Goals for this season?
Other than the blatantly obvious " I want to catch a 50 etc." what is your personal goal to accomplish this season? If you don't have one you should think about it. It gives you something to look forward to and start making a game plan for now while you get fired up to get after it.
My goal is to get up for a visit with the wife and have Slingah get me into some boat fish on the North river and to catch a pig on one of Bigfish's plugs from the beach....

Right on BBJ. I dig your avatar, I have a picture of my wife standing next to the same bones while they were still a bit ripe. (She's holding a nice fish and her breath at the same time)

I guess given George's post and having fished up here with him and his wife Tracey before, one great goal would be to do that again! Hope you make it up! (I'll build yer plugs fer ya.....but it ain't gonna be easy!) 
I would like my first 40 pound plus and I want it on my wood!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Goals this season
To stick to my plan (unlike the past few years)
And do some neglected projects around my house (gutting one of my bathrooms now)
Instead of saying the hell with it, it can wait
and spending every possible minute on the water !  |

Taking my Dad on our fist tuna trip with Jeff Smith this summer, and go large on BI with DZ.
My main goal is to fish Eels and then put a Custom plug in the fishes mouth so I can get free plugs.

I would like to get a keeper from the surf during the may/june period, and a nice size one in the fall from the surf as well. I would also like to retain more information and apply it better as I make the same errors more than I would like to admit.

=========================================
this guy up north was explaining to me.... something that made sense.
he said people are willing to spend around $25,000 bucks on rebuilding a bathroom
these days because you spend allot more time in there than you think.... often times naked....so why not
be as comfortable as possible in there and have it as nice as you really want it.
that might be beyond your budget but the concept is right on.  |

Lovetwofish, when you want to catch albies on fly give me a call. We have millions of them in the 10-20 pound range here in the summer and offer a "catch them until you say uncle guarantee or no charge" policy here. You'll literally hate them before the day is over. |

Just to be able to get out there and do this thing we do is my goal. I believe in keeping it simple.  |

The one goal of several will be to effectively use sluggos similar in technique and results as "Van Staal Steve".

Just moved, new territory to play with so my primary goal is to fish 3-4 days a week.
Finally keep a log.
First albie
Breaking 40 would be sweet, but definitly a reach for me considering I'm fising forign territory, rebreaking 30 may be a more realistic goal.

My goals:
-Make myself expand in fishing techniques. I don't want to just fish one way(Topwater) but habbits are hard to break  . JIG BABY!
-Break my PB. I have done it the last two years in a row. But that was not hard to do since my PB was 28#'s. Wanna break 35.
-Meet new fisherman
-Find a few ways to break the off season. Freshwater fishing. |
