5 Of The Best Fishing Destinations

  • December 8, 2017
  • admin

Are you bored of your usual fishing destination and fancy taking your hobby to the next level? If the answer is yes, then you have come to the right place. Fishing is a remarkable activity to get involved with; it can encourage you to travel all around the globe, exploring a wide variety of cultures, species, and waters. So, without further ado, here are some of the top fishing destinations around the world!

Amazon Basin, Brazil

For all you brave and adventurous anglers, this trip is certainly the one for you. If you head to Manaus, the capital of Amazonia, and embark on a tour that offers piranha fishing. Yes, you heard that right, piranhas! These feisty creatures can be found in fairly large quantities at the Amazon basin, but it takes knowledge and skill to be able to catch one. Their razor sharp teeth can cut through steel hooks… not to mention fingers. You’ll be needing sturdy fishing reels by Total Fishing Tackle for this one. This destination certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted… or the weak.

Congo River Basin

Another destination for the adrenaline seekers. The Congo is home to the goliath tigerfish – Africa’s alternative to those wonderful piranhas. Think of the goliath tigerfish like a moody teenager; snappy, unpredictable… somewhat terrifying! This fish isn’t the easiest one to catch, so expect long days and a whole lot of patience. However, once you see sight of one of these predators, it’ll all be worth it. After all, fishing is all about the chase!

Umba River, Russia

Russia’s Kola Peninsula is a winter land of dreams for the most part of the year. However, head there in May and you will be in luck. From the month of May through to October, you can cast your reel and catch some of the most succulent salmon on earth. Watch out though… the bears might beat you to it!

The Bahamas

The Bahamas are home to many extraordinary species. If you are a fan of competition when it comes to fishing, then it’s time you booked a ticket here. Each year, some of the worlds best fishermen try their absolute hardest to get the prize-winning catch and set a world record. Just a few of the species you can find in The Bahamas include mahi-mahi, tuna, and marlin.

Sicily

If you want to get familiar with some old fishing techniques, then Sicily is the place for you. This area is swarming with fishing villages, known for catching mainly tuna and swordfish. In terms of old techniques, the island of Sicily is renowned for spear-fishing, which every passionate angler should try. If you’ve never done it before, then don’t expect much luck, but the experience is just as worthwhile.

It is important to ensure that you are fully equipped for your next fishing trip, especially if you plan on fishing in waters that you have never experienced before. Having durable equipment is a must when it comes to this; the last thing you want is a broken rod after travelling so far for this once in a lifetime experience.
