Your boat fishing hopes dreams & ambitions for 2013?

Tue Jan 08, 2013 11:04 pm

Just wondering what everybody's targets are for the year ahead?

Personally, I'd like to catch a Porbeagle, and I've yet to catch a common skate, so that's on my list too.

Would also like to try some Bass fishing with SPs from my own boat in North Wexford.

Target is to get 20 species from my own boat from DUBLIN to WICKLOW in a single day best day i have to beat is 18.
i also have to beat a total of 30 species in the year form my boat,might have to travel with the boat this year to make it a little bit easier :wink:

My hopes would've be to find a bass mark in mayo that would produce often ( no luck yet). Also to catch some thing big from the boat conger ,shark
Or something like that . Fingers crossed,.

Well, some decent high pressure...about three weeks a month between now and next October will do nicely.
A consistent 2013 on bass would be great...(something like 2010 or 2011 would be grand)
After that more of the usual please.....:)
