To get into shape.
I found out 2 things in the last year.

1. I LOVE walking/fishing the outer cape beaches
2. I am WAY out of shape... and it sucks for me to do it come the end of the day.

So between that, and the doctors generally yelling at me recently to lose some weight... this is the time... this is the year.. tonight is the last hurrah.. the healthy food is in the fridge.. and im ready to lose..

Goal is 300lbs by June (Im 350 now) lofty expectations, but at least 20 of this is sympathy weight from the baby - eat right and it will fly off..


Outside of that, just to have a better year than last year, and given my lack of any real fish (barely went due to the pregnancy) - it wont be hard.

Use my boat a little more. Like Slingah, fish a little smarter not harder. Last year I fished from Maine to RI. So many areas and lots of techniques. This year I want to concentrate on a couple particular areas and learn them before I move on.
Also try and fish a little with the fly rod.

Fish the Canal more.
Get into better shape.
Get a better job.

Fish as much as possible.
Take advantage of bait (pogies) which have been on the increase the last few years.
Fish with eels more often.

Lose 10 more pounds (that'll be the 40).
Quit smoking (for real), starting a day early, so we'll see how it goes.
Put boat in the water.
Go fishing with John (for once), instead of drinking and talking about fishing like we always seem to do.
Spend more time fishing with my dad and brother (instead of seperately).
OK gotta go do some chores, then off to work.
Stay safe everybody.
Lata,
Rick

Leave the laptop at work and work less at home.

Fish with eels more.

Fish Ma north shore more.

Fish Block Island.

Fish on the cape outer beaches more.

Go on a charter for Stripers with my friends around the elizabeths.

Read more fishing books.

With all of this I should be able to catch more fish.

To cut back on my fishing. It is taking up too much of my time. My goal is to cut back to no more than 4X per week. It will be difficult but with the help of my family and friends I might just make it.
