Catch as many "trash fish" as possible on the fly.

Let me know if you find a sure-fire fly for red horse. and what works best for cats.

I have caught many a channel cat on purple wooly buggers.  I am sure a squirmy worm would catch any redhorse.

Couple more over-nighters than I did this year (1).

Hey that’s exactly the same number I did last year.

       The second thing I hope to do is fish with more Ozark Anglers members. I'm putting it out there ladies and gentlemen. We should fish together. We might catch, we might not but fish we will! 

Put me on the list.

One river "real" river walleye, preferably, in SE Mo. I used to backpack in and around the Johnson shut-ins area, in my youth. There is some kind of romance in those trees rocks and water for me.

I am still hoping for that 10# or 30"walleye from a SW Missouri Lake, hopefully Stockton but I wouldn't cry if it came from Tablerock.

I would love to do all this with my wife, but I realize these are my goals.....that don't make sense.

A word to the wise:

 The journey is the best part, the sense of accomplishment is fleeting. Memories are good, but active participation is better.

I about drove myself crazy looking for a walleye from Stockton each month.  The constraints of work, weather, time, money, some days I wanted to quit this foolishness, but once I got some water under the boat, it seemed to be ok.

I guess I taught myself to work toward a goal, and enjoy the moment that I am living in.  

Now if I can just make some money doing what I love, win win.

Goals?  Over 2018s numbers which were insanely low I'm going to go with...

Fish more, fish more often and say "I can't go" less to never.

Use up my Dip Bait so I can use more Punch Bait.

I have about 20 pounds of Dip Bait but found a Punch Bait that works as good and much easier.

To fish in a state other than MO.  Jigfest will complete that.  I would like to fish once a month.   That would be an accomplishment for me.  

Thanks to the wife and kids this may be a little easier.  My gift this year was a subscription to Mystery Tackle Box.

My daughter and her boyfriend gave me this for Xmas. Achieving my goals will be a little easier this year as well. And will get me some new ones for 2020 as well.
