Hopefully I'll get a few nice ones close to the truck this season.

Got my waterproof camera case for x-mas... all set

Don't start on the tuna sandwich until all the gear is stowed away.

Travel lighter.

Be selfish and fish more, life is short, (just kidding).

Find someone who can wire up subliminal messages in my wife's pillows that quietly imbue her with thoughts of let Frank fish more, let Frank fish more, let Frank fish more.

And not feel guilty about when you do go fishing.

Not have as much patience with the nut purposely casting metal at you!!!!

I learned that there is way more to learn than I thought I knew. There are so many ways to trick bass and the reality is I will never know them all and never be an "authority" on the subject. Therefore humility shall be my guide.

I learned that I should wear a helmet and body armor if I'm fishing the Canal across from Slipknot

One of these days, he'll probably do it with the line still attached to his jig

I learned that I need to hit the pipe slower in order to get all the crack smoke.

Seriously though the two main things I learned is I need to put in even more time and to explore new areas.

You mean in 06.I learned you need to check for nicks in the leader everytime you catch a fish.I lost a nice one due to the nick in the leader.it happened a few times.now I learned my lesson.

i learned that when i prepare to go fishing i always do much better. checking the wind speed, tide, and moon, all before i go out. it helped me locate way more fish.

also doing alot of recon along the beach at low tide, and marking on the beach whereever i saw holes, and cuts, then comming back and fishing them when they were covered. usually every little pothole held a fish, when they were in the area.

When fishing Montauk, do not fish up front or in Turtle Cove during the fall run...much better to take a long walk deep on the south side (after dark...sort of like a commando!!)

1. I learned how to swim with waders on. Twice.

2. Water can be deeper than it appears.

[vineyardblues]

Sounds dumb, but I am going to say it any how.
Fish a sinking needle on the beach, fish a floating needle on the rocks.
Ok I said it
Maybe someone else will not learn the hard way like I did so many times
