subject: The World's Greatest Places To Fish [print this page] Why not go a little bit bigger in your fishing trip this year and go international? Fishing is a great way to get out and reconnect with nature, and, depending on what sort of trip you are looking for, it can be both relaxing and intense. A fishing trip is also a great excuse to travel with your friends and experience someplace new. Why not travel to a whole different country, fish in a whole new ocean, river, or lake, and catch some fish you never have? An international fishing trip is nothing short of an adventure, and all you and your buddies need are United States passports.
Online passport agencies have taken what used to be a very stressful experience and turned it into one of convenience and security. Even if you need a fast passport renewal, these online sites know how to process your application fast so you can be on your way before you know it.
Once you have your passport, you have to decide where you want to go and many anglers set their sites on Australia. Islands naturally provide great opportunity to enjoy this sport and where Australia is concerned, Carns, Queensland is the place you need to visit. If you enjoy the battle of catching the big one, you might find yourself with that marlin you have always wanted to catch. Some consider this location to be the best "fishing hole" in the world.
The Christmas Islands are rich with fishing opportunities and are the reason many journey to this Central Pacific fishing area. Bonefish are abundant and many come to catch their fill but you can also lay into a trevally, billfish, tuna or wahoo so be ready and don't limit yourself. These islands provide the rare opportunity to avoid commercial fishing boats and tourists because the location is remote and secluded which is part of the reason the fishing is so unbelievably good.
Off our southern boarder, Mexico offer great fishing areas and we don't just mean the ocean or gulf. There are a number of rivers and lakes that beckon many to enjoy this sport, and one lake that is especially irresistible is Baccarac Lake. This body of water is 25 miles long and 5 miles wide and has produced many record breaking catches, one of which was the record bass. This fish weighed in at 19.10 pounds. Cabo San Lucas should also be considered as many records have also been established there.
Perhaps no where on earth will you have the opportunity to fish for exotic, unusual specimens as in the country of Venezuela. As the Amazon River cuts through South America, a rare opportunity is presented to fishermen. While the commonly known fish like bass are plentiful, there are also many unusual fish such as the giant catfish and the Amazon Pellona.
