2016 fishing resolution.

What are some techniques you may want to get better at for the year 2016, Make you a list. Heres mine!

Get better at "video game fishing"
Just bought my first A-rig a couple days ago
Deep cranking
Shaky head ( may be a surprise, But I have never caught a fish on a shaky head)
Catch a gaint on a Big Huddleston swim bait

Last year mine was try to be a better jig fisherman and I ended up catching well over 50% of my bass this year on a jig including my PB of 8LBS 4oz. now a jig is my confidence bite!!

I want to become a better offshore, structure fisherman. I have been out with a couple of guides the last couple of months and has really helped boost my confidence. It seems my biggest problem on my own is boat control and positioning.

I want to help a lot of anglers love the sport more & build their confidence to catch more fish.

Also I'd like to keep my DD streak alive. It's 5 years in a row hoping to make it 6.

Fish more.

Fish for bigger fish...
Take the time to fish lakes big fish live in...


Get boat fixed...

mentally throwing rocks at you right now...

Same as 2015, learn and trust my electronics, learn how to fish deeper water better.

Those hurt! Lol
Here are the lakes they came from:

Squaw Creek
Ivie
Ray Roberts
Hubbard Creek
Comanche(private)

Not your typical big bass lakes. I think you have better odds of a 10lber in south/west Texas than out east.

Fish more offshore structure.

That's a heckuva streak James!

+1 I have still yet to catch a DD. Consider yourself very very blessed sir!

Nice streak! That is a cool set of lakes to do it. Now you gotta catch this next one at a different place than those five to keep it up!

Awesome comments guys keep em coming!!

My goal is to catch at least one dd on public water in 2016. Also, my goal is always to catch the biggest fish possible every time I go no matter where I go.
It's good for me to start over like nothing before mattered or happened- otherwise I get lazy!

This^^^

What guides did you use for this? Was thinking about using one myself

move next door to James Biggs

Planning of fishing less.

Relax,fish
relax fish
get the idea

Fish a few less tournament and more fun fishing days on the water.

to pick up my new to me boat, clean it up, fix it up, and get back to fishing!

Sell the boat and start hunting again.

Andrew Grills on Lake Fork and also learned a lot from Darold Gleason on Toledo. Can't go wrong with either one.

Do more fishing with Biggs

Fish more with my dad and son.

I am just going fishing. Not gonna plan out every second of it or force myself to fish any certain way. Just gonna throw what I think I need to be throwing, try to catch what bites and try to have fun in the process. No overplanning, no proclamations, no expectations except to do what I have to do to get the next bite.

To fish more. My wife's resolution sounds opposite mine though! :-)

Just do better than last year.

Win more tournaments.

Catch a limit in each tournament

Catch a $ fish in the Oakey Tourney.
Do more Wade fishing.
Keep the Bait Monkey at bay(Not sure if possible...)

Fish all 4 Bass Champs tourney and place in the $$$ each tourney!

Get redialed-in to the best of my capabilities

Give thanks to the man upstairs that he still allows me to do this at 64 yrs old. Just try to learn something I didn't know the last time out.

I plan to concentrate on catching a DD in 2016. I want to figure out Joe Pool, I am sure the DD is in there somewhere.

Spend less time at a desk and more time on the water. Visit more lakes. I didnt get my boat til the end of August, and have only had it out on JP and Grapevine!

This!^^^

Only lake I'm surprised on this list is Squaw... James your absolutely right, I lived in San Angelo for 3 years. And imo you are WAY more likely to catch a 10 there than east of dfw.

Heck when its a big bass tourney on Nasworthy its takes a 9+ to win it...
Oak creek has big fish
Hordes has big fish
When Hubbard creek has water it has quite a few BIG fish
Ivie has LOTS of big fish...

Get better at A-rigging and drop-shotting.

2 words: FISH..... MORE

Get better at fishing deep

To have good health and to fish much as possible.

to better recognize a subtle bite at least by the second time.

To learn how to calm the hell down during a tournament so my partner doesn't think I'm a crazy rage-monster.

Need to stop going into tournaments thinking I'm gonna catch them a certain way, and let the conditions tell me what to throw.

To get a DD

I am planning on throwing large swim baits a lot more next year, just have fun, and see what happens.

thanks for all the comments guys! awesome!

Cash a check in 70% of the tournaments and get better with reading my electronics!

Man i really want to fish tournaments! i think i might fish media this year a couple of times for a buddy as a sub because his co-angler might not be able to show up. but money is a little tight my wife and just moved in to a new house and bought a furniture set for the living area and bed room. so maybe in 2017 i can start fishing tournaments till then i can use the the off time to learn more lakes!

They are in that lake, I want to learn it too and do the same.

JP that is.

1. Get a truck to take the kayak out
2. More time on the water
3. Get better at jig fishing

Hope everyone achieves their resolutions!

My 2015 resolution was to fish no more than 12lb test, and then spent all spring throwing at newly submerged brush/grass with 65lb braid. I have to try my 2015 resolution again before I move on to a new resolution.

Make the elites or a classic

I'll be rooting for ya brother!

I hope to get to fish more in 2016 than last year.

Have more gratitude towards the opportunity of going fishing with the understanding that it is not a right but a privilege. May I always remember the price of freedom every time I launch my boat... sometimes I take fishing for granted.
