What is your goal for summer

[BGSH]

Was curious what goals everyone has set for this summers fishing season, mine is to finally hike up to all stones lake and going to be heading to slave lake quite a bit come augest, and would not mind landed a 42 inch chunky pike as well.

[rielbowhunter]

A 10lbs walleye, in Alberta.

[waterninja]

one of my goals is to get you to lose that goofy pic. of you peering in the girls bathroom when you were in highschool. hahahahahahahahah lol hahahahah.

sorry iv'e had a few.

A 10lbs walleye, in Alberta.

Deal, just let me know when and where:sHa_shakeshout:

[Albertafisher]

8lb+ bull trout. 20lb+ pike. Big lake whites. Chum from the island. Also hiking up to a golden trout lake. Oh yeah, all that on the fly.

[DiabeticKripple]

I want a 20lb pike and a grayling

[Moefoe]

My goal now is to toss my boat on the Bow and do a float by August long weekend, don't even care if we hook up!!! On a side note my buddy's 14 year old daughter caught an 18" Brown off there back porch in Bowness with a funky looking spinner...apparently it was released unharmed to wander around the neighborhood at will...hmm life will find a way!!!

[Fishfinder]

-break my pb sturgeon (67"length x 30")
-land first bull trout on the fly
-10# + walleye

Those would be my top 3 in order.
Would love to knock remaining Alberta species off bucket list but likely have to wait for another year. Those being Grayling, golden trout, whitefish(mountain), and Lake trout. Hmm after reading that list to myself, looks like a trip up north is in the cards:)

[jaystev]

The hike to allstones isnt too bad just that its uphill the whole way. Fishing up there last year was good only one other guy up there all day, and that was on a long weekend. My goal this year is to finally catch a brown on my fly rod.

[Lund rebel]

Catch a large pike at wabamun lake, largest is around 15 pounds that we have had in the boat but that's still half the size of what people are flaming they have caught this summer.

Wouldn't mind dragging out my fly gear and learning to use it for pike also.

[bwackwabbit]

My goal is to have fun and catch fish.

[burbotman]

40" plus tiger Muskie
6 lbs plus bass
20 lbs plus channel cat

Within 7 hours of calgary

[WayneChristie]

a better than 60 inch sturgeon, and more unrealisticly catch a 100 pounder, tag 150, and a 36 inch walleye. maybe beat my pike next winter. Or just fish a lot, that I can achieve :sHa_shakeshout:
FF I can get you that eye this fall.

[Jamie]

40 pound + salmon for myself
Run 200 people through the Lodge
Catch a Salmon on my "new" 1975 wooden peetz reel.
Have guests set new Lodge record for Salmon. I don't think 60# is going to be impossible.

Beat all my personal bests in Alberta: 17+ Pike, 27+ Laker, 9+ Walleye.
Hopefully have the chance to catch my first salmon, halibut, and all the other fun stuff out there on the coast as I have never been.
Most of all have fun with friends and family on the water.
This will be a cool thread to look back on in the fall

My 2013 fishing goals were to catch the last two fish off of my bucket list in Alberta and they are Grayling and Golden Trout. Grayling is done and now I only have golden trout left. Then I have caught all AB sportfish species. Of the non sport species I have caught carp, 3 kinds of sucker, and chubb and that pretty much covers the non sport fish I wanted to catch.

[JohninAB]

To get back on the water before the end of August!

Have you ever caught a quillback sucker, i don't think i have and have never seen one in the N.S.R but anglers say they are there...

[Wild&Free]

My goal was to float down the Peace sometime this year. Now it's get a hernia repaired and get back on the water asap.

[Teamprotz]

I just want to see my driveway again !

[pikergolf]

30" trout.

You can't do that in public no matter what you call it..........:(

[67ZL1]

10 lb or better walleye!

[Chief16]

Catch anything on the fly besides a pike or a rainbow! Most likely in the north sask or red deer river if they ever decide to come down

[Peace Country]

Explore the many lakes and rivers at my new NWT fishing lodge this summer.
Catch and release a 50 lb lake trout.
Catch and release a 30 lb lake trout on my 9 wt fly rod.
Catch and release a 50" northern pike.
Catch and release a 6 lb grayling.
Set a new lodge record of 59 plus lbs lake trout.
Enjoy a 5:00 am coffee every day on deck over looking the lake.

