I want to get into a daily, if I can, routine of walking. Even if only 20 mins. a day.

Be encouraging, not discouraging

Use plugs and other artificials more. I plan to use at least one needle, swimmer or darter at least once per trip for a good amount of time. Fish more in a wet suit.

I have the same problem of getting up early.I have about a 80 percent chance of going out at 10 pm an lasting till 5 or 6..
It's starting to really kick my butt though.
I have about a 30 percent chance of getting up at 3:30 to fish that last part of the darkness...Not a morning person.
Each dawn I die.
I also have to agree if u ask me the best time to fish for large fish is the last 2 hrs prior to sun up..
Just the opposite of you with the plugs.I plan on using eels more this year..
Not really a resolution, it's just something I have been planing on as soon as I stop fishing(still Blackfishing)
I'm going to quit smoking myself any day now..
I have been gearing myself up for it for a while now this time I plan on making it stick..I had it beat last spring but I opened up the door with one smoke.I should have known better.I quit drinking 13 yrs ago this April..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

I plan to keep a log book and track migrations better. I missed some good nights this fall, but the nights that were on, were awesome. I want to fly fish more and get more confidence in that arena as well.

I would love to get to Cutty and maybe Montauk at some point...

Im going to stop stressing out at work. Its not worth it. And take steps for a career move. And do the striper cup this year. This was a bad year not to sign up.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I lost my printing job this year and now I have an opportunity to go back to school to become a LPN. The Program is one full year and I dont think I'll have a lot of free time plus it's 60 miles away.
It was a real gift to have free time for fishing this summer and I took full advantage. Following Fish-addict up and down SC wore my spikes down to nothing : ) but they are ready and waiting for next season every chance I get.
So I guess my resolution is to give it hell for 2009 and get my LPN license. Fishing will be more of a reward but I would like to do more fishing at first light when I can. Watching the sun rise over the water stays with you during the day and makes you feel more productive too.

still by the firelight
and purple moonlight
I hear the rusted river's call
