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?

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