Quebec fisherman looking for vacation in the US

[JulienRoy]

Hey!

My name is Julien, I am currently looking for a vacation spot in the U.S. in order to go bass fishing. As you probably know, bass fishing can be very expensive when you don't know where to look / don't have a boat, and this is basicaly where I am at right now.

First of all, I am looking for a vacation from 1st of april to the 8th of april aproximatly, I might get to my location by car or plane, depending on what is available. (I can't move these dates)

I need to know where to find the information on what is legal/illegal for fishing in various states, and if I need a special permit since I am canadian, is there a federal site available for this?

I do not have a boat, I don't necesserely want to rent a bass boat or a great boat, I simply need something to go aroud on the water, see me as a "back-pack" fisherman.

Everything I have looked at thus far from lake okachobee to georgia's small lakes is quite overpriced (from my point of view). I am looking for something that can go under 1,5k for a week (including plane/car trip), the less expensive / quality the better, including lodging, eating. If the location offers a bit of villegiature or other activities, they are a plus but not a must, as I will be going alone.

Now this might be unorthodox, but if some one would be ready to recieve me at their home, it might end up being alot less expensive. I am 25 year old, I am a guy, I am an auditor at an accounting firm and I can gladly send my Curriculum and some information that will let you verify this, you can feel very secure that this isn't any form of scam and I am ready to go lenghty ways in order to prove that I am in fact honest and not dangerous, of course this would have to go both ways to some extent.

This is basicaly where I stand, I find it hard to find information on the internet with the ongroing advertisments. Any type of point of view, on where to go, how to do it etc... are welcome, I am not acustom to the U.S. waters. I will glady give french courses to any one who helps me or recieves me!

Also, if any one wants information on Quebec fishing, from bass/trout to musky/pike I will gladly help, we have great ice fishing location in the winter and some of the greatest musky lakes in the world for summer fishing!


Hopefuly I did not transgress any forum rules!

Thank you for your time and good luck fishing!

Salut Julien!

I'm in Virginia, which is in the southeastern US. I'm not in a position to provide lodging, but I can direct you to some good fishing in my area that will be MUCH cheaper than Georgia and Florida. Let me do some looking and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
