Got a couple of good trips lined up this year.

Fiji in March with 'Bun' Burt and then Elusive Reef with Nomad in June.

No real goals (although to crack a 40kg GT would be very nice)....Just hope the weather is kind and the fish are on the bite.

Luke

I am heading to Florida in May to chase big tarpon in shallow water on fly, it keeps me awake at night :o 2 weeks guided..

So my aim is to sight cast a big Tarpon. Another aim is to have a good season on the longtails about to invade moreton bay. Its hard to quantify "good" due to weather, fish numbers and life in general. But I'd hate to get to the end of the season and wish I'd fished harder.


My GT aim is to get a 40kg specimen in SEQ.

To be at work less....

How about a 120cm Barramundi, a 30KG Spanish Mackeral, and to catch a decent Coral Trout in my local waters on a popper.

Then theres a Nomad Elusive trip in July and the ABT Barra tour in November.

To save some money - so the goal is to get the most out of the gear I have (except maybe buy a jigging reel..), focus on local destinations in my boat (not too hard as some of our local destinations are the ones people travel a long way to fish ;)) and make some lures. 

As far as GT captures go though i'd love to stop one of the buses that live up at Shoalwater.

Well I'm not sure at this point whether I'll be able to go on any trips this year as I need to buy a 4WD and save for a boat which I will hopefully get at the beginning of next year some time. I'd be stoked to crack a 40kg GT, and if that's locally then even better.

On the uncontrollable side, to get good weather and a hot bite for my trip to Bugatti  :D

On the controllable side, to learn to tie a good and fast FG knot

My major goal is to try and balance GT fishing with work and family - Like now i'm at work and all i'm thinking about is GT fishing. Tonight i will be at home and all i will be thinking about is GT fishing. To find some balance with that would be good.

This GT world has destroyed some of the things i would have been normally quite happy to discuss. So i am to at least try and sound interested when i hear people talking about fishing for snapper or flathead. (I do feel sorry for these lesser fisherman!)

Also a goal is to fashion a rod support/pad type thing. Will post some images when i start.

No 1 goal for this year is to just go fishing with mates as much as possible for whatever is available at the time ;D

No 2 is to get a bloody stickbait on the market (no it's not ready yet ::))

Catching my first GT at St. Brandons in April.

Plus:
Fishing pretty much around the clock during our 8 days live-aboard in April to try and catch Coral Trout, other Trevally-species and whatever species roam the reefs over there.
