Super User bigbill Posted April 4, 2014 Super User Posted April 4, 2014 What are your goals in bass fishing this year? Mine are to learn more different lures and there presentations. Fish more with jigs. Fish more with Carolina rigs. Fish more with larger spinnerbaits. Fish with drop shots. Use the split shot rig more often. I need to park the crankbaits and fish more with different lures and presentations. I'm stuck in a rut because the crankbaits catch fish so I'm using blinders on the other lures that work too. I've used the other lures but I'm focused on the cranks too much lately. My goals Use more plastics. Break the state record of 12#14oz. I've been so close and had two record breakers on my line but lost them. I have the better quality rods now with the correct action and backbone. I'm ready equipment wise. I know the bigger bass are there. Just breaking the record won't prove what I say about the bigger trophy bass being in every state. If I don't break it I'd like to see some little guy or gal do it with there batman or Barbie fishing combo. Overall I want to see the record smashed this season. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted April 4, 2014 Super User Posted April 4, 2014 1. Get good fishing with jigs and spinnerbaits 2. To catch more and bigger fish than last year 3. Win the "biggest bass pool" that my buddies and I started Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted April 4, 2014 Global Moderator Posted April 4, 2014 Catch a smallmouth Make better decisions from the back of the boat during tournaments Learn to fish the drop shot Get enough confidence to enter a So Open in 2015 Get enough confidence to enter a Rayovac Series event in 2015 Mike Quote
frantzracing0 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 My main goal for bass fishing is to learn to identify structure better, especially in deeper water. I have always bank fished and FINALLY got my first boat. So I have no idea what to look for from a boaters perspective. My other goal this year is to catch my PB muskie. But its more specific than that, it MUST come from the susquehanna. Right now my PB stands at 47 inches. Caught from shore about 5 miles from my house. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 1) have fun... 2) enjoy life... 3) catch a crap load of quality bass in the process of doing 1 & 2... oh I plan to work on flukes and punching this year... Mitch Quote
stk Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 01. Personal goal to catch 250 fish this year. 02. Go fishing with lots of people. (sounds kind of promiscuous, lol). 03. Fish with crank baits more. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted April 4, 2014 Super User Posted April 4, 2014 Getting stronger every day. I can fish almost fish six hours now.

fish365 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 to be more shiftless and fish more than i do now , if that's possible Quote
reb67 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I read a lot, watched all of Glenn's videos and got a lot of advice from the great guys on this sight over the winter. Now my goal is to put what I have learn to the test and hopefully out fish my friend who has been bass fishing for over 25 years. He seems to stuck in a one pattern fishing style from season to season very reluctant to try anything different Second goal is to fish 1 or 2 tournaments this year.. Quote
skeeter1980 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 My number one goal for this year,is mastering a baitcaster.I just got back into fishing last July,since being away from the sport since the late 80's.These small ponds in Delaware,get fished so much.I don't work anymore,so i'd love to take one pond,and learn it.I mean the big hawgs,got to go somewhere.

jhoffman Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 1: slow down 2: spend a little more time driving on the weekends. I live very close to a decent size lake, its easy to wake up and just go there but I live within an hour of probably several hundred places to bass fish. I want to go back to spending more time on the river. I wanna fish the pad choked lake just north of here more. Quote
Clint C. Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Learn fishing from a boat and breaking down a lake to the best potential locations on a given day. Quote
NWBassGuy Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Fish slower, fish more days, and get a double digit bass Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 6, 2014 Super User Posted April 6, 2014 learn ^This is goal.^ I have no actually goals in mind, I do know that I will be fishing a good 340 days this year. Anyone fishing that much is going to have something good happen, the percentages are on my side. I just want catch big fish but that's really a hope and not a goal, I have no control of what is swimming around when I'm fishing. Actually size and records are meaningless to me, I don't even carry a scale. All I want is my rod doubled in half and tons of drag being pulled out. Quote
CDMeyer Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 My goals are the following 1. Win State SAF High school tournament 2. Qualify for Nationals in SAF 3. Place in Money in League Tournaments consistently 4. Win League Tournament 5..... HONOR GOD AND HAVE FUN WITH FAMILY!!!!! Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 6, 2014 Super User Posted April 6, 2014 Same as always : Don't drown Don't sink the boat Don't break anything expensive Fish as much as I can with my kids The catching will take care of itself..... It always does. 3 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Win the high school bass fishing state championship and advance to nationals Quote
