I'm going to try the Slamr philosophy ............. Find 20 FOW and cast at the shore until something eats ...........
Or 20 FOW at an island, boat dock, sunken island, rock, dead deer, rusted out car, garbage pile. Whatever. |

Location: Indiana & Wisconsin | I'm gonna enjoy more about the fishing experience than the catching or lack of, enjoy more sunrises and sunsets , Enjoy fishing with my Dad who is in his mid 80's and my two son's who are 13 & 18 ( the 18 yr old is a die hard smallie fisherman).. Savor talking about the day over a beer and a glass of wine. I'm gonna fish more topwaters and not worry about The % of hook-ups ( we only get to fish about 3 weeks a year). Give my husband more grief about catching bigger fish than he does, if only in jest, and learn our new lowrance side scan fish locator system... that will be a challenge |

Watch what I eat. Less fat/sodium.
fish the hot bite. get the best info, and fish the spot/species that is happening.
Get better with the HD underwater camera
Film some steelhead/Rainbow underwater. |

Location: Bemidji, Lake Vermilion | Make better decisions and not nearly die on the water. Nearly did it two years ago, promised myself I wouldn't do it again but did it again this spring anyways. I'd like to live long enough to fish some more. |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Well, this year I might actually take a cast for a muskie. Last year was zero effort for muskies, just to busy with work & family, and every day I thank God that I am blessed with my health, a healthy family, and a means to put food on the table and pay the bills. The bill's don't seem to get any smaller either. The boat (Esox Maniac) has been sitting since we came back from our Canadian trophy walleye hunt in late June. I had a great time learning to use the new features in my Humminbird 997 SI. Jazzy & Xavier had an excellent Canadian fishing adventure.
So yeah, one of my New Year resolutions is to actually chase some muskies again in 2011.
Have fun!

| Good Lord willing fish some new water, fish some water I haven't hit in a few years and other than that just have a similar season to 2010. I would love for my shoulder to heal as well. Hurt it last march... but I have 6 months till the hard fishing starts so hopefully...

| I won't park the boat stern out ---Sunk the new Tuffy last summer due to a moment of laziness.
Also--want to fish the first light bight every day during my big trip. In addition mid day---even if there is some sun. Never fished mid day with sun---but this summer will try it----the only time the wife likes to go out in the boat.
Want to keep it fun and lose the intense grumpy attitude I usually have until I catch a nice fish.
Spend more time exploring new spots on the home water---trying to find a great spot that does not get fished.
What to be a nicer guy while I am in the boat on the water with other boaters/skiers etc.. also other fishmerman, and especially other Musky fisherman. Do not want to be a jerk anymore while Musky fishing.
Want to learn how to take better pictures of fish when I am by myself. Learning to use the self timer on my camera and setting it up to get great solo shots. |
