Last years PBs and this years goals
Hey guys, with the new year well on the way and last year a fading memory I'm curious as to what personal bests people succeeded in their desired species and their goals they have set themselves for the coming years,
I guess I'll start
56.5cm tailor - new goal is 60cm
36.5cm Black bream - new goal is 40cm
55cn Flathead - new goal is 60cm
33cm yellow fin whiting - new goal is 35cm
also I'm setting myself a goal of my first sambo, snapper, mulloway and bronzie
All of these landbased
I owe a lot of these captures to a few fellow fishers I met through this site
being new to Perth they showed me some new ground which has helped a lot ( cheers lads)
Everyones got different plans so I'm interested in what everyone's planning for the year to come

HA, dunno bout that mate,
HA, dunno bout that mate, you know I'm having the worst run I can remember. Must have something to do with that black cat I kicked through a mirror when I was standing on a crack under a ladder. If I don't get my mojo back soon I might have to give it away & take up a more productive hobby, like collecting rocking horse turds.

go hard and don't leave one goal un for filled ;-)
some great goals your self, go tick them all super peg :-)
leave no fish unit caught guys
buy the way super peg love your signature as it exactly what some of my days involve ;-)
i remember one day standing underneath a bridge soaking a bait for mulloway with the rain and wind howling, soaking wet and cold so cold i couldn't feel or close my hands, teeth wouldn't stop chattering and shivering uncontrollably probably about to get hupathermia when i could be at home all nice and warm but you don't catch fish at home. i didn't get a thing that day but it shows what these fish do to you:-)
