I'm 63. I am in my 45th year of striper fishing. I want to catch a striper that weighs my age.

No boat, back in the suds.

Put the first boat fish on Team S-B's leaderboard.

I want to actually fish rigged eels. I need to get to block more than 3 times like this past year. Im going to try and make a few trips during the summer. Also, need to get my arse up to the north shore this year with JackK. And finally not release a couple fish that would help out team S-B in the cup. And one that ive been trying for a number of years, catch a friggin weakfish.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Looking for that 1st 40 this year...Be it boat or shore, don't care.

Flounder fishing from the yak as well

Yak Cutty in June.

Get down to a few Scrambles and try and host one up these parts too...

Want to do a lot of Ice Fishing this year.....just need to get rid of these 50 degree days.

also want to go on my 1st real Nantucket Sleigh Ride

I'm contemplating a year without eels...

It's not the bait

It's the fishing hole

funny you should say this, BB!
i was thinking of doing the same~~

then i woke up.
i did, however fish more riggies than eeeeels last year.
which will prolly make me go back to more elvers this coming migration!

score a Monthly prize from The Cup.

land sumthin' at the Ditch instead of just hook them.

break 50 from the surf, then 60, then 80!!! same as every year!

make it to either Cutty or The Block.

learn GBERRY and the SShore rivers like the back of my hand.

fish with some of the surfratz i met last year and fish more times with my SoCo bretheren.

put my daughter on her first linesider.

stay healthy, wealthy, and hopefully wiser.

Not to fish around my free time but fish around tide, moon time of year. Get a beach sticker for my truck and learn some new spots. Get a kayak and fish with some new people.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

Although, I'm going to try to get out with my son more as he's getting old enough to get off the dock and into the suds.

My best shot.......but it won't be easy.........

1.To improve my bait fishing C&R mortality to 02=/-% while striper fishing the big ditch.........In other words to hook and line bait fish but to do so with zero hooking mortality.......
2. Do not lose my temper with ignorant , arrogant sportfishing folks who look down there noise at my bait fishing practices..........
3. Do not lob large, cannonball shaped rocks at the heads of above mentioned same arrogant sportfishing folk who I catch stealing lobsters from my ditch lobster traps............

I aspire to regain some of the ambition that I have lost the past 2 seasons. Also to do some fishing out of the kayak.

Sounds like some congratulations are in order. It is a lot of fun, and worth it though trying at times. I'd do it again of I was your age. In the meantime I'll just keep practicing.
