I will attempt to rid myself of inner demons and recognize carp as something worth fishing for and not just arrow fodder.

Lotsa fish on the switch rod, mostly pike, 'Ski's and wipers. We'll see how my follow-through is this year though.

Besides the simple 'get out more'?
I want to spend some serious time figuring out Lake Nockamixon for any species here in SE PA. It's local, it's large, and I find it to be inscrutable.

jcarlin, when I come back to visit my parents, I'm game to go in search of the dead sea fish, parent's place is only 5 miles from the 3-mile run ramp.

Fly Fish more and write about it! And Win a trip to go fish with you guys!

I plan on fishing ferociously. Not talking about it or buying unneeded items (I have tons for almost every contingency). Last year due to health and wealth constraints I fished the least I had in about 30 years. All problems alleviated (for which I am very grateful) I will always have gear packed in my truck to go at a moments notice after work. Many old spots and techniques to revisit with the plans to take a mess of my friends different youngsters along. Yea.

Take the kids fishing

My 2013 fishing resolution is to get out fishing at least a few times and fill the freezer with some delicious bass.

Understanding bass. I've spent so many years focusing on becoming a better trout fisherman and trying to improve my fly fishing technique, but my bass fishing is usually a casual thing puffing on a cigar or floating in my boat while mindlessly reeling crankbait with little/no action. I need to start to improve both my warm water tackle box and understanding of how to use it.

Last year my highest priority was catching a musky on the fly with that done I need to catch a much larger musky on the fly also figuring out my newly acquired switch rod is a big one on my list. Besides jus getting out more my friends and I are really pushing to see if we can make a big trip out west none of us have spent more than a day or two out there so if I can accumulate enough time off I will hopefully make it out to Montana for a week

I just moved to SE British Columbia. I want to learn to fly fish. Then catch a native Westslope Cutthroat.

I want catch a bigger trout than my first, a twenty inch rainbow in a stocked kansas stream on a fly! By the way im only fifteen check out my pics in snapshots.

I work at a youth center and it's an annual goal for me to revive our outdoor program. We had a few good years back in the early 2000s when a regular bunch of six or seven kids were up for any kind of fishing trip. We'd hit all the local streams and ponds, and also do fundraisers to get the cash for a yearly charterboat salmon fishing trip on Lake Ontario. There's nothing like seeing a city kid fighting a twenty-pound king. Interest has pretty much bottomed out over the past four or five years, but this year is looking better as our regular crew of kids seem a little more adventurous and willing to put down the Guitar Hero and try something new.

...and my neice and nephew.

Learn to Spey cast with a double handed fly rod, To ties the majority of the flies I use, Fish more alpine lakes, and I guess be nice to people that use spinning rods.

Fishing open Creeks in winter is a great way to keep edge on skills and surprizes .

The Shadow fly fisherman

Go out with a plan...or at least a plan to succeed and learn from instead of "just fishing".

Koldcut,
I just got back online after the holiday weekend. I'm game. Not sure how to get in contact through this site without broadcasting to world.

More fishin',catchin'more fish...

The first thing I am going to do is watch my son catch his first fish. He will be two in March and he is already casting his line a good thirty feet. I plan on taking him to my dads pond that is full of good sized bluegill, putting a beetle spin on the end of his line, and wait for the magic to happen. For me, I want to catch a River Monster. I love to catfish so I want to catch a flathead over 25 lbs. May not sound like a monster to some of you, but that will beat the biggest cat I ever caught so that would make my fishing year.

Take my daughter fishing for the first time. That is enough, but I also want to catch a pike on a fly rod. More days on the water!
