So what will you do different 2009, to target bigger fish?
me -
I will concentrate on moving water first, deeper cuts where lazy bigger fish are holding, and mouths of inlets.
I will leave small fish to find bigger fish, if the conditions call for it.
I will also use eels more, and pick the brain of every friend I meet on the beach whos using them. They are killer.
hey dark i will try fishing in a fan like pattern when i am on the rocks i will make small changes in the speed and how deep each rod will have a diff lure so weather i cast long or short i can still do what i need to do:thumbsup::plastered::fishing:
fish at night more with the vampires :D
Go out at least 4 nights a week and hit the jetties hard!
I will fish other areas, depending on how the pickin's are.:)
I'm with Jimmy, like to try other spots and catch a 40lber.

Make some time to sneak out with the kayak more. :fishing:
Fish bad weather more often. I miss the best fishing because of family and work, still haven't figured a way around that. :huh:
I'm going to move around more. I used to stay in one spot the whole time, and thanks to you guys I learned not to do that. :HappyWave:
I have been condo camping( I have a large fifth wheel) in a great campsite not too many people fish I have been scouting for 2 years and picking away at fish but this spring I fished a place I call the mud puddle everyone thinks I am crazy when they see me walking there a little back pond with live bunker and had a 49" bass one night and a 50" the next night. I am very careful not to let them see me walking out of there with the fish so I made a lot of reservations there and I guess you know where I am fishing this year.I have also found many back up spots that produce but not that size bass.Heres to 2009:thumbsup:
Fish less time each outing, but make more fishing trips.

I want to do a grand slam from the surf, catching a bass, weakfish, and bluefish all in the same 24 hours.
To catch a weakfish over 10lbs. All the ones I have ever caught were spikes and a little bigger. Also to learn to use bucktails better.
2009 I am going to put a bigger effort into catching bigger bass. The goal is for a bass of 40 pounds. Thanks to Rip-Plugger I have some plugs that should attract the big girls. I will also do more fishing in the dark this year.
I have wanted to do that for years, but you don't see too many big weakfish in the Sound.Quote:
