Well, I ticked off a few last year;

Catch my first squid ✔
Catch my first 50cm+ Flatty ✔ (was pretty exciting considering ive pulled in at least 2000 of the buggers over the years)
Catch my first Aussie Salmon (just under 1kg) ✔
Catch my first 5kg+ Snapper ✔
Catch my first whiting landbased (cape pat) ✔

Next year:

Catch my first 30cm+ hood cala
catch a 1kg+ Sambo
New PB Red (5.2kg)
Learn to Whiting fish in a boat (well)
Catch my first keeper gummy

Happy new year all, I hope next year is an even better years fishing than the last, and I reckon I have had one of the best seasons yet last year.

1. To catch a cod off the surface. Have only attempted this once from memory.
2. To catch a yella on a lure. Have rarely targeted yellas on lures but I live in a very good area for them so no excuses!
3. To catch my first saltwater...anything. Have never pulled anything out of the salt except seaweed! :-D Not even a starfish! Have rarely fished 'salt' as well.

feel free to add your goals here!
cheers

Number three.....I can see your face when you catch your first mighty banjo...awesome....

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing

Your 'mate' will be in the 'Pro' section - invitation only so bad luck! And for others we are talking about a fishing comp coming up in the Shepparton district!
