steve barrett Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Guys this is finally my year to go fishing .Been busy with new fishing guys in the family.Had a wonderfull time with my new boat. Ordered a new lund with a short transom.Got a 9.9 motor from gerrit and waited .Guess what I got. A new lund with a 20 inch transom. Not mutch good with short motor. Well s--t hit the fan at lund but they didn't help mutch except change the plates. I finally sold the short shaft and bought another 9.9 Long shaft through Craig's list. Twice the money.But that's life . I got out only once this year .Come spring watch out this old fart will be burning out the nylon and fireline .Them old brookies dont stand a chance once I arrive. All I can say is all the best for the new year and good fishing. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike slayer Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 you dont exactly need a new years resolution or have to stick with it. more of what are you short term(one year) fishing goals. and good to hear barbless get out and often you need to make up for 2008!

Leecher Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Mine is simply to get out there as much as I can..... last year was one of the best softwater & hard water season as far as fish quantity.... not the biggest but a lot of them That being said, wouldn't mind hooking into some big eyes or channel cats Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Get out as often as I can and enjoy every minute of it. Learn a few new things. Fish new water. Introduce a couple more kids to the fun in fishing. Keeping it simple, and keeping it fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huey graphite Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm determined to get out more this year. In 2008 only got my boat on the water twice and fished neither time. In order to do so will mean a change in employers and that should happen any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike slayer Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 great goals guys! nobody has a plan to catch a pb or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radnine Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Get out as often as I can and enjoy every minute of it. Learn a few new things. Fish new water. Introduce a couple more kids to the fun in fishing. Keeping it simple, and keeping it fun. I couln't have said it much better myself. Fishing last year (and 1st year as a boat owner) helped me to get to know my brothers-in-law better, patch up a bit of a rift with an old friend, and give my son another reason to look forward to hanging out with his old man. I have got four cottages booked for next summer and am praying for the winds to lay down a bit more on Erie. In other words I am looking forward to a great softwater season. And, as Biggy said, learning a few things. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCTFisher9120 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I was the luckyiest 16 year old i think this year. I managed to catch 5 new species and gather up 6 PB's...Fishing a grand total of 83 days this year i was again very lucky and fortunate. So my years resolution is to catch a PB largemouth bass...not a pb bass for a certain lake(i had 3 of those) but a all around PB! With new gear and inspitation i am ready and determined to catch the big one! Wish me luck everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
