[WayneChristie]

dont think I can do better than 2013, so Im just going to shoot for having a good time fishing as often as I can. Would like to meet up with a certain 80 inch sturgeon Ive heard tell about though.

[SCHOOCH]

No really goals but to have fun with my family and friends whenever i can............OH Ya and catch WC'S MOBY before he does!!!!!!!

[Scott N]

For the most part I enjoy fishing as good therapy for myself, so I don't really have a lot of goals for this year. There are a few though....

- I have concentrated on fly fishing most of my life, and I have never caught a walleye. It's a fish I'd like to knock of my list.

- Sturgeon, another fish that I've never caught.

- Rainy Ridge Lake.... I've been up to Barnaby Ridge and caught a few goldens, but this is another Castle area lake I'd like to find and have some success.

- I caught my first lake trout last week at Spray Lakes, it would be fun to add a few more over the winter months.

[fishermansfriend]

Scott: I will take you walleye fishing if you show me how to flyfish better.

Go to Pine Coulee, go on a weekday. Dark streamers near the bottom and you'll be into walleye. Size doesn't matter much. Troll from a boat or float tube if you've got one, off the dock if not.

You can also hang a leach under an indicator off the dock

[1bluZebec]

Catch a grayling, whitefish,12"+ perch. I would also like to venture out a lot further for lakes and I also need to catch 30#+chinook and a sturgeon over 7' can't wait for these trips.

I'm not sure if I'm the greatest fly fisher and worthy of teaching anyone anything, but that would be a fair trade!

[Bassett]

-15lb+ pike (hopefully through the ice)
-Catch more perch (so tastey)
-Catch a hardwater whitefish (for the first time)
-Catch a trout.. on the fly

This is on my "to do" list, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the tips about fishing it.

For fishing, I'm aiming to:

Catch a 15 or 16in perch in Devils Lake

30in walleye in Alberta

40in pike in Alberta

Learn how to icefish for whitefish

[Ken07AOVette]

Fish another Hawaiian island other than Oahu,

Fish somewhere warm in the next month prior to Hawaii,

Beat my best Tyee 43lbs in June

[skiwili]

Have more fun and enjoyable fishing time

[Iwantsfish]

My resolution is to catch a fish while fishing this year!

Once I get that out of the way my next resolution is to get a handle on my gear (lures). Figure out what I'm fishing for and what works and only take what makes sense for the trip. I'm a newbie so I tend to grab everything I own and then spend more than half my time fiddling with lures and equipment rather than having a line in the water.....leading back into my first resolutions lol.

[The Reel Deal]

oh...
meet and fish with more AO members.
