Azores, Portugal
Are you looking to break some records and become a legendary angler? If so, you’re going to want to add the Azores archipelago of Portugal to your bucket list. The Azores is a place anglers go to catch more species of fish in one location than just about anywhere else–and in the midst of incredible volcanoes, no less!
Christmas Island
No, you won’t find a ton of Christmas trees on this Australian island. Instead, you’ll find tons of exotic species of fish and, depending on the time of year you visit, millions of red crabs looking for a mate! Stay in the luxurious Ikari House any time of year to enjoy great weather, hard-packed sand, and unbeatable fishing.
Orkney Islands, Scotland
You want to go saltwater fishing but you also can’t resist a great freshwater catch of salmon, trout, or bass. When you head to the Orkney Islands on the coast of Scotland, you don’t have to choose! Spend your mornings fishing the Atlantic and your afternoons fishing nearby lochs and rivers in Europe’s self-proclaimed playground.
Prince Edward Island, Canada
Nothing like a trip up north, eh? Take a trip to Prince Edward Island and keep your eyes peeled for the world’s largest bluefin tuna, weighing a showstopping 1,496 pounds. Prince Edward Island is one of the great fly fishing locations of North America and you won’t want to miss it.
Malindi, Kenya
Have you ever heard of a billfish fantasy slam? This refers to one angler catching five of the six species of billfish all in one day, something you can actually accomplish in the waters off of Malindi, Kenya. The best part is that Malindi is a great fishing location for the dead of North American winter, as their summer season takes off in January.
