2013 Resolution

[papajoe222]

Mine has to be getting my grandson his first smallie. He turnes five today and I can't think of a better goal than to see his face while that fish is jumping. I didn't catch my first until I was thirteen, been hooked since.

Just gonna try to get out more. I fished less this past year than I have in a long time. Between being busy at work and then getting hurt, I don't think I fished more than 30 days this year.

EDIT: Also, not going to limit myself to just bass fishing. I catch musky and walleye on accident while bass fishing. With any luck, If I target musky and walleye, I'll catch more bass.

Hmmmmm, so if I adopt your method, and target smaller, less desirable fish, then I will catch larger, and more desirable fish. So simple, and I've been making it so complicated.

As good as 2011 was, 2012 was unusually poor. Between the heat/drought and the lake management (who killed all the weeds in my favorite lake), I was rather disappointed. My resolution is (or would be, if I could control the weather) to have modest temperatures, average rainfall, and no more &^%&$ chemicals in the lake.

Besides this, I hope to actually catch a bass on a dropshot.

Get a boat and win some local tournaments.

[prjavelin]

find the money to get anything that floats.

im at 8 bass for the year, I want to reach 10 and for next year, with a boat will be easier, get this years goal of 100 bass. Hopefully I do it.

[South FLA]

Catch a 7lb Smallmouth bass (Pressure is on Dwight!)

Snook fish more often

Fish a tournament either as Coangler for FLW, or participant on BFL

Fish more often, lol

Learn to drive the Bullet past 80 without scaring the ____ out of myself and the passengers.

Fish more. I had a good year -- heck, I even went bone fishing in the Turks and Caicos in August -- but I missed a few weekends and I always regret not going out every chance I get.

My resolution is actually two-fold. I would like to become more proficient at finding deep fish on my humminbird units, and learning to use spoons to catch them.

[ChiCityBasser]

One of my goals for 2013 is to put some keepers on the board at my FLW BFL events. Finish in the Top 3 at one of my ABA events and the top 5 in at least 2 events. Ok and win one event also..

I also need to stop beating the banks and start fishing where I can't see the bottom. I will have to start leaving the frog rods at home first and I am sure that will be more difficult than to stop smoking.

[SirSnookalot]

Keep doing what I'm doing. For me, nothing beats snook, tarpon and jack crevelles, I apologize to any species I omitted by accident (Permit).

[Jigfishn10]

Dear Santa,

For 2013, all I want is a big fat bank account and a skinny body.

PS.

Please don't mix that up like you did last year!

[tugsandpulls]

my resoultion is to spend more time with the wife and kids less time fishing haaaaaa got you all joking

[Silas]

Just got a new small Tracker this summer and I need to learn how to use the Lowrance "cheapo" depth finder that came on it.

Not used to using electronics.....many years ago actually had an expensive paper graph......loved that thing, but rarely used it.

But been years.....now I have to look for drop offs in my small bayous. Found a few and the jerkbait fishing has been great.

Second thing is learn a little more about using jerkbaits.....especially the Pointers and Vision 110's.

[B@ssCrzy]

I had a great year this year compared to previous years. Caught my PB LM. Built confidence in the carolina rig and shakey head. I hope that this coming year I can learn to catch fish on a jig. Tried several times this year and was unable to do it.

[mikey5string]

6lb bass.

get better with cranks and jigs. specifically punching and football jigs. Get some portable electronics so I can get a better idea of the bottom.

Maybe a little more patience to try drop shotting more often.

LESS buying new plastics.

[Curved]

A citation of anything.

Catch a new PB smallie. Against all odds I've caught 3 now that were 5 exactly. Very respectable fish considering our state record is under 7 pounds. I hooked one last year that probably would have gone 6 and now that I live half an hour closer to one of the best smallie lakes in the state I feel I have a good shot at doing it.
