2007 Goals

[Squibby17]

Overall I would say I had my best year ever! I fished more than I had before and beat my PB twice. I moved to a new area and was able to consistantly catch fish, and through trial and error I found at least 3 spots where I know what time of tide and wind is good.

I wanted to break the # 30 mark from shore, I got a 42+" fish that I didn't weigh but would definitely say was over 25 lbs. I wanted to use my fly rod more and was stoked to get my first and second Albie on the fly down on the vineyard. I also helped my girlfriend catch her first keeper a nice 33' fish.

The only thing I would say I regret is that I caught all my best bass by myself. I enjoy fishing alone, but wish I could have shared some of my better nights with a fishing companion.

I'm going to Rhody this weekend for the first time for one last fishing assault mission, so perhaps that 30# is waiting for me

Still looking for my first 40lb (plug) fish of the year (or last year also for that matter)....but I've had plenty of fun doing it.

Ditto.

I also figured out and learned a bunch of new stuff this year. Never too old or experienced to learn some thing new. Oh yeah I finally got my first Albie too this year. Thanks George, it was a pleasure.

My original Goal was to just have a safe, productive enjoyable season, Little did I know it would be the season of my life! Personally I reached the holy grail landing a 50lber and a 60lber in a span of 4 days, not to many in that club! It was just the best fishing year of my life, Dont really have any goals now but to just enjoy each season as it comes and fish my way! works for me anyway! so cheers to 2007 I will never forget it! No it wasnt cold in june, the reason for the gloves was that my hands were complete Hamburger! I loved it!

Here is another shot of the fish!

That is a awesome fish #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&!

I caught a striper on the fly rod in the kayak both goals for me this year.Also caught my first striper on a eel new this year to me another goal.Fished a allnighter again first for me with no sucess deffanetly gonna do that more next year.Caought my biggest bluefish ever not really a goal but still cool.Overall a pretty good year would have liked a big cow but im onley 35 and hopefully have many more years to go.Met a lotta of very nice and helpful people this year.And I still have a month to go.

i had a personal goal just to get out more after trying to plan a wedding last year. i also wanted to try and be more self guided in choices and techniques.

i feel like i accomplished those goals. i was forced to find new spots due to poor productivity in old ones. this payed off and i had about 3 weeks of fishing that shattered last years personal bests.

hopefully a sucessful weekend trip to bi will cap off a positive season. next years goals: fish harder in may/ june and august/ september; also catch fish over 40#; use more eels.

Wanted to break 30#'s. Came close with one at 29lbs in the spring. Wanted to catch a 40" on the fly. Didn't meet that goal either.
