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.

Reason: was a post before this and I don't see it.
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.
