Fishing Goals 2020

[Ham]

I’m a numbers guy, but I expect 2020 to be more about new experiences. I have a trip lined up for Mexico, hoping for a New England trip, hoping for Carp on the fly in Michigan, trying for a Sandhills Nebraska Trip, and still trying to line up a Venice bass fishing trip.

My man Marty is making me want to wave the fairy wand more.

I intend to fish the Spring River in OK.

I’m hoping for a follow up Redear trip with Quillback.

I’d like to get Waldo on the stretch of the White above Eureka Springs.

Waldo also needs to ply the waters of the Strawberry River.

I’m going to try for 10 states fished this year.

And let’s try for 10 Benjamin’s and 20 Fifty Burgers

so let’s say modest numbers like 3000 total fish

a Great Big number of fish species caught like say 75 total species. I want 13 lifers in that mix.

 Including an American Eel which I failed to do in 2019.

pics or it didn’t happen right. 

What are you hoping for in 2020?

I guess I missed the class on lifers. What is it?

I'm going to get the boat out more than just twice like the last two years.

Think will fish less and shoot more next year. Always want to change it up.

Lifers are any new species caught and added to a life list.

I plan to get a tournament jersey and enter every small club tournament i can.

Well I would like to try some of the new Ned style baits that are coming out, see if I can find anything better than a cut in half Zinker.  Probably won't find one, but what the heck.

I want to fish crankbaits more than I do now, maybe this will be the year.

I want to spend more time pan fishing for bluegills and red ear, especially on Table Rock.

Hoping for relatively stable weather in May and June and if so, hoping for a good top water striper bite.

If Ham beings Waldo over to the upper White, I hope I can snag a ride with him.

I am gonna keep it simple: Yellowfin/Bigeye tuna.  I still want to do other fishing, but that for sure.

Well I will try for 100 lunker trout again this year. High water cut out about 3 months of good catching opportunities this past fall. Good luck to all on this year's goal.
