Bimini15 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2016 We will have time to talk about New Year's resolutions. This thread is about THIS year's resolutions. I am 1/2. I did get back into tying more regularly. Thank you all because the forum has helped with that. But I still have not caught a tarpon. Of course, this was highly unlikely when I did not get close to saltwater but a couple of days all year. How did you guys do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2016 I am a realists. I don't make resolutions because I know I'll never keep them. Actually, it's not a matter of keeping them, it's a matter of remembering I even made them. Can't keep what you can't remember. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will watch this thread with much interest... glad you thought of it.. My resolution: stop being too much of a Platte River, Flathead, you know - with a "...mouth a mile-wide and a brain an inch deep..."

Piker20 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2016 I decided to fish more last year and failed miserably. So this year I plan to fish less and then I can't let myself down. Oh and have a dog now so plan to train her to sit politely on the bank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2016 I definitely feel I have improved my tying by 10 fold this year. I have learned a ton from this forum and from time at the vise and on the water. However no snook on fly.. which I didn't spend much time targeting them. And I'm not sure my little Shakespeare non drag reel would have handled a 39 incher like I landed last weekend on conventional tackle. And no peacock yet. Plans kept getting changed and a cold front forced me to wait till warmer weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
