If you fish in Perth at the right time of year, you will certainly catch a Samsonfish that is at least 50lbs...but the charter is about $250 per person per day.

If you fish off Kona at the right time of year, you will certainly catch a common dolphinfish (dorado, mahimahi) that is at least 20lb...and if you fish at least 4 days, you have a realistic chance of catching a yellowfin tuna that is at least 50lbs...but the charter is at least $500 per day.

If you fish at Cabo San Luca at the right time of year, you will certainly catch a roosterfish that is at least 30lbs or a marlin that is at least 70lbs...but the charters is at least $400 per day.

Thailand fishing is pretty cheap actually...you could go fishing for a day for about $200-300 per day, but the flight cost about $1300 on the low end.

But then again, people spend $5000 to go salmon fishing in British Columbia for a week...which I still can't understand why...for that price, I can fish for a week TWICE in Cabo San Luca in an all inclusive resort with 4 days of fishing...and you catch roosterfish, yellowfin tuna, mahimahi, striped marlin, Pacific sailfish...etc that are much bigger than the usual 20-35lb chinook salmon caught at Queen Charlotte Islands...

Awesome thanks!

Right now I'm 15 so maybe in the future those will be some destinations. Right now I go fishing to places that are within a 15 min bike ride or wherever my parents can take me. But I still manage to go fishing about everyday and am lucky that I have a decently diverse area with lots o different species. I just have to find some honey holes that can produce a jackpot (most likely carp or trout). My search continues haha.

I did manage to catch a 7 inch Creek Chub today which was pretty awesome but I've got lots of improving to do.

Thanks again,
