my main goal this year was to stay local and learn the area better. that didn't happen because a spot that is further away than I usually like to go paid off big time when we tried it one night on a hunch. it was a spot that we fished a few times before and that looked really good but that never produced the size fish that it looked like it should. this year that changed in a big way. spent about two months there and searching the surrounding area (about a mile or two radius) - finding them for a night or two and then losing them and starting hunting again.
what did happen is that I had a ten times better season than I ever could have hoped for or set goals for. landed my PB on eels, finnish swimmers, needles and metal lips (all over 40 except the needle). crazy. i paid for it and was pretty much miserable and going on no sleep for two months - but it was worth it.
