08 goals
 

I scouted two spots so far that i want to fish hard this year. Other goals are to fish every wednesday night (new work schedule gives me thursdays off), gain confidence in darters and bucktails.

what I mean by "the otherside" is fishing for striper from a boat...I am not switching teams....happily married ( to a woman)...

I have seen the "marriage" thing used as a cover before......hiding in marriage as a surfcaster and then.......he comes out of the tackle box....a boat fisherman!:huh: Frankly....I am scared!:err:

Oh man a hair cut, I don't take to change well

Beat my personal best of 43#s, ideally break the 50 mark. Catch an albie or bonito on the fly.

same as every year, have fun and fish with friends

I'd like to learn, have fun, be prepared, be early, I'd like to get the girls and Candi on some fluke if possible

catch fish on all my plugs,
catch a 30#+ fish
get atleast 10 keapers
catch atleast 3 fish on jiggs

Spend more time fishing with my eleven year old son.:angel:

If I could only get my 11 year old to fish!!

55+ and more friends on the boat, or maybe more friends that want to get up and go fishing at 0330.

Catch a whole mess of bluefish!


And a 3lb + pickerel at my favorite lake.

Catch a big white perch.

good luck with the perch unless you go to ACK.

To have alot of fun, learn alot, not get hurt, and hopefuly catch a pig on one of my plugs. I also want to take my wife, sister, and friend surfcasting for the first time and put them on some fish.

Not get divorced.

Enjoy as much time on the beach and with the sun, besides that, being in the dark of night with a 100lb Brown shark....ahh serenity now.

My goal is to get the grass in the front yard to fill in all the cracks that formed due to rain run-offs...:mad: I newly seeded late last fall and I got more veins in the front yard than I care to mention. Gonna be a tough one with such a high pitch -

Fish - Wise = I still can't fish like I used to, but with another possilbe push of large fish this year, I'm going to make myself available to them. :)


....and get another job that doesn't involve being on call ////...:bsod:

almost frorgot my #1 goal of 2008...
Catch More, Fish Less

I like the idea of keeping a trip log. Makes for interesting winter reading. And, I need to fish more this year....

Have you tried putting that straw material (it rolls out like carpet) down over the seeds? My friend had a new home built and the front yard sloped towards the street. When they first seeded, the seeds all washed down the street after the first rain. Then the builder re-seeded and put the straw stuff on top and it held the seed pretty well. It also helps keep the moisture on the seeds. The stuff decays into the lawn over time and dissapears. You can probably pick it up at any garden center or Lowes/HD.

I'll definately have to look into that - thanks

It's been these monsoons we've been having last fall & recently. Do you think the rivers of rain will ride over this "carpet"?

Man I hope it works - once it fills in, I should be ok.


Thanks again -

My biggest goal is enjoy every second I am able to spend on the water and not take anything for granted. Other than that I'm looking forward to fishing with my friends and family. As far as poundage goes I'm happy with catching anything that fights me. This year is going to my first with eels. I've heard they catch big fish:hee: Not going away with the plugs though because they keep me moving and my ADD makes waiting for fish to bite bait very painful.

No problem. I think it will definitely help. It worked wonders for my friends lawn. Here is a link that shows what the straw mat does.

I'm sure somewhere local sells the same thing or another brand. Good luck with the lawn. I love spring because of the fishing, but I hate the yardwork and landscaping that goes along with it.:crying:

break 25lbs in the canal :tooth:
spend more time fishing with my friends
take an albie or bonito on the fly with the guidance of my good friend capecodkid :wave:
learn new jigging spots
pilgrimage to mecca :angel:

Attempt to get the finicky albies and bonito to consitently take my offerring.

Well I'm still winding down from my other season of skiing. My goal was to get 30 days in and I'm up to 21 with this weekend and maybe one more I think I'll hit 25.

As far as fishing.

Break #30 from the shore. I was getting close by the end of last year.

Do more with the fly rod. Getting a keeper would be great.

Fish with a few members from this site.

Explore more of the North Shore which is some what new for me.

Get to Cuttyhunk. It's time.

Fish with my Dad as much as I can
Get a 30# from shore
Get a 40#from the boat
Fish Cuttyhunk
Get a weakfish
Put more time into the fly rod

This year I plan on taking the time to fish with some old friend and make a few new ones.

Catching is great, but my best memories involve people.
