Goals 2007

[Deitz Dittrich]

Ok, so last year we had a post on goals. Some of us went with a counter to see how many fish we could catch, some of us set goals with how big a fish or the number of times we went got out fishing. Some of us set our goals to learn a new technique...

So, lets hear it! What are your goals this season?

I'll start.

I had a good time last year with my little clicker. I am going to keep track again. I was no where near my goal last year of 1000 bass(I only caught just short of 700 for the season) but I was not disapointed, I just didn't get the concept of how many fish caught was 1000... Size wise I was very happy as well as I caught big fish. And I also was able to get a lot of friends out fishing too...

This year as I said. I am going to keep track of number again, just for myself. Its a fun stat. I also want to keep track of what I caught them on. It will take more time, but might be worth it? I hope to do well in tournaments this year. I am fishing the USA bass series with Bullwinkle from this web page.. and my goal is to win 1 of the 5 tournaments. I also want to fish with my friends, And get as many signed Dollars as I possibly can(my bet with people in my boat for big fish on the day)...

Alrighty boys.. what are your goals for the 2007 season?

New technique (or in my case still learning from last year) Catching fish on jigs and Texas rigs. I'm having a devil of a time figuring it out but I'm going to keep trying until I get it.

mine would be to get better at deep water fishing(as drop shot, and weedlines,I fish them for a time then it starts my flippin stick calls me and then i go to the slop,Ithink i should just take one rod a hand full of hooks, weights, and worms and just work a weedline for a few days until i get it down. any help would great thanks.

[Cooter]

Catch the pig I saw last year.

[Dan Brelje]

i have way too many...

-get on the Water A LOT

-get the FUN LEAGUE started successfully

-Work on fishing slop/shallow

[Ralph Wiggum]

1) Take more advantage of time I could be on the water.

2) Fish more with my fiance.

3) Fish more with my dad.

4) Get better at fishing deeper

5) Gain more knowledge about locating fish myself.

I need my kids out in the boat with more often this year. I did a lousy job of that last year.

[TNFL]

1) have more fun, which for me means less competition. Although I generally strive under stress, I'd rather just relax more.

2) bring the kids and wife fishing more and help them become better fishers.

3)The deep weedline texas rig stuff. I'm changing home lakes this year hopefully it helps.

[Superduty]

My primary goal is to keep my 5 year old interested in fishing. He did pretty well last year. You'd be surprised how many bass will hit a little purple senko under a bobber!

My big fish goal is a bonafide MN 6 pounder.

As far as tournaments go, I am fishing midwest sportsman again this year and my goal is to be around the right fish each tournament to win. If I can do that, winning one or more is a possibility and I should have a good shot at angler of the year.

[bassNspear]

my goal this year is to beat dietz in a one-on-one heads up flipping for bass baby!!!!!!!!!

[ducksnbucks]

Two goals:

1) Get some confidence in a jig & pig

2) Drop shot more than I did last year

I catch lots of bass fishing for fun and in tourny's but not with these techniques. I need to use them and get some confidence to use them in my tourny's.

[Fishing_High]

I would like to catch one over 4lbs and i want to get better with topwater lures

[ocf1]

Well i really need to learn how to fish a jig, and i also need to find what this whole dropshot thing is about

[st.crioxfishin]

- Get more confidence in using crankbaits

- Be angler of the year for my fed. club, being a couple pounds short of it last year still hurts.

- Fish swimbaits for the first time

[East Rush Rules]

continue learning the structure on my local lakes, catch a MN 6 lb'er, meet DERICK REMITZ my fellow east rush fisherman who is on FIRE and find out how to catch more fish in the dog days of summer. After about the second week in July, i just cant seem to put it together!

[Central Bassman]

I'm going to try cranking alot more this summer and i really want to get that down to a T. Drop shot is something i want to try but its so hard for me to not use a Shaky Head instead.

[Bullwinkle]

This year my primary goal is to run a successful tournament series for USA Bassin. It will be the first year that we have run a series here in MN and I am really looking at getting it right!! Fun yet competitive!! If people are interested, do a google search for USA Bassin and look at the MN division. Hey Deitz, saw one of your goals was to win at least 1 of the 5 ... rumor has it that you have predicted a sweep . That brings me to goal number 2, beat Deitz in at least one of the tournaments . As far as learning techniques I would like to do some swim bait fishing and fish the deeper jigs more successfully.

Hey- a guy has to have confidence!!!! No, I am not predicting a sweep.. but I wouldnt mind going away with the points champ..

[Wayne Ek]

Make it thru another season of guiding without doing hook removal on me or a client.

[lookincalifornia]

go on line less and on the water more

Speaking of points champ, do I smell Nationals for you in September on Lake Douglas, Tennessee? I hope to go but we'll see what the boss or shall I say my wife has to say about it.

[Ole the Guide]

I'll throw in my $.02 worth on this.

I want to learn how to figure out and read my new Lowrance depth finder!! Plus learn more about fishing deep.

Ole
