1. Learn to pattern better - Generally, I can find a few fish to bite what I'm throwing but catching limits are few and far between.

2. Learn to resevoir fish - until recently, most of my fishing has been on 500 acre or less lakes. With the recent addition of a 17.5 ft bass tracker, I want to explore bigger waters.

3. Deep structure fishing - I typically target visible structure i.e. grass flats, timber, shoreline trees, etc. I'd like to a) find deep structure and figure out how to pull fish on 'em!

4. Find the schools - I also like to striper fish and the mythical spaghetti on the graph is something I've only seen once. I'd like to figure how to find the schooling fish more frequently.

5. Football head jig - I'm in the same boat as some of you guys on that one! Shakey head, no problem but jigs just aren't producing for me like they aught!

6. Water conditions - goes along with patterning a bit but mainly a) muddy water and shallow flats (3 ft or less) on windy days. Both of those stump me.

My main goal is just to get out fishing more often.Good luck to all of you this season.

1. Become proficient casting with either hand for several types of casts.

2. Give the swimbaits a try for more than a few minutes and really learn when and where I should be using them.

3.  Learn something new every time I hit the water.

1/ Really learn to read the conditions that are thrown my way. Try to develop a game plan based on that.

2/ Let the fish tell me what to do. Try and get away from throwing my favorites alot of the time.

3/ Fish SLOWER! (easier said than done on windy shield lakes.)

4/ Master certain techniques When, Where, Why to use them. (i.e. swimbaits, flippin'/pitchin, carolina rigging)

5/ Obviously new PB

To get my first 10lb + fish.  I believe it will come on the jig or swimbait.

Learn the basics of bass fishing!

My main goal is just to get out fishing more often.Good luck to all of you this season.

This.^ My goal is to fish more this year than I did last year, and enjoy it more. Also to introduce my adopted grandson to fishing.
