Thats a tough one.. Probably falcon pre spawn/spawn

lake geurero(sp)

Amazon for peacock basses !!

X2
Or Fool's dock ...lol

Falcon

If you want good fishing, pretty scenery and possibly a place to bring the family the Amistad. Fished there a few yrs back and its beautiful with clear water, huge rock cliffs, house boats to rent and awsome fishing; would be a awsome trip anytime of yr.

:rolleyes: I didn't say it...

Hydro

I can't say I blame yall. Bass are tick tick here :D

and so is the a** in the summer:smokin:

Falcon in February or June. Both have been good months for me.

You are very much correct on that one.

venice, january.

damn... i figured we'd have more responses than this. everyone should have contributed in some way

I would say for freshwater the amazon for peacock bass

for saltwater big lake running around drinking beer and potlicking w.

i would say mexico but you really don't want to be down there right now.

Peacock bass are on the bucket list for me.

I would like somewhere within driving distance of BR. (so we can use OUR boat and find the fish on our own.. thats part of the fun)

fwiw, you can catch peacock bass in Miami

:withstupid:

dang kade you calling me stupid homie i thought we were better than that.

yeah I know but I'd like to go out of the country for different scenery...

Pretty beaches with good looking women...to rocks, dirt, and people you dont understand. Lol!


But in all seriousness, I would like to go peacock bass fishing in mexico..they got some hawgs..

You mean in venezuela/brazil right? Lots of fine women over der podna. I would hit up the amazon then go to aruba for the women/beach.

well you can always go to sherburne in krotz springs. You can catch lots of bass in there. You won't see much over 3lbs, but you can catch 40-60 a day with about a dozen keepers. Camp by the game wardens place and the launch is right there. We've did it before. Real fun for the family

;)

I was thinking the dirty hills of mexico. Brazil=south america

Someone correct me if I am wrong,but peacock bass are not native to mexico.

native to the amazon. I posted something from wiki but it messed all up

Man I could have sworn theys was in mexico! Yep yall right. I had an iron man moment

My grandparents lived in brazil for several years and my grandpaw would catch peacock bass almost daily. Got a distant cousin that still lives there,gotta make a trip one day.

i fish the basin regularly. Have a camp on Belle River... im trying to do something "different"

thanks for your recommendation.. just replied so others wouldn't point me in the same direction im used to

any of yall know how much a peacock bass trip would cost? that along with a Cabo bill fishing trip is in my future

If you want a change of pace go to table rock lake in missouri. Fished it numerous times,the small mouth bass fishing is awesome in the fall!

For a week it is 5-6 grand plus airfare.

its so beautiful up there... place is awesome. ive been on the lake but never fished it.. id imagine that haul through the ozarks would be hell with a boat.


5 or 6 grand? damn. probably to stay in some ****ty *** lodge too. I wish that was one of those things I could do on my own... just dont think its very safe down there... if i went, it would strictly topwater

whoops.. no cussing. MY BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. (im not used to that lol)

My dad has pulled a 20 foot skeeter there a few times back in the dad,was not too bad. Smallmouth are a blast to catch. A few years ago we caught over 30 fishing a rock drop off where the water would drop from 10 foot to 60 foot. Chunking zara spooks you could watch them come out the deep water a smoke the spook. Would be cheaper to rent a boat with the price of gas these days.

Well, if you have never fished much in north Louisiana I would recommend D'arbonne Lake in Feb/March for bass, or lmid March/early April for bass and big white perch. Probably top 5 white perch lakes in the state. Probably top 5 bass as well. Its a huge lake with many little bayous and creeks to go play around in. 40 feet deep in the main channels of the lake, to 20 ft channels in the creeks, very scenic as well. The state park rents very nice cabins for very reasonable prices, and there is a lighted pier as well, fun for the family. If you don't like to pole fish for white perch, you can set out some yo-yos and you will have plenty by morning. Lake is full of every kind of fish and big fish and not difficult to catch. There was a 15 or 16 lb bass caught out of there a few years ago. Buddy caught a 10 this summer fishing a tournament.

DO NOT GO TO CANEY LAKE IT IS A HUGE GARHOLE:eek:

D'arbonne is a great lake fished up there for 10 plus years. Was my grandfathers home water so i have a bunch of honey holes..

Awesome during the late fall/winter also, big fish

wow.. he pulled a boat down there? DAMN. that must have been one helluva trip!

tryin to go outside of Louisiana. Will probably be me n dad... maybe mom. and a few of our buddies. Probably 3-4 boats. no kids. lots of partying going on

I never really bass fished till I lived in north la cause I had to get my fix somehow. My pb out of Caney is a 7.5. Never fished d'arbonne but I have seen some icechests full and some pics from there Lake Monticello in Arkansas holds some monsters. I caught a 9.5 lber and I know of 8 other people that caught fish at least that big. A couple over 12 too

This X 100....But for fishing only...Not a family vacation...Sight fishing bedding females is the nutz....I went there with my biggest being 5lb7oz and we didn't even target fish that small...We caught smaller fish 3-5lbs in the morning before the sun came over the trees for vision and after the sun set to keep for fresh fish to eat and caught 7-9lber throwbacks all day for the camera! Nothing like setting the hook on those big females....It's different, but fun....

My son and some buds leaving for Falcon today, spooled up with 30 lb.braid, 7 1/2 ft rods with heavy action, wants to hang a double digit bucketmouth in the camp at Toledo. Anyone have past experience down there this time of year?

another family friendly place is Lake Claiborne located in North Louisiana. Pretty hills, tons of deer, and gorgeous lake. Never got to fish it, but worked there for a few weeks last year in the dead of winter. Snowed a few times and the lake was icy along every bank with icycles (sp?) every where. Pretty water in the lake too

I don't know how good the fishing still is ,But Natchez state park used to be a great place to spend a week. Nice cabins on the lake . trophy lake that has / had a slot that would make you cry. You would have to throw back 7 lb fish. I have my first over 7 on the wall from there and it was 3/8" over the slot. 7.46 lbs.
haven't fished there since my pops passed away as that was our place to go.
