Your boat fishing hopes dreams & ambitions for 2013?
Just wondering what everybody's targets are for the year ahead?
Personally, I'd like to catch a Porbeagle, and I've yet to catch a common skate, so that's on my list too.
Would also like to try some Bass fishing with SPs from my own boat in North Wexford.

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot

Re: Your boat fishing hopes dreams & ambitions for 2013?
Well, some decent high pressure...about three weeks a month between now and next October will do nicely.
A consistent 2013 on bass would be great...(something like 2010 or 2011 would be grand)
After that more of the usual please.....

To catch some Bass on surface lures in Dublin, and a mega days fishing in Cork during the Summer.
