb marlin on gear.

As it is, I'm going further in to the darkside this spring to try and catch a Shovel nosed sturgeon on a fly....for free.

 

[Matt B]

Hmmm. I think I’d either:
-Launch a self guided mission for sheefish in Alaska
-Guided week for golden dorado, maybe in Bolivia
-Australian saltwater. Maybe marlin on the flats?
-Giant tarpon somewhere interesting

 

[Jerry Daschofsky]

I'd go to a couple places in Scotland and Ireland

You'd have a hard time doing that for ten grand.

I caught a 10.5 foot sturgeon on gear...2.5 hours later not sure who was in more pain...
