Skyway bridge piers Tampa Bay, Florida

Monterey Bay on the Central California Coast is my favorite fishing spot. During my enlisted days, we went on a platoon fishing trip. Half of the platoon had never been on an open sea boat so they were not fairing well, especially when I brought out the tuna sandwiches I had Cookie mix up for us.
We had three hooks per line and by the time the sinker took the line to the bottom and we would reel in three fish on the line. The boat's captain took us to several spots with the same results, different fish. The half fishing met the quota for everyone way early so we headed back to shore early.
Since we lived in the barracks there was no way to store the fish. We brought back some for the cooks to do with as they would and I had a dozen or so 2-4 pounders when fileted, of blue cod, red snapper, and sea and rock bass that I took to my pastor for the food program they had at the church.

Anywhere, there are 10 state parks and 3 rivers within an hour of my home. That's not counting the city parks and farm ponds

Stagecoach Lake near Steamboat Springs because everything that you catch there is big.

Best fishing spot for me had to be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba but not too far behind is Destin, Florida.

Kenai River. Alaska. Awesome sockeye fishing!

Pine Gully Park, Seabrook, TX.

My favorite is The Mora creek that runs into the Pecos river in Pecos New Mexico, I caught a 20 inch Brown trout there it was a great day fishing but its always a great day fishing.

Favorite fishing spot for 35 years is "below Ben's house" as we always call it. It's on Twin Lakes near Bridgeport, CA. Awesome views of the Sawtooth range, a creek that flows in nearby and a great log to stand or sit on. Sometimes we even catch a fish or two. Most successful cast? Not there, but nearby. Pulled a 2.75 lb rainbow out. If I told you where, it wouldn't be my secret honey hole then would it?

My favorite place for summer CATCHing is from Menemsha MA (on Martha's Vineyard) with captain Robin Robinson, on any one of the boat she captains. I was amazed to see her catch a black stripped seabass barehanded as it slowly swam almost on the surface just off the side of the boat on the open ocean! Loved it so much, I'm leaving my home state of Florida and moving to the nearby town/village? of Aquinnah permanently! Now I can fish either from her dock or out on the Atlantic in perfect weather. Every day there fishing and catching my dinner is going to be my new best day ever!
