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.

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

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

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.

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...

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.

Getting stronger every day.  I can fish almost fish six hours now.  Two more surgeries.....they say not biggies but they use knives!!!  I'm helpless and asleep.  Anyway...just looking to fish more and stronger.

Tight Lines

Start using crank baits more and catch a 5lb largemouth.  Got my 5lb smallmouth just need a largemouth now.

I have one simple to goal to consistently CATCH FISH

HAVE FUN !!!!!!!

- get better with a swim jig.

- fish deeper water

- use the wacky rig more

- and as always enjoy my days off that I spend on the water

Get good at fishing jigs, drop shot, shake head and flipping and pitching. Also want to do some squarebill fishing.

to be more shiftless and fish more than i do now , if that's possible

learn

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..

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.

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.

Learn fishing from a boat and breaking down a lake to the best potential locations on a given day.

Fish slower, fish more days, and get a double digit bass

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.

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!!!!!

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.

mastering a jig

fish more days with my kids

Win the high school bass fishing state championship and advance to nationals
