Goals and expectations for '07
 
What are your goals and expectations for 2007 from the boat? I want to break 300 tuna for total fish caught (268 this past year) and want a giant that is truly a giant not just a marginal one. I also want to learn how to shark fish with great efficiency and land a mako. These might be reaches but what the hell. Last year was spectacular and I'd like to see the trend continue. What about you guys?

1. Land a tuna from MY boat.
2. Break 40lbs from MY boat.

Land first tuna from our boat. Put in a alot of time last year with nothing to show for it. I think one mistake we made was not getting out there earlier enough in the season.

Another 80 Hours on the engine, spend time and teach the kids how to fish for flounder. Land my first Striper on my own boat.

Catch the Tuna that Mike Lands on his boat :bl:

Keep the tank full.
Have good time
Keep the livewell full.
Have a good time.
Catch the biggest fish I possibly can.

Althought those are at the top, monster fluke, tog & seabass or any other bottem fish are always part of the agenda.

MrHunters 02-02-2007 08:31 AM

ill see your 80hrs and raise you 100

Just being on the water is it for me... catching fish is a bonus.

although its a hell of a big reason why i spend time on the water ;)

taJon 02-02-2007 08:34 AM

I'd like to get my first tuna and Mako

I'm in for a 100 hrs this season Hunters. Its gonna be tough deciding which boat to take.

Flaptail 02-02-2007 09:21 AM

Have fun, thats the most important thing I want to do.

fishermanjim 02-02-2007 09:57 AM

i wouldnt call that much of a problem

This will be my first season with my own boat. 21' Larson Sport Cruiser. My goals are to complete the basic nav course in the early spring as a brush up and refresher for my skills and knowledge.

Fishing wise anything I do from the boat this year will be a first so I want to make sure I don't set the bar to an unreachable and frustrating height. I will take every day as it comes, won't get greedy, and appreciate every second I'm on the water. Whatever comes with that (hopefully some nice fatties!) I will try to enjoy.

Bigcat 02-02-2007 01:22 PM

To have fun,and be safe:D

Goals and expectations for 07
 
More of the same for me, and most of all,
enjoying watching my 2 boys fish !
I think 9 year old Leo is going to crack the 30lb mark this year !
and 6 year old Matty, will fight and land his 1st keeper all on his own , while Leo nets it for him !

thefishingfreak 02-02-2007 10:30 PM

avoid the skunk

quick decision 02-03-2007 07:13 AM

I look forward to just getting out there and having fun. Of course putting some blood red pinstriping on my Sea Ray would be a bonus.

big jay 02-03-2007 07:52 AM

Getting my captain's license before the season begins.
Watching my kids catch their first bass (although my 3 yr old thinks he's catching a tuna).
More trips fishing for fun - not just running charters.
Go waaay east a few times.
Maybe even enter a tournament.

Hey Mike, Hopefully we can meet up sometime out there. I could use all the help I can get. I have to email your co-worker Mike as well.

Striper1 02-05-2007 05:03 PM

More night trips.
first tuna...
go east a bit more..

and with the new job I can keep the tank full now :bshake: :faga:

capecodder 02-09-2007 10:47 AM

Get out more than twice this summer. Spend some good time on the water with my 6 yr old and maybe his little sister (3). No ethanol issues....

Rockfish9 02-13-2007 07:57 AM

To make it home after each trip and enjoy the night, anything after that is a bonus.....

Fish On 02-14-2007 10:51 PM

268 tuna? Rec or commercial?

I'd like to catch my 2nd tuna. First was a blast!

Casey we'll get one next time!

keeperreaper 02-15-2007 10:29 PM

Recreational. I tagged a this year for UNH. A zillion small ones all over the place. I just hope the bait returns and the little ones grow up to be huge ones.
