Thread: 2012 "To do list"

Catch my first cobia.
Catch a 30#+ king.
Catch a bobo.
Catch a black drum.
Hook up on a tarpon.

:yippee:Fish as much as I can today, for there may not be a tomarrow, Mike

Catch a YFT & BFT
Catch a 30lb+ King
Catch a Mahi

Get certified to dive and start spearfishing!

All of this reminds me of a prayer in the Farmers Almanac (with a slight modification):

Fishermen are a different group. Nothing bothers them. They can stand on a pier or sit in a boat all day. The preference is to catch a fish or two but hey, just fishing makes time whittle away.

A Fisherman’s Prayer

God grant me a little more time

To pick up my rod, and cast my line.

Work and worry disappear

When I pick up my fishing gear.

With fishing cart in truck, I will go

Anywhere the fishing’s not too slow.

Work just doesn’t seem so fine

When I see what’s at the end of my fishing line.

When I am feeble, old and grey

Please don’t take my pole away.

When the Pearly Gates open wide

Please find this old fisherman, one good pier inside!

Catch a ling from a boat, as well as try and break dad's record.

Catch a 40+ king, or at least a bigger one than last year.
Catch more kings than last year.
Get in on more days when the big spanish are going nuts.
Catch a cobia so I can see what all the fuss is about.

:fishing: :fishing: :fishing:
getting my first king
:eat: :eat: :eat:

Nice poem. There is no polite "applause" icon, so you get the next closest thing. :headbang:

What is your fishing related goal that you would like to accomplish in 2012?
Mine is a real tough one...I'd like to set the IGFA 2lb line record for King Mackeral :headbang:

Other than that I'd like to catch a speck in 7-8lb range

I am certainly an advocate of UL goals. That is an admirable one as well.

:headbang:

The Speck will come. Get with me in March or November and we'll make it happen.

Sounds like a plan VG. Theres nothin more fun than UL imho.
