Are you going to change your focus this year?

Won't change much this season. I kept two small fish last year that weren't going to make it everything else went back.

One thing I'll continue to try to do is avoid catching the really small fish which seem to be around in good numbers this year. The little ones always seem to get torn up pretty good and I never feel good about the damage done to them.

As usual may keep 1 bass this year (maybe not). Will concentrate on careful release, keep them in the water etc. If I do get a large fish will quickly put it on a wooden ruler (lays straight), snap photo, measure girth and revive her well before I release her. MSBA and Falmouth Fisherman both have Catch, Photograph and release tournaments. If I get into only small fish will not stay on them too long (or switch to bigger lures). Will target blues versus schoolies (and even release blues carefully too).
