What Are Your Expectations?

I set the mark at 20+lbs, or it isn't a successful trip...

My goals when I set out are alway the same...To first find fish...My overall goals are to strive for consistancy! I want to catch fish everytime out and expect to do so..Thats just my attitude towards it..Confidence is the main goal, if I dont feel that I will just stay home

I agree with both of you here. It just happens that you get skunked a fair amount of times and is a part of many fishing trips. Just have to learn from days like these.

Here's what I expect, and I'm rarely disappointed:
I expect to enjoy some fresh air and clear my mind.
I expect to learn something new or at least see something new.
The fish are a gift, I don't expect gifts. Large of small I'm happy, but they are icing on the cake.,

Thats why I enjoy fishing with you Fred!

I'm just looking to have fun and love surfcasting at night, amazing how many stars you can see and it's really relaxing. That being said I'm always hoping to catch a cow, but not dissapointed if I don't.

WOW! Sounds like I can hear another ball breaking!

...Read them all ... Jake/Fred pretty much sums in up for me too .. No hissy fit if I don't catch what I want .. Still consider it time well spent even if its a skunk ..

I'm with this too, and adding any day on the boat is a day I feel happy about, at long as something doesn't break.

i always expect to get the maximum of each trip- catch fish (does'nt always happen) , swim pluggage, enjoy where i am, and of course company of my fishing buds.....
