This Years Goals And Aspirations

[changa]

Red,

If you and Changa fail up on Ribbon, I know just the place for that doggie - getting a boat there is a bit of a problem though

Tight lines & hope the trips all good

Generally fish more often.

new species:

1. Jew on soft plastic (the bigger the better)

2. King fish

3. estuary perch on SP

species to improve PB's:

1. flathead on fly

2. bass on anything (want to try one of the dams)

3. fewer grinners

Techniques:

1: improve SP casting at boat hulls

2: trout on dry fly (prob' wont get a chance though)

Get a digital camera to improve reports a pic tells a 1000 words.

Cheers and hope all meet their dreams

real simple list for me.

i want enough fishing time to be able to eat fish 6 nights a week (gotta keep 1 night free for a big thick steak)

i also want to start getting out of the bay more and try my luck out a bit wider.

throw in another new years eve on the harbour and things will be looking great.

There's 2 islands about 4 miles straight out the front of Rabaul harbour [Pidgeon island] where one side drops vertically into 350 ft of water with the prevailing current pushing hard up against the face - home to some enormous doggies who know every bit of coral in the vicinity. B*stards! - though it wasn't unusual to see locals walking around Rabaul lugging 40kg+ dogtooth over their shoulder on their way to market.

Bluecod,

where we are heading next week is still home to some beauties. Some over the 100lb mark.

Id be more than happy with a 50lb'er but the bigger the better

Cant wait.

Starting to get excited now......our trip is not far away. Hoping to post a nice pic of Changa's doggie when we get back

I think the number one thing is to get out and fish more. Experience is king.

1) 30cm plus bream on sp

2) 90cm plus flathead on sp

3) A decent jew on bait or plastic from Newcastle Harbour.

4) Get a fly outfit for saltwater work.

5) Get into some metal spinning off the rocks.

6) More beach fishing over the summer months.

Every other day I come up with something I want to try, or some place I want to go. I'm sure I'm driving the crazy, especially with the price of fly gear . I'm hoping to expand the tackle selection considerably, get into rod repair by fixing up a few of my old neglected rods (including one for the ) and one day find myself the proud owner of a boat of some description.

Um, yeah I think that just about covers it.
