Golfito, Costa Rica, it has the great marlin fishing of Panama and the great sailfishing of CR... plus fantastic inshore for roosters and a like. (with my crew Sportfishing Golfito of course_

Next Mexico anywhere! But Isla (Billfisher)and Ixtapa (Sequestro de Amor) are my favs

Bermuda! Great Bonefishing and marlin, both on the large size. (Bones on my own and of James Robinson for offshore)

And the Good old Northeast on my own boat or the Billfisher

[N2theBlue]

1. Bermuda - Grander Blues
2. Great Barrier Reef - Grander Blacks
3. Puerto Vallarta - Cow tunas, blue and black marlin
4. Venice, LA for everything that swims but especially yellowfins and wahoos. Ideal Trip would be a 4 dayer....1 day yellowfins, 1 day wahoos, 1 day snapper and 1 day duck hunting in morning inshore for trout and redfish in the evening
5. Guatemala - Sailfish

San Diego, Cabo and Ocean City get honorable mentions for yellowfin, striped marlin and white marlin respectively

I'd like to go to (as angler/charterer):

Panama - Tropic Star for what looks like a fantastic all round fishery.

Galapagos - Sadly seems to be a bit of a dump on land but I'll grin and bear it to experience what seems to be the hottest striped marlin fishing in the world period. I'd like to spend a couple of days trying to hook one of those monster pacific bigeyes too.

Azores - May have to wait a while for things to happen here but that's the price you have to pay for the chance of raising a really big blue marlin. If I lived on your side of the atlantic Bermuda would be hugely tempting too just for the light tackle wahoo action alone.

Oregon Inlet - I'd really like to get some schooling in NC-style natural bait trolling. Plus, loads of pretty Carolina boats to ogle.

Canada - I prefer fishing in bare feet and a T-shirt but I'll pull on the waterproofs and deck boots just to see some of those giant bluefins.

Since I fish the Atlantic all the time, I would put on my bucket list:

Galapagos - fished there several times, each time better than the last - Capt. Starr is the best!!!

Marshall Islands -

New Zealand - Big stripeys

Indian Ocean - anywhere

Guatemala - find me some black, striped and blue marlins for a grand slam.

[Heli Sports]

Pemba Channel Kenya - Fantasy slam country!

Ghana - Huge fish!

New Zealand - Jumbo Striped Marlin, Swords, Makos, Bluefin Tuna (Northern & Southern)

Azores - Giant Bigeye Tuna, large variety of game species, large Blue Marlin

Antigonish/Port Hood Canada - Largest Bluefin Tuna in the world!

Im no Pino mind you. I dont drive around thinking I could be on a flight and fishing in 6 hours. He gets on my nerves with all the time he spends relaxin. I have been to a few places, I would love to actually buy a boat and ship it to my brothers house in Hawaii but if I had to pick for all around best time anywhere,.........Its Pirates Cove NC. I just love it there. If I do go back with a boat, even if its not mine. Im going to have a party at the Lone Cedar......dinner is on me! I want to bring my crew with me, TeddyP, Just Released34, Flicker.... AKA gonefishing2023, Go Navy, Perfectscore, Eddie spaghetti.
