I spent a good part of last year doing most things wrong and working things out. Finally by the fall season I think I got a decent handle on this surf fishing thing. So here are a few goals for this year.


1) Hit the early bluefish run this year. If I remember correctly they come in thick just around Mothers Day. Also I remember guys talking about how close in the blues are, don't want to overcast them.

2) Crack the 40" mark on a striper. I caught them up to 38" last year, I'd like to tangle with some of those big ones that are out there.

3) Improve my casting distance. Up till now I have been snap casting, this year I want to try the ofg cast. The first part of last year I started out with equipment that was way too light for throwing heads/weight. I now have 5 rods/reels that will throw 10 ounces or more.

4) Do more night fishing for sharks! Pretty cool stuff.

5) Catch a red drum. I fish the top end of the orv entrance (no 4wd) so this may be tough. It seems like the drum are mostly south of me.

6) If anyone sees me come by and say hello. I am the one walking around with the beach cart, mostly in the north end of the orv. Sometimes north ocean area.
