Thank you Jim, I will do my best to get down there for a couple of days!

We moved our fishing trip to Thursday, so now I have to wait an extra day!

BTW $6.500 for nine days???????????? wowwww just come with me to Colombia and get me some beer and I'll take you fishing for nothing. I usually go with a local fisherman who I know about 10 years ago and I pay him $40.000 pesos or $20 bucks for a complete day in his boat, plus I get him some beer and I get the lunch for everyone. At the end of the day, I'll spend around $50 USD

let' see: 9 days fishing will be $450 for fishing in a boat everyday including lunch and beer. Hotel and food for 9 days.....let's say $500 if you don't want to go fancy or $800 if you do, total: $950 - $1250...


Thinking about it...I can create a fishing guide company, taking people to Colombia for peacock bass! let's say $3.000!!! I also have fished in the Colombian Amazon jungle....$4.500 for that one, there is so many threads around, everything can kill you!

I'll think about it...fishing guide company.....quitting my job.....go fishing everyday...yep...why not?


Interesting. LOL.

My price was everything. Plane, vaccinations, tips, guides, drink, you name it. That was entire expense.

I am up for Adventure, but if I went to Colombia I would need to add life insurance to the trip. smile

Well I achieved one of my dreams today! Picked up 5 all on flies I tied myself in a half day! And my wife caught one on spinning gear! My biggest fish went just under 5lbs, but I had a bigger one break me off in some logs. Still a fantastic day.

I am still smiling from the trip. I didn't get to chase any bonefish or do any saltwater fishing but while snorkeling we did see a very tame pod of them that let me get right up close with the gopro! I'll try and post the video when I get home tomorrow.
