My goals when I set out are alway the same...To first find fish...My overall goals are to strive for consistancy! I want to catch fish everytime out and expect to do so..Thats just my attitude towards it..Confidence is the main goal, if I dont feel that I will just stay home

I agree with both of you here. It just happens that you get skunked a fair amount of times and is a part of many fishing trips. Just have to learn from days like these.

Here's what I expect, and I'm rarely disappointed:
I expect to enjoy some fresh air and clear my mind.
I expect to learn something new or at least see something new.
The fish are a gift, I don't expect gifts. Large of small I'm happy, but they are icing on the cake.,

I'm just looking to have fun and love surfcasting at night, amazing how many stars you can see and it's really relaxing. That being said I'm always hoping to catch a cow, but not dissapointed if I don't.

main goal is to enjoy myself and learn something new every trip.
from late april through june, I'm primarily looking for quantity and hoping for quality. in my experience in the places I fish, this is the time to concentrate on figuring out where they are and trying to put together a plan for when the big girls arrive up here.
from july through october, using what I learned in april and june along with past seasons , i'm looking for quality and willing to suffer skunkings to get it.

...Read them all ... Jake/Fred pretty much sums in up for me too .. No hissy fit if I don't catch what I want .. Still consider it time well spent even if its a skunk .. |

I'm with this too, and adding any day on the boat is a day I feel happy about, at long as something doesn't break. |

Depends on the times I'm out OTW...
If I happen to have the time/energy to be out at a "good", meaning "a productive" time I'll look for large. Most of the time I'll make the effort to fish my spots at the optimum times.
Often I can only get out when time/schedule allows....may normally be a lousy time of day, bad tide with respect to location etc...then I'll just fish to enjoy being out and take what comes and be happy just to be out.
That being said, I never target anything but large.
