Keeping your wishlist real is the question, like upping your game, say you caught a 37cm flounder back in 2011 gun after a 40cm flounder, find were the marks are that produces a fish of that size on a regular basis, and target it. You'll be suprised what other fish could be around at the sametime,

Im gunning after a nice bass this year (not a schoolie) then later on in the year a youghal cod, next year 2013 I'll be gunning after larger flats then this year :D also this year Im gunning for conger, tope, smoothhound, and Ray :D :D (hope to be busy if i can get the time in!!!)
