Whats your plans for 2008!!

As we are getting closer the the 2008 season, just wanted to see what everyone is thinking of fishing this year?

Well for me personally I'm not much of a bass fisherman, but our cabin is on a lake that has shifted from a great northern and walleye lake to a great bass lake (this year's creel survey confirmed what I've known for a few years: northerns are now extremely difficult to catch and walleye are in fact impossible to catch). Every year though I catch 2-3 bass over 5lbs out of there, usually by accident. This year I plan on actually targeting a little more when I can't run off to another lake to chase skis. Only problem is since the eradication of canadian waterweed from the lake it has become devoid of all submergent vegetation and it never has had any good dropoffs or changes in bottom composition (100% muck). The key is to find a consistent way to locate and catch them in deeper water. I know outside of spawning season they don't hang out around the pads or docks (I see a lot of fisherman try this without any success, outside of an 8"er here and there).

I got a little too caught up in muskie fishing in '07, I realized I missed out on some fun bass fishing right here in town. Picked up a new 6'8" med xfast Avid and I'm upgrading a couple older green Curado reels to the Shimano Citicas, best bang for the buck out there in reels in my opinion.

So, my goal is to target the bass a bit more. My family cabin is on some good smallieand large water, so I want to hit the bass more.

I have a big supply of my favorite jig 'n' pig combo (3/16 Stanley jigs and Zoom tails) I have to burn up!

Above all, goal is to have fun!

I have already started fishing

[primetime49]

fish daily on open water

train community kids to fish

put on a few tournaments

take some handicap persons ,disabled ,and children out that possibly wont get to fish

Enjoy my family and freind time on the water

most important my dad and his freinds are not getting out much so plan on at least getting them out once a week or so even if it is just off my dock.it is just to much work for them to take care of boats launching reloadings etc

get healthy

[lookincalifornia]

World Peace.

My BIG plans are not for 2008.... but 2009.... I will be getting a new bass boat finally... tired of the Titanic. (14' Lund 15hp)

[Matt Johnson]

Ah yes, the wintertime river smallies Already done that a couple times too

I'm just hoping to learn more lakes in 2008, although I'm sure that won't happen all that much with guiding on Tonka and the Chisago Chain taking up a lot of my time. I would also like to get out fishing with a few more people and find more time to get my dad and brother in the boat. I would also like to work on expanding my techniques and patterns. A lot to learn out there for the bass world, but it's all fun

Get a trolling motor so I can actually get my boat out and hit some metro lakes. All I've used it for is trolling for walleye's up north. Luckily I've been able to get out with friends the past few years.
