With each of us in different boats figuratively, as to time we fish or can fish, waters we fish, and experience, what are your aspirations for this season.
FISH Do you set goals for number of fish you should or would like to catch, a certain size of fish you are out to catch or top, a number of fish larger than" X" inches.
WATER Do you have goals as to bodies of water? Will you try to learn a new lake, master one lake, fish a different type of body of water be it river, larger lake, smaller lake, clear, dirty/fertile lake, fish as many different lakes as possible, fish atleast "Y " new lakes this year?
TIME Is there are certain amount of days/hours you are shooting for to target muskies? or just fishing in general?
FISHING Any lure presentaion(or lure) you are going to try or try and master this year or catch a fish on? Are you out to try to troll/cast more this year? Are you hoping to fish with different people or possibly take a certain person fishing? Hoping to fish a certain event(s)?

Goals
Last year Queenie and I had a great season with 98 total fish with each of us getting a nice 47", we got awards for divisional wins and each caught over 10, 40" fish . We fished 23 different lakes and spent over 12,000.00 dollars in Lures ,Gas, motels and repairs. Burned out a brand new trailor axle in one season. We will not be repeating ha ha ha . Our goals for 2005 are simple. Fish for big fish. I doubt I will catch 10 Muskies all season. Im after a 40 lber. We plan on fishing only waters where they live. Our trips will be few and far between. We have two planned to the Upper pen returning to some big fish we saw there last year. Planning on Mullet,Black, Torch, Sanford,Detroit river and St. Claire. Hoping for a possible trip to Buffalo Harbour . I would like to follow Capt. Larry Jones around for a weekend but probably wont get there this year. There are some very big fish in Erie. Kingfisher

1.) Pound the Tubby Bitch hard all night and all day.
2.) Catch the elusive breakwall fatty rod-bender.
3.) Put one in the boat on Noonan-(mmmmmiss it!)
4.) Have you put hooks into the fatty of the trough.
5.) 16 hour drifts and administration of the cheddar and other safromage.
6.) Get rid of all crappy baits I do not like.
7.) Fish more with baits fish havent seen 798 versions of.
8.) Complete production of the Willgle.
9.) Extensively test your netting ability.
10.) Buy Hooker on fall trip.

Alrighty then Cyberlunge!! I wish I knew what you were talking about. My goal is to enjoy myself this summer. Play in the new boat and get it rigged the way I want it. Catch fish in all four to the lakes in the Tit chain. Figure out something consistant on Sanford, and hook up with a couple of different people to fish with. Also hit a 50 incher in MI, MN, ONT, and KY. I don't think that is asking to much.

Kevin-I think I may have ruptured my spleen! :lol: lol
I hope the tubby bitch is well rested, as for Noonan he may be retired to the wall of shame early this season. My recommendation for cheese this year is Carre de l'Est a soft, moist and elastic cow milk cheese from France, it has a smoky-bacon flavor with a hint of mushroom avalible in washed rind or penicilin mould crust, "C'est Fromage!"
My goals are not to demanding this year after the bitch slapping I took last year.
I really don't need a 50" but hope to top 46" with atleast three fish this year and also one multiple fish day.
Concentraiting on two bodies of water for the majority of fishing this year. One is still a mystery with a very low population the other I have only fished a few times for muskie and hope to learn it inside and out.
I set a goal this year that I will fish more days than you can count on two hands. :x
I am going to try to make one or two MMA events this year. Hopefully hook up with some other muskie freaks up north(residing or visiting) and take my congressman out and let him hook a ski.
Oh and also I will net a 30#er on the prototype of the willgle.

OK Will I ran it through legal and they said I could disclose certain aspects of this "SUPERBAIT".
It will Be a low riding bait the size of a two liter bottle, It will displace enough water to empty the St. Clair river in a single twitch. It is made of wood from trees growing on the banks of the river of denial and loaded with moon rocks for exact specifications. Production is currently scheduled to take place at underground laboratories in area 51.
The color scheme will be a repeating scale pattern of small photographs of a certain fish club president who seems to attract muskies much as drosophilia is attracted to detritus. This pattern has proven to attract any and all muskies in a cubic mile of water, however the bait will exclude all fish under 65 pounds due to its enormous size. The production will be limited to eleven baits per year and those will be given to people who already catch many more fish than the rest of us. There will be 865 different colors although the predominant scheme will be "Andy Warhol". after an introductory period during which ALL fishermen will clamour to own them they will be displayed at shows nationwide with "sold out" signs adorning the display tables. Production will then go into full swing making upwards of 73 baits yearly which will be sold on Ebay for three times the actual value. It will come in two sizes "Loch-ness" and "Yeti" and fish everywhere will tremble at its mention. Ultimately it is doomed to become the subject of endless debate and eventually fade into memory as the bait that "could've made a difference". As the riots sweep parts of the Midwest being especially bad in Minnesota and Wisconsin all Willgles will be removed from the market by the US government and stored at Fort Knox. They will then only be traded to other countries in exchange for their nuclear arms due to their extreme value and rareness. I as the inventor and patent holder will retire to my dirt floored cabin in Montana and publish endless doctrines about the government and their plot to destroy all Willgles. Most of the country never having actually seen one will consider me brilliant but insane as I fade into obscurity. The campfire stories about eighty pound muskies will be told for eternity as names like Detloff, Heiting, and Ramsell are mentioned again and again... Pictures of "alleged" Willgles will surface at different times and people will talk of one that was found buried in someones garage. National Willgle Day will be celebrated by all Musky heads "un-officially" every opening day for the rest of time.
I just want a Damn weagle am I asking that much?
