2007 Goals

[Slingah]

I don't have many goals....if I never beat my personal best..thats okay..
I wanted to get a 35# + fish on a plug...I don't care about it anymore, I gave up after 3 years of trying...Ive gone back to eels...
I did get a aprox.30# on a pencil..that was enough...
I had my best local nite so far....lost count, all large..I guess that was my seasons highlight....
All in all a good but exausting year...alot of effort for not alot of results...typical.

my main goal this year was to stay local and learn the area better. that didn't happen because a spot that is further away than I usually like to go paid off big time when we tried it one night on a hunch. it was a spot that we fished a few times before and that looked really good but that never produced the size fish that it looked like it should. this year that changed in a big way. spent about two months there and searching the surrounding area (about a mile or two radius) - finding them for a night or two and then losing them and starting hunting again.

what did happen is that I had a ten times better season than I ever could have hoped for or set goals for. landed my PB on eels, finnish swimmers, needles and metal lips (all over 40 except the needle). crazy. i paid for it and was pretty much miserable and going on no sleep for two months - but it was worth it.

Found the boat!
Figured how to pay for boat, and ongoing expenses.
Spent many happy hours on the boat!
Got totally into livelining pogies, and scoring large!
Spent two fun weekends with the S-B boyz on Cuttyhunk.
Having a great fall back in the surf, and it's not over!

Of course goals around the house are on life support...

Also reminded by daughter #2 whom I took fishing with her boyfriend this year both caught. In troduced another to saltwater fishing. Had a great time. Jigging good to find out what the young man's made of. If he can jig for half a day he's alright with me.This was a second post don't really know what happened to the first, hope it comes up like to show the fam.

I didn't set any goals for 07 just wanted to fish as much as possible. Almost hit 50 and the day after I released this fish I thought maybe I should have mounted it. I'll keep at it till Thanksgiving.

Goals change, got the chance early to buy a boat. I been waiting for a long time. Found the 20' center console @ the right(cheap) price.
So goal # 1 fish as much as possible with son #2 (loves to fish almost as much as soccer or hockey), did that 36'+ fish off the Race, blue fish in the rain flat calm day in the bay with poppers and 10# test too many fish to count C&Red. Out fished by #2 jigging off the Race (not a goal) same rod, same reel, same color jig. He get's 4 over 38" Pops 0 fish. He loved it ,bragging rights. Fishing with the better half, done x 10. Blessing of the fleet with wife and daughter #1, great time. To me I can't care less the fish I get I have the best time when my wife or my kids or a friend(who doesn't usually fish) come from the "city" and hooks a big fish. I have the time of my life.

Goal for 2008 get boat in early and do it all over again. Also get to the back side in the fall for the run.
