Fishing Trips

Fishing trips have long been a favorite with travelers in the United States, and there are thousands of guided fishing trip possibilities all across the country. The Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United States present endless opportunities for anglers to get out on the water, and together with the myriad of inland American lakes and rivers, you have some of the best fishing in the world. Whether fishing trips for you involve heading far out to sea, or standing thigh-deep in an alpine river, that next big catch is just a breath away.

Anywhere there is water, there are generally fish, and there is plenty of water to be found throughout the United States. In the Midwest, the Great Lakes are ideal for charter fishing trips, and you can expect to catch anything from Salmon and Bass, to Coho and Perch in these 5 large bodies of fresh water. A guided fishing trip can add plenty of memorable moments to a vacation at one of Michigan’s famed “Beachtowns”, and a fun, weekend getaway in scenic Duluth, Minnesota can see you trolling the waters of Lake Superior for Walleye, Lake Trout and Chinook. Some guided fishing trip tours on the Great Lakes can also include trips on one of the many rivers that abound in the region. Great Lakes charter fishing adventures can be ideal for families, groups of friends, and even business parties. There are tons of licensed Great Lakes charter companies that can help you arrange fishing trips, and whether you are a pro, or just a beginner, you are sure to have a blast.

While sportfishing in the Great Lakes can be exciting, many people looking for big fishing thrills choose to go deep sea fishing. Florida is a popular deep sea fishing destination, and finding a fishing charter in the Sunshine State is as easy as you could want it to be. From Jacksonville on down to the Florida Keys, sport fishing is at a premium, and sailfish, barracuda, marlins and even sharks give anglers the sport fishing experience of a lifetime. Backcountry fishing is also popular in Florida, and in the Keys, Marathon Key and Islamorada are ideal places to fish for the powerful tarpon. If you haven’t tried spearfishing and are looking for a new fishing experience, Florida’s Dry Tortuga Islands is an excellent destination to consider. Further up the Atlantic Coast, states like Massachusetts are also ideal for deep sea fishing. Off Cape Cod, you can book a guided fishing trip with Striped Bass, Cod and Tuna being among the most prized catches. Other fish you can catch off the shores of Massachusetts, include Monkfish, Halibut and Bluefish.

Most fishermen will tell you that the thrill of a bass fishing trip is among the top joys an angler can have. Bass fishing is huge in the United States, and the Black Bass species is undoubtedly among the most sought-after game fish in the country. As bass fishing has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, the technology has grown with it. To make a bass fishing trip most ideal, you can find specialized bass fishing gear, including rods, fish-finders, and even boats. Whether you choose to filet your bass catch, or set it free, you will admire the species for the strong fight that they put up once hooked. The fact that bass can be found in all kinds of bodies of water across the United States means that there are plenty of choices for bass fishing trip destinations. The large state of Texas is always a good place to consider for a bass fishing trip, and people from all over the world come to the Lonestar State to participate in big time bass fishing competitions. You might choose to look for local bass fishing clubs and organizations at your destination of choice, as they can often provide valuable services and information.

Fishing in the Continental United States can surely provide any angler with an array of wonderful destinations, but if you are heading to Hawaii or Alaska, you can also interest yourself in a fishing trip. An Alaskan fly fishing trip is the dream of many a caster looking for a top notch experience. Fly fishing is definitely an art that takes some time to master, so if you are taking to the streams of Montana, which is a hugely popular fly fishing destination, you can often find guides who are willing to help you get your technique down pat. Alaska is both ideal for a fly fishing trip, or a more standard spin rod fishing adventure. Imagine hooking a fresh, Alaska Salmon, and then having it for dinner over an open fire. Arctic Char, Rainbow Trout and Grayling are some of the other species of fish that can be found in Alaska, and if you move south to states like Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, you can book a fly fishing trip that has Pike and Panfish as possible catches. Wherever you choose to plan your fishing trips, you might be interested to know that there are many fishing packages available that include accommodations, guides, meals and so much more. Head out alone, or with a group of friends to experience fishing trips in the U.S., and you can have a great time while enjoying the Great Outdoors.
