The Most Exotic Bass Fishing Locations
Hey Guys,
I was thinking about my next trip and wondering if you had some suggestions for truely exotic, adventurous, strange, interesting, unique bass fishing locations around the world. So just suggest a few locations or share some stories.
A few of my favorite trips
1. Shikoku, Japan
This area has thousands of lakes in a very small area. I flew over there with a backpack full of lures, 2 piece rods, a folding bike and printed google maps. I biked all around the area for 3 weeks covering 10-30 bodies of water every day. It was off the chain!!!

2. The Canals of Southern Florida.
Just rented a car and had some maps, jumped fences, hid in bushes, caught peacock bass and largies while dodging cops, security, dead chickens from Santeria, and gators. 2 weeks of pure fishing awesome

I read about Cuba in the book "Sow Belly". The way the writer described it, could be right up your alley.

I have a dream to fish Lake Biwa. I want to climb Fuji-san at night to watch the sunrise and then fish Biwa the next day.

I fished Lake Biwa with captain G throwing big baits at night, it was a fun experience for sure. We didn't catch any monsters but def fun and adventurous. That lake would be fun with a boat...Tokugawa wrote:I have a dream to fish Lake Biwa. I want to climb Fuji-san at night to watch the sunrise and then fish Biwa the next day.

If you are looking for adventure and some monster bass,Zimbabwe is worth a shot.

A few years ago i looked this trip up and it sounded awesome! it was expensive though. . . I think
I went to thailand and malaysia that year instead for the snakehead. They were filming a national geographic fishing show out at one of the spots we were at. That dude Jean Francois Helias was even out there too.

Re: The Most Exotic Bass Fishing Locations
Biwa, Clear Lake, El sato, Cuba, and my own back yard Okeechobee/Toho. All at night from dusk to dawn and all with big baits looking for one big memorable bite. Not sure I can fish Clear Lake at night legally so I may need a blacked out boat without lights and go stealth or dress like a Navy Seal and fish the banks unnoticed. One rod, one reel and a few big baits and roll the dice for some mind blowing experience. I'm pretty sure the shoreline commando night style will be needed in Cuba.
