To keep healthy and physical, fish when I want to, and fish the spots when I want to

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

Rookie mistake.
Nov 16th, season over, remember the wife, all's good, then POW, the 9 month rule gets you.
Next time fish even more, that way the wife is so mad at you nothing happens before Feb/Mar and it all works out better.

Fish more plugs and rigged eels.
Fish smarter.
Get to block more.
Target some bigger fish.
Fish as much as I did last year.
Have fun and enjoy feeding the addiction.

I hope to get my son on his first striper in 2011, either from the boat or shore. Other than that, I'd like to build on what I did in 2010 and get better, while still having fun. I'm also looking forward to getting out on a lot of Yak Rats Scrambles and fishing more with the people I fished with in 2010 and adding more people to the list.

More attention to the bucktail is always a goal, and I always ignore it... always...

back to basics
Forget about the politics of striper fishing and just enjoy the fishing.....maybe hook up with a striper cup(OTW) team and see if I can make a difference..........

Ditto. Maybe we'll actually land our sword this year.
Maybe get Aidan to reel in a scup this summer.
My non-aspiration is listening to Nebe and RIJimmy whine while suffering from fluke fever. Unfortunately I gave it to both of them.

I hope that my boat is in good shape all summer and not out of commission all of July like last year.
I hope the fishing around the Elizabeth Islands is better than last year.
I am hoping to boat my first BFT.
Getting a new PB striper would be great too.

The early part of the season I’m going to be training for a half iron man that takes place in July so my fishing time is going to be somewhat limited. I’m going to really focus on trying to pick and choose my trips (instead of just fishing whenever I can) early in the year to make the most of the most of the limited time I will have to fish. Aside from that I want to get back out to Fishers and Cutty and make my first surf trip to Block.
Get my dad out in the boat more this year and get him into some big fish.
Maybe try to get some bigger fish this year I plugs I spent most of last year throwing rigged and live eels and will continue to do so most trips but have been accumulating some nice big wood plugs I would like to throw more often.
I have a couple new spots I want to spend some time exploring as well.

Needles work almost as well, I barley used eels last year. Go for it Mike, it's fun and hassle free!

I have no aspirations to fish at all this year. Plan on spending more time at the beach and chasing girls while I still can 
Wish me luck...
