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.

Pete said it for me  ;D, although :-\ adding a Jigging trip to White Is [NZ] would be nice ;)

Catch my first Gt, 20kg plus would be nice. I'm heading to Samoa in April for a full year.

Hopefully get to know the locals and they might show me around the place and help me out with this goal.

A Yellow Fin Tuna on popper and Dolphin Fish would be great also.

Getting a few waves would be great also

This year I'm keen to have another run in with several GTs that left me for dead in 2008 - all well above 70kg....maybe one was over 80kg. Truly amazing stuff - the holy grail for a GT fisherman.

Aside from GT fishing...
Hope to nail a 50kg+ YFT on stickbait...
A Wahoo of any size on stickbait or popper...
A Dolphin Fish/Mahi Mahi over 25kg on stickbait...

Cauht my first Bonefish on fly 3 weeks ago and have been fishing for tarpon every night so I want to crack 80lb tarpon on fly and an 8lb bonefish. Got 3 months before the boat goes through the Panama canal and up to San Diego so might try for a 80lb rooster on a popper too.

50kg gt (got my 40kg model last year)
60kg+ Dogtooth on jig (trolled 50kg but that does not count)
And like many others, hope to broaden to include more species on popper and jig especially large pelagics.
Have enough gear.......hang on might be wrong about that.
Good luck to all.

Hi All Earlier on in this thread I said that my goal for 2010 was to catch my first GT.Well on a trip to New Caledonia last month that is what happened.Fishing with Eitenne Picquel & crew around the Ouano & Nekweta for 4 days I managed to catch my first two GTs.The fishing was very slow & we had to work hard for any fish raised,but it all paid off in the end with two fish that I am extremely happy with.My goal now is to get back again in 2011 & get some bigger ones.Cheers Michael.
