I've always been a pretty fair shallow water fisherman.Of course,I'll continue to fish shallow,but I'm going to continue to try and become proficient as a deep water angler.I've been working on this from late Summer into Winter.I've learned a lot about it from being on this forum,and hopefully I can continue to learn.I'm much better at it than I was last year at this time.I'll try to do the things I do best and work on all of the new techniques I've learned.

I'm hoping to fish with Ball_Coach_1 enough this year that I will learn how to fish a C-rig and some other deep water tactics.

I WILL set a new PB in 2006.  >

Wow, I've got a long list, but I name a few of my tops.

1.  Deep water (This is number one on my musts)

2.  Jigs, been working on this but need some more work.

3.  Carolina rig, I think I would rather take a beating than throw this, but I have to.  So I've got to get                         better at it.

4.  Stick with spots I know hold fish and be more patient.

5.  Finish first in my Club.  

I can't wait for my club season to start.  5 weeks to kickoff!!

I am starting over, I bought a boat so everything is going to be new to me. I will be able to fish new waters I have never fished before, we will see how the year turns out.

Swimbaits & Soft Plastics. I have confidence in swimbaits but can't throw them for too long. I want to commit more time to swimbaits. I have very little confidence in soft plastics right now so that has to change.

I am going to continue fishing for deep smallmouths(15-25 ft.) and take my daughter with me fishing as many times as she wants to.
