Goals for this season? - Page 2 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Flaptail · 03-10-2008, 11:58 AM

Stay healthy and fish a lot and just have fun doing it.

I would like to fish up north with Rockfish9 and get Numby to come along. I always thought of anything north of Plymouth MA as the Artic regions.

Would be different ( And I will do the driving)

Write a book? nah

BigFish · 03-10-2008, 12:15 PM

You better plan on fishing with BigFish....ya big dope!

I'd buy yer book!

Last year was an amazing year but towards the end I was burnt out. This year fish my goal is to concentrate on quality fishing every time out, getting more bang for my buck. I'm going to do less tuna fishing and more bass fishing due to time constraints with a new one on the way and the job. I need to reteach myself to really enjoy the experience and not just the results again.

I scouted two spots so far that i want to fish hard this year. Other goals are to fish every wednesday night (new work schedule gives me thursdays off), gain confidence in darters and bucktails.

ThrowingTimber · 03-10-2008, 04:34 PM

I'd like to learn, have fun, be prepared, be early, I'd like to get the girls and Candi on some fluke if possible

Slingah · 03-11-2008, 06:15 AM

Catch More, Fish Less

Finaddict · 03-10-2008, 12:43 PM

Get down and fish with George - be it night snooking in the inlet or offshore ...

BigFish's Dannys would slay them.

My goal is to get up for a visit with the wife and have Slingah get me into some boat fish on the North river and to catch a pig on one of Bigfish's plugs from the beach....

Oh man a hair cut, I don't take to change well

BillyBlanks · 03-10-2008, 04:04 PM

Beat my personal best of 43#s, ideally break the 50 mark. Catch an albie or bonito on the fly.

jimmy z · 03-10-2008, 01:03 PM

And, to keep focused, and hopefully get a personal best. That's always in my plan.

ProfessorM · 03-10-2008, 04:06 PM

HookLine&Sinker · 03-10-2008, 05:05 PM

Monty · 03-10-2008, 05:16 PM

Spend more time fishing with my eleven year old son.

striperman36 · 03-10-2008, 05:20 PM

If I could only get my 11 year old to fish!!

55+ and more friends on the boat, or maybe more friends that want to get up and go fishing at 0330.

EricW · 03-10-2008, 05:53 PM

Catch a whole mess of bluefish!

And a 3lb + pickerel at my favorite lake.

Not get divorced.

patpatriot · 03-10-2008, 11:39 PM

Enjoy as much time on the beach and with the sun, besides that, being in the dark of night with a 100lb Brown shark....ahh serenity now.

bloocrab · 03-11-2008, 12:01 AM

My goal is to get the grass in the front yard to fill in all the cracks that formed due to rain run-offs...

I newly seeded late last fall and I got more veins in the front yard than I care to mention. Gonna be a tough one with such a high pitch -

Fish - Wise = I still can't fish like I used to, but with another possilbe push of large fish this year, I'm going to make myself available to them.

....and get another job that doesn't involve being on call ////...

Have you tried putting that straw material (it rolls out like carpet) down over the seeds? My friend had a new home built and the front yard sloped towards the street. When they first seeded, the seeds all washed down the street after the first rain. Then the builder re-seeded and put the straw stuff on top and it held the seed pretty well. It also helps keep the moisture on the seeds. The stuff decays into the lawn over time and dissapears. You can probably pick it up at any garden center or Lowes/HD.

bloocrab · 03-11-2008, 09:17 AM

I'll definately have to look into that - thanks

It's been these monsoons we've been having last fall & recently. Do you think the rivers of rain will ride over this "carpet"?

Man I hope it works - once it fills in, I should be ok.

Thanks again -

No problem. I think it will definitely help. It worked wonders for my friends lawn. Here is a link that shows what the straw mat does.

I'm sure somewhere local sells the same thing or another brand. Good luck with the lawn. I love spring because of the fishing, but I hate the yardwork and landscaping that goes along with it.

StriperFvr · 03-14-2008, 08:08 AM

Attempt to get the finicky albies and bonito to consitently take my offerring.

MarshCappa · 03-11-2008, 09:25 AM

My biggest goal is enjoy every second I am able to spend on the water and not take anything for granted. Other than that I'm looking forward to fishing with my friends and family. As far as poundage goes I'm happy with catching anything that fights me. This year is going to my first with eels. I've heard they catch big fish

Not going away with the plugs though because they keep me moving and my ADD makes waiting for fish to bite bait very painful.

Hooper · 03-11-2008, 07:12 AM

I like the idea of keeping a trip log. Makes for interesting winter reading. And, I need to fish more this year....

hyefisherman2 · 03-12-2008, 05:37 PM

break 25lbs in the canal

spend more time fishing with my friends
take an albie or bonito on the fly with the guidance of my good friend capecodkid

learn new jigging spots
pilgrimage to mecca

Surfpirate · 03-14-2008, 08:45 AM

This year I plan on taking the time to fish with some old friend and make a few new ones.

Catching is great, but my best memories involve people.
