Triton20x3pro Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 1.) My main goal is to become more effective in my pre-fishing. 2.) Become more efficient on tournament days 3.) Better boat organization - Sometimes the boat looks like a bomb has gone off by the end of the day! Quote

Super User J Francho Posted January 21, 2009 Super User Posted January 21, 2009 After spending about 200 days on the water in '08, it's really more about fine tuning and streamlining my approach to all fishing. Here's my list for '09: 1. Build my own rods. 2. Improve my club tourney results. 3. Fine tune what I've learned this past year. 4. Develop a couple of new techniques. 5. Fish new waters. Quote
srv1990 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Simple for me: 1. Fish more with my kids (they love it and I need to do it more) 2. Learn drop shotting Tom Quote
little_stephen Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Good Topic! MY goals are fairly simple. 1. Learn to fish a zara spook. 2. Start fishing the right lure choices for the conditions instead of running straight to my goto lures (horny toads & buzzbaits) 3. Explore @ least 2 new lakes in my area (not as easy as it sounds when you dont have a boat!) 4. Catch a bass off a jig. 5. Learn to fish Shad Patterns. 6. Catch More Fish! 7. Take the friends from work who Ive got thinking about going bass fishing with me! That seems like alot I know, but over the winter so far I've been doing my homework. I've read and re-read, and again re-read all of my Bassmaster, InFishermen, & Bassin' Magazines. Ivee been hard 2 work reading both of KVDs books. Ive learned alot, now its a mater of putting it to practice. Then there's the other two goals. These aren't really fishing goals but theyre important to me none the less. 1. Work hard so I can buy my cannoe. 2. Keep my stress levels down by going fishing twice a week(weather permiting). Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 21, 2009 Super User Posted January 21, 2009 This year is going to be all about locating bass. That's it. Quote

rippin_lips Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 1. Learn as much as possible a) reading my fish finder new lures c) new lakes 2) Catch more BIG bass 3) Have a great time with my dad and friends Lofty Goal: spend less on tackle (probably not going to happen) Quote
Eddie Munster Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 1. First and foremost: just fish if I have the time. Don't look at when is the best time (moon phase, weather, etc.....); just fish to enjoy the time on the lake. 2. Use the depth finder with a purpose and map my subdivision lake. Fish the structure instead of fishing the 'fish'. 3. Catch a DD LMB. 4. Take my nephew out fishing on my boat. Quote
