I'm in Chile at the moment, there is absolutely nothing here apart from freshwater fishing south in Patagonia thanks to the constant water temp. I'm here for the next 5-6 weeks. I'd be keen on joining you where ever depending on when and if you are interested...

i fly into columbia next
i fly into columbia next wednesday...for around 10 days then onto Peru & Brazil. I wont be in chile till after my antartica voyage which ends in i think the end of March. If your willing to head north (up my way) ill be keen to split costs etc etc but just struggling to find stuff!
I would be keen as to do a marlin charter to a " White Marlin" ticked off, but its not season. You would kind of figure there would be insane fishing around south america but sturggling to find.

Yeah, nothing here at all,
Yeah, nothing here at all, that's why I mentioned I'd join you wherever. I could easily snag a few days off work either side of the weekend and jump on a plane. The Amazon would be an experience!

Mate from the UK went on a River Plate bass trip
Reckoned it was super special but he apparently went well under-gunned and lost a hell of a lot more than he landed

peru or ecuador
Would be your best choices, also Colombia could cheap be an option, cheap diving as well.
