Milestones, Firsts And Personal Bests For 06'?
So another season is coming fast.....given any thought to what you wish to accomplish this season? Are there any milestones you wish to achieve? New personal bests you hope to set? Anything you have not done or caught yet but wish to give it a go? Places you want to fish for the first time? 
What say you my fishermen brethren?  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Last year the goal was 35# and I got that, this year we'll go for 40#
But I'll be happy if I just learn more and catch more, I know that size will come.

I would like to catch more consistently this year. I got a 36 pounder last year, but the rest of the season was sporadic.

Just have more fun than last year. I never put weights and lengths for goals anymore those days are gone for me. It's all about having fun. Going to do more fluke fishing and more beach fishing and hopefully with some of you's guy's. Paul

I want to catch my first over 40 pounds......and I want it on my wood!
Catching a football tuna might be a nice challenge.
I would also like to try fishing a few "dream" spots......Montauk, Block Island!

Ok I have a few that are doable I hope:
1. Striper over 50#
2. Fish Nomans more and get Sandmans fluke and seabass before he gets there. 
3. Get out with my son more as he has more time now working on the water. 
4. Last but far from least is get my dad out with me to Cuttyhunk and Nashawena as he is now 86 and fishing with your dad should come before all else right son? |

Post more, since I have been lurking here forever. Definitely fish more and with less live bait. I've been picking up some decent plugs and hope to master these a little better so I can be less concerned about whether the clams I just bought were packed in a 150 degree warehouse 3 years ago. More fun, too.

I'm gonna be happy to just go fishing.
Catch some Pike on my plugs
Catch some trout on my flies
Catch some Stripers on my plugs
Catch some Steelhead, well probably on eggs in this case

Doesnt work that way.. tried it.. she had fun but didnt 'get' it...
As far as goals... just to keep fishing as much as I can w/o screwing up on the job, my research and woman......
My goal every year is a 15lb tog... actually it's 17.6lbs to beat the old mans record, but I'll take a 15 for now....
as far as bass... to keep catchin em... 50 is what everybody says, but really I dont care, just keep catching good bass, enjoy it and keep learnin....

I keep finding that my time on the water has gotten less and less...so my goal is to go as much as I can but more importantly not to take even one second of that precious time for granted!!!!

Be careful what you wish for...
Just imagine, a dark night all is quiet except the pounding of the surf. The spray is in your face and it its a perfect 68 degree night.....The fish aren't cooperating, but you don't care, just being out here is what its about anyways.......Then from the still dark it comes.....
"Your Awfully Quiet Tonight"
"Is Something Bothering You"
"You Seem Distant"
"Did I Do Something"
"We Haven't Talked Much Lately"
And so on...and so on...and so on

To make better decisions, applying what I have been able to learn and discern from others and my own experiences, which will hopefully lead to catching on a more consistent basis.

40 #'er.
More importantly I would like to learn some new haunts. I want to get to a place where I can fish 2 maybe 3 different locations in a night and expect to find fish in each based on the tides.

Survive the 1000 mile journey to Maine(with wife and kids) and then spend time at the beach catching (and releasing) stripers. 40" on a plug would be a pipe dream...............

Spend more time fishing with everybody from the boards!
Work less...
Fish more.
Later,
