2013

Happy New Year! 2012 has come and gone. We now move onto a new year, broad promises of 'change', brand new beginnings and the list goes on and on. I would tend to think most of the personal promises go unfulfilled or fade away with a few months, weeks or even days. So lets reflect back on 2012, it was a poor year for myself relating to fishing. I did not get out nearly as much as I would like. The few times I did get out on the water, the results where minimal. 

2013 Goal #1: Fish more and fish more often! Don't let weather deter, a small window in the schedule is more than enough and the grass can always wait! An idea I have to help track trips and fishing time would be a fishing log, but we'll just see about that. Perhaps this blog can facility itself as a type of fishing log. This year it WILL  be about the fishing (well to a degree)!
Potential fishing excursions: 

• Upper Delaware River (trout) via drift boat 
• Chesapeake Bay striper (charter) Spring 
• Kiptopeke concrete ships (DIY kayak) Fall 
• Montauk (Spring/Fall)

 This blog started in 2011 with, again, big dreams and high hopes. Well as you can see from my post history, it has been anything but. Laziness, life, lack of creative juices, etc..., pick any number of excuses. 

2013 Goal #2: Keep this blog relevant. In order to do this, I will attempt to post a minimum of 2x monthly. Hopefully with worthwhile, quality topics and subject matter. At this time I have no objective or goal set/angle in mind for this blog. It is a hobby, outlet and fun project I will be doing.
Ideas for "project" posts:

• "How-to" crease fly using cutter kit (versus pre-cut kit) w/ photos
• Father-son fishing
• Gavin fly tying
• 2014 fly fishing calendar "making of" or "behind the scenes"
• "Full feature" (purchase material, tie, fish, catch)
• Fishing show report (report cards) 

This particular post and listing is subject to modification as it evolves. Above is just an approach to goals for the new year as they relate to fishing & this blog. Personal improvements, self achievement and financial success are listed elsewhere.
