ambitions for this year :-
1) new species (already done 8) )
2) comp win or two would be nice (or at least outfish Petekd in a competitive situation which can almost amount to the same thing :)
3) Get at least 30 species this year
4) I'm with hush1 on the girl for nights fishing -something to do between casts could be good, not sure what my wife will think of that though.......

she'd probably beat you with a breakaway lead, then stab you with your tripod for seconds :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I COULD START A NEW DATING SERVICE........

I could call it "Saturday Nights By The Sea"

Enjoy a romantic evening on the beach while enjoying the company of a stinky mackeral fingered fisherman......ah what an idea!!

You could woo these girls with cups of hot tea and cheese rolls...for an extra gimmick Rogerdadoger will photograph the happy couple....for the happy memory..if the dates not going well he can make noises in the sand dunes and then jump out which will make her jump into yoiur arms from being scared. Hold on he does that already :lol: .

if it starts too rain you can relocate to the comforts of your fishing bivvy...I think Im on a winner!

What do you think lads?

:lol:

think that system of yours and dodgers is priceless!!

my N.Y resolution is to get myself a good multiplier reel and a new beachcaster rod , get my head around the multiplier and get a good technique so i can start bangin out the leads with a bit of distance if i need too :P .. seein as im usin sh%*e fixed spools at the moment and my rods are a bit knackered too... i need to work on my current cast which lands about a foot infront of my nose :roll:

Get Abu Mag Elites, £70 For a heck of a good reel.

I agree with Conor, great multiplier for starting out, pretty forgiving - no complaints with mine (other than that handle nut coming loose!!) in the past few months I've been using one....

1.Fish more
2.catch more
3.Cast further then 50 yards :lol:
4.Learn to use a multi :oops:
5.Become supreme overlord of the universe or at least get any sort of a result at one of the comps. either one will do, not to greedy !!! :)

1. Fish More Matches
2. Catch 30 Species this year
3. 2lb+ Codling from Shore
4. Ray From Shore
5. 10lb+ Conger from Shore
6. Learn to Drive Before June (its fishing related, trust me)

8)

I'm quietly targeting 50 species this year but I swing both ways, i.e fresh and saltwater.

Two species I've always wanted to get under my belt are Huss and Ray so they're a defo, thinking of the Shannon estuary.

ok, decided I was aiming to low for my resolutions this year - picking up new species to easily at the moment and am pretty confident I'll get my 30 species barring any unforseen accidents, so after a conversation on the way back to Cork from Saturday's comp am going to up the ante somewhat.
My new resolution is to catch a Porbeagle :D (hopefully Pete is still game for helping me???) maybe between the two orkney's we'll be able to handle one :?
So watch the boat reports! (or possibly the national news when they're trying to find me :lol: when the porbeagle tows me around the place)

A decent Porgie should have no problem pulling 2 Orkneys, I'll be there... :D

1 tie my own rigs
2 make my own weights
3 dig my own bait (i can tell you now this wont happen)
4 25 species
5 cast 100 yards
6 try boat fishing for first time
7 win my fiver back of my brother

derek

Heres my List


1 stop breaking reels

2 stop breaking rods

3 stop getting birdies / snap offs

4 win 1 comp

5 catch a tope from shore and boat



fintan

not to buy any rods this year( that doesnt count ones bought last year that are been built)

Not a chance Dbrock....not buy a rod for the whole year!.......4 months is my best before giving in :lol:

try and catch as many species of ray off the shore as possible, have marks for 4 of them.....lets see how this goes

Tope From the Shore

Qualify for the Masters '09

One of those would be great, both would be spiffing :D

Not a chance Dbrock....not buy a rod for the whole year!.......4 months is my best before giving in :lol:

no really i have to many and it will cost me alot ive a few bets on about it
