Fishing Goals 2020

[rps]

My goals are simple.

I have found the drive to Skiatook Lake too long to be fun. The fishery compares poorly to Tablerock. I have been spoiled.

Goal 1: Sell the boat.

Goal 2: Book trips with quality guides on superb waters. Bill on Tablerock. Buster on Bull. ? on the White River below Bull. ? on Grand Lake. And so on. I figure it will take me 5 or 6 years to use the proceeds from the boat. At 70, that is not too bad.

Bill Babler, give me a save the date in late March, late April, and late May on Thursdays or Fridays.

BTW, who wants to buy a Lund Rebel XS Sport with a 90 HP Evinrude ETEC, Ulterra TM, and decent graphs?

I think my 2019 fishing goal is well in hand.  My 2020 fishing goal is to fish in 2021.  I wouldn't mind going a little more often either, but that's more an objective than a goal.

Kind of my thoughts on buying a camper.  Never really thought of a boat that way, but, makes sense.

Wow, I hate to hear that, but your plan is not at all without merit. 

I think I will always have a boat. Even if someone else has to run it for me.

Hey, you are always welcome to come over here to BV and do some fishing with me, we can probably catch a bass or two.

Was a wonky year...Had one good fishing trip on the G Nade...the rest pretty much sucked...Canxed a bunch due to high water...Shooting was more fun than fishing this year...Will see what next week brings, Hoping for a nice brown trout ...been a year or two since I caught  a stellar one.  Usual  bunch will be  camping in the usual spot Weds-Saturday next week...Will be sore lipping em long before you can get there, so dont bother.

I upped my shooting game this year too.  Added several to the shooting gallery.

I am gonna build a range at the farm with a covered bench and a berm.  Weather keeps me from shooting sometimes.  I am going to reload more this year too, develop some pet loads for the .300 Blk Out, 6.5 Grendel, and 5.56.  Upscale the triggers from std mil spec.  And, spend more time shooting.  My pistol reflex is getting rusty and the eyes are not focusing on the sights like they used to...  Sucks to get old, but the extra time gives you something to do.

40 ish dead backyard  squirrels this year. They are still thick, but wiser, and harder to kill. Neighbor & his 3 boys shoot a pile too. They will get stupid again with some snow.

If I could find or teach a boat runner, I would.