It is the only one I haven't caught but since they are so rare and impossible to individually target, they are not on the bucket list.

[B_Type13X2]

Meet then fight Alan Jackson at the big valley jamboree. As for fishing, another 7lb walleye from the river, hopefully bigger.

[tight line]

1000 lb Giant Bluefin Tuna. August cant come soon enough!

[Pikecrazed]

No bait

30 lbs pike


15" perch
10 lbs walleye
Lake white on the fly
Brooke on the fly
Bull trout
Dolly varden in ab
Bass any
And just to have fun and maybe fulfill some of my goals but as long as I'm fishing I'm happy sask bound in 4 days with new boat and no bait

[B_Type13X2]

1000 lb Giant Bluefin Tuna. August cant come soon enough!

If your line snaps when the fish is at the boat are you going to do the honorable thing and jump in after it with a knife?

[OneGirlWolfPack]

My fishing goals: I'd like to catch a sturgeon, any kind of trout and a walleye. Last year all I caught was a couple of pike but so far this year I've added suckers, chubs and goldeye to the list. People can mock my skills but I'm proud of my accomplishments. :)

[MtnGiant]

changed completey now

its all about accessable areas

[Bhflyfisher]

Get to the waters nearest me, that wont be crowded with southerners this year.

[jacenbeers]

I thought I would add some ocean fishing accomplishments that I want to achieve. I want to catch a rockfish from a kayak next month on my Vancouver Island trip. I also want to catch a halibut and an octopus.

[Jamie Black R/T]

as others with young families can relate....get out fishing whenever time allows and have some fresh fried walleye a few times with family on the deck.

thats enough for this guy....for now....once i kick the kids outta the house things may change lol

Thank you for letting me share those first fish species with you, its always a pleasure fishing with someone who gets so excited about fish that us old jaded people are used to catching. I hope I have the pleasure of introducing you to your first sturgeon this season, and if you save me a day this fall I will get you a walleye so big 95% of this forum will only be able to dream about!

[JReed]

Goals have changed for me to honing stillwater fly fishing techniques for trout. I've already come to terms with having basically no stream fishing in southern alberta this year due to floods

[kronk]

ten pound trout...

And my meter long pike... been a long time goal. I got 98cm two years ago, but i'm still waiting on my meter long slough shark.

[CanadianBadass]

Catch more sturgeon this year then I did last year, Last year I was close to 40, this year I wanna be closer to 100 . And as well , catch a white sturgeon while im down there in july !

Been in that situation and thought about it... Lol

You're so awesome Wayne! Thank you for all your help and advice! If the rivers ever go back down we'll definitely be sturgeon hunting. Can't wait! :)
We both know that walleye is going to get caught in my hair. Hahah!

[Hunter Trav]

I'd be a little worried about that statement if I was you OGWP...:scared0018:

No worries, after I get a few minutes of video I have a pair of scissors in the boat.:scared0018:

[EZM]

Catching a fish bigger than Crownb's buddy.

Using a lure ...........

[OneGirlWolfPack]

Hahahah! I now have some really bizarre mental images going through my mind. Thanks! :p

[Hunter Trav]

No worries...watch out for them sturgeon...:scared0018: :lol:

[Vega21]

Need to add the following to my resume

-Burbot
-Sturgeon
-Goldeye
-Whitefish

Question is where should I go?

I caught my first Walleye last month. That was fun since I wasnt even aiming for them.

[keep6matt]

- finish some carpentry projects for family members (its great cause I get to spend some quality time with them as well)
- have two more fish to finish up for taxidermy
- continue to go into the recording studio to write and lay tracks for album number 4, great fun to pass the time in an evening.
- after above is accomplished get out on the lakes, rivers to catch some fishes and get some good pics
- find myself a good woman that loves fishing to join me on many fishing adventures
- start scouting an area I have permission to hunt this fall and place up a game camera or two
