Goals for next season

What are your goals or hopes / dreams for next year. Where do you hope to be in your diving or are you satisfied with what you have done and where you are at.
Mine are:
  • Increase bottom time to a consistent 2 minutes
  • Take the first bass of the season
  • Hit 60 ft depth and increase comfort level to 55 ft. I am comfortable now at 45ft
  • Take a 65 lb bass, a 15 lb Tog, more big triggers, and if at all possible a 3lb lobster
  • Go to Block Island more often
  • Dive every weekend at least one day regardless of conditions

Just a little something to start thinking about and how you are planning to achieve them.

My goal is to allow my boat, that I worked on for the last 6 years and finally finished, to provide an initial season of reliable and productive worry free fishing trips.

Re: Goals for next season

This will only be my second season, so:

1) Hit 40ft consistently and comfortably. I think this will first happen in the clear waters of Maine, as the last time I dove for real depth it was in around 1ft of viz and 20ft was pretty ridiculously dark.

2) Hit BI and the Isles of Shoals

3) Shoot a big striper

4) Have my midhandle build ready for some potentially excellent early spring striper spots.

5) Find NH guys to dive with.

6) Compete in my first spearing competition.

just to clarify .... you think you be able to take a 65 lb bass and a 15lb tog and if at all possible a 3lb lobster. The three pound lobster is your long shot??!!! I will put you on to dozens of 5 lb plus lobsters, just put me on the 50lb bass and 13lb tog your passing up. Matter of fact, i'll put you on a stack of mammoth bugs this summer, you just bring enough beer for me to keep a heavy buzz on. I'll drive and you dive.

Re: Goals for next season

the big tog is harder than the bass, with 2 over 15 i can say they were not shot while looking for big fish. i have how ever found a lot more like those 2 but just 2 over 15 lots of 10 to 13's but they are all hens so they get passed up since they are all where they are to spawn.
that said i want to shoot sea bass and have a couple nice new spots to get it done shallow.

Muzzy if you hang anymore fish in that room, it is going to start looking like an aquarium.
