swilly78 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I think its time to buy a boat, get away from constant shore fishing. Otherwise, have a great time and catch fish! Quote

Certified Public Angler Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 1) LMB over 5.0 2) try new lakes and learn to locate fish in new environments 3) learn jigs Quote
Olebiker Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I'm going to start fishing more than club tournaments this year, so I have to work on being more aware of how I am spending my time on the water. Like a lot of other folks, I am going to work on learning to fish a jig. Quote
-HAWK- Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 Any way to get this stickied? So as the year progresses we can track how people are doing with there goals. People can post up as they work on there goals. Quote
zbass Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 This may take more than a year, but no time like 09 to start. I'm gonna be the guy that no matter what lake, time of year, weather, lrg or sml mouth, everynoe else thinks, he's got a shot at winning today. The reason is that would mean I've managed my time well, put the patterns together, been versitile, been efficient and consistent. Not because I think I'm better than everyone. because I'm not! Many humbling days to my credit. :'( Quote

Super User Long Mike Posted December 20, 2008 Super User Posted December 20, 2008 My goals are lofty: Fish with Catt at least twice. Fish with Fishfordollars at least three times. Fish again with Muddy, Ghotti, Riskkid and Roadwarrior. Catch a few nice bass in the process. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted December 20, 2008 Super User Posted December 20, 2008 Fish with Long Mike,Ghotti,and Riskkid, Fish with LBH Fish withCATT and Fish for Dollars: This will probablly not happen until the next year. It will be hard fishing and taking notes at the same time . Quote

Finally put forth an effort to learn how to fish a jig 4. Be more consistent with my fish catching- Adapt better and fish smarter Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted December 21, 2008 Super User Posted December 21, 2008 Cranks. I want to get better with them in different scenarios. Plastics are also a big priority, and fortunately Dean has sent me a nice usps package loaded with them for Christmas. Lot's more reading to do this winter. Quote
