Always interesting to read peoples targets for the year.

I want to try and break my personal best tally for numbers of Tope in a day.

Having hooked and lost one last year, I would love to catch and release a Bluefin Tuna if they return.

I would like to add a species or 2 that haven't caught before, maybe a Megrim or Cuckoo Ray.

What's everyone else's targets?

Species 2018 : Porbeagle Shark, Spurdog, Lsd, Coalfish, Pollack, Ling, Mackerel, Haddock, Red Gurnard, Turbot, Dab, Thornback ray, Homelyn Ray, John Dory, Pouting, Ballan Wrasse, Smoothound, Tope, Bass, Bull Huss, Weaver, Painted Ray, Bluefin Tuna

Species 2017 : Cod, Coalfish, Whiting, Poor Cod, Pollack, Bull Huss, Ling, Pouting, Bass, Flounder, Painted Ray, Lsd, Tope, Ballan Wrasse, Mackerel, Herring, Launce, Haddock, Thornback Ray, Conger, Plaice, Turbot, Grey Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Cuckoo Ray, Tub Gurnard, Dab, Smoothound, black goby, Scad, Cuckoo Wrasse, Megrim

Species 2014 : (29)

Species 2013 : (34)

More consistent fishing this year would be nice....
Plenty bass, decent pollack and a few handy cod. Lots of sharks.... Plenty trips....
