bassturds Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Going off the things learned thread. What are some goals you got this year. New techniques, new waters? Sizes I’m going to start fishing after May. I usually fish bass from now until May. Then saltwater starts. But the past few years my saltwater has been HORRIBLE! So I’m taking a break, going to bass fish all summer fishing new waters. I try every year to learn a water or 2, but continue fishing my usual spots. Maybe I’ll find another honey hole. work on my summer fishing. Been a few years since I’ve put some time in the warmer months. Work on my crawler game. I never really fished crawlers until last year. Definitely work on that. shooting for a huge bag and another 8. My biggest yearly bag is 35lbs I want to break that. 5 over 7 this year is my goal.

Jonnybass64 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 First and foremost I want an 8 pounder up here in New England. 35 pounds for the best five again would be awesome too. B_larkin3 and bassturds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammmm some big fish! You’re catching fish that size, you’ll 100% get an 8. I didn’t get anything giants last year on swimbaits but got a 7-10 on a jerkbait in March.

ID LOVE TO DO THAT!! It’s funny I don’t catch many fish when I catch a giant. I’ll get a 7 and that’s it. When I got my 8 that’s the 2nd fish I caught that day. But I couldn’t really breathe after I got my Pb cuz I was chasing it for so long! I got a 7-5 and 5 one day only 2 fish I caught no other fish. It’s either dinks and a good one or just a biggon.
