Well I'm somewhere round the middle of a target of 150 Sessions for 2011, Going to spend the summer searching out a load of Mini species hopefully, later in the year I'll be aiming for a couple of extra ray species... Think I'm pretty much on target for the 50 this year... Fingers crossed.

Re: what are you going to do different this summer
Get my first ray, bass and tope (shore) hopefully. Get in a few south coast sessions as I've fished north, east and west but not south yet
And hit the 30 species mark too.
It ain't easy but it sure is simple!

Re: what are you going to do different this summer
the way things seem to be going it's 'not fish as much'
but would like few more specimen fish this year, its not too much to ask really! is it?
