To buy another one!

I sold my 20' center console in May, want to move up to something in the 23-25' range.

Spend even more time on the boat

Get a pogie net

T-top for the boat

vs150 for boat use, and get rid of some of the other reels I don't use

bring home some tuna

guess I better get some heavier gear for that too.....

I have had a bad few years with wife health and then Big wave taking out the boat, I have a new to me 23 footer and I plan to spend every spare moment on it!

You are lucky. There are a TON of great deals on barely used boats that size.

My main goal will be to focus more on trolling wooden plugs.

Obviously catch large too.

Last year was my first boating season with my 16' Skiff. I basically caught good numbers of schoolies and no keepers. I tried many different techniques but never used live bait other than worms. My goal for the next season is to use live bait, ie: eels and pogies to go for the larger fish. I'm not giving up on the plugs and artificials but I want to expand my horizons. I'd also like to try some new launches on the Cape. Barnstable, Falmouth, and Chatham for sure.
