What is on tap for you for 2016? New Species? Taking a crack at a new PB? Fishing first tournament?

Curious what everyone has planned!

Only one plan for me and it's to be able to go more often than this year.

Sold my boat, motor and trailer in the summer of 2014 and have been stuck on shore ever since. Only got out in a boat once this year for bass opener. Getting a new ride is my goal for 2016. I tell people it feels like part of me died not having my boat

Going in to my 18th year at Renegade Bass and it's high time we won one. I've won other tournaments, but never Renegade. This is the year.

My goal is to at least duplicate the absolutely awesome year I had fishing on my lake.
Also, I would like to make a couple of more road trips to other bodies of water.
I successfully did a few "I take you fishing at my lake and you take me fishing on your lake." Sort of like a home and home series
Had a blast!
Thanks for asking and good fishing in 2016!
Cheers.

Hopefullly fish a few shootout series as well as the new renegade tournaments with the 150 hp restriction.......Maybe a FLW tournament as well. Fished 5 shootout events last year with closest finish to the money being about 1.5 pounds away.

Can't wait to get the year started....lol

Good luck to all this winter

My goals this year are very simple.

Fish more.

Spend time fishing with family and friends and to get out with new people and LEARN.

No ego, no spot revealing etc.

Just time out enjoying it.

If PBs occur great. If not, still time well spent.

Once again I'll be looking to land that elusive 5 lb smallie from somewhere other than the St Lawrence or Lake Ontario. There were six of them put in my boat this year and none of them were hooked by me.....

I hope to get Owen out in the boat even more! Fish as much as possible targeting as many species as possible. So many fishes, so little time!

Well,

Looking to fish a different tournament series and learn something from a new partner.

I want to break the 5lb mark on a largie. I've hit 4 a few times but never a 5...

A bunch off the top of my head..

1. Catch my first musky.
2. Throw the crankbait more

I live in south-east Ontario. I grew up fishing at Rice Lake with my pops. Haven't really been fishing in 2015 due to work commitments and a few unforseen family troubles but hoping for that to change in 2016. Now my sons old enough to enjoy it, I want to take him to the lake for some fishing. I prefer June onwards as there's more variety there and the weathers better for a family outing. I do want to head over once the cold weathers subsided though early spring as I'm itching to get back out there. Just ordered some rods and all the other gear from a for sale site on the net so we're ready and prepared for the first signs of spring. All being well, we'll get chance to fish somewhere further a field to if I work doesn't end-up being as full-on this year. Eitherway, i've promised myself to make the effort this year and make the most of the free weekends, spending some quality time fishing with the boy. Looking forward to 2016, may it be a good year for all fellow fishers.

So many fish and so little time, but here's what i'm thinking.

1. Fish more. It's about time I marked 2 days a week on the calendar to fish and make sure I actually do it rather than saying I'm too busy.

2. Fish new water. Going to the same places over and over gets un-adventurous. Going to try new spots and see some new country.

3. Fish with more people. Looking forward to inviting more friends out to enjoy the outdoors and good times.

4. Give back. Last summer I did some stream rehabilitation work with a conservation group. I learned a lot and made some new friends. Really should do more of it.

Catch my first 16 inch crappie.
Put over 1000 fish over the gunnels of my Lund from October 1 to end of November 2016.
Get a few more Fish-Hawk people out and into catching numbers and quality of fish.
Give an honest effort using a spy bait, had a few lads out this past year and I got schooled by them and their spyisms. PBAB
Hope soft water arrives shortly, so I can get some spring fishing in.

My goal this year is more of a broad stroke, Fish Smarter.
It is easy to become comfortable in what you do, even lazy at times.
This year I will put a lot of effort in analyzing what I'm doing and pushing myself beyond what I am comfortable doing.
My other goal is to scare the hell out of my fishing partner the way he did to me last year
