More than anything, I would like 2011 to bring:
#1 Yakchick(my Sweetie) to recover fully from the major injuries she incurred
from a fall off a ladder.
#2 No more ER visits,hospitalizations,operations(4 between the 2 of us).
#3 Get Yakchick back in the yak by at least Humpie season
#4 Fish,fish,fish!!
Count your blessings folks.

Greetings.

My goals for 2011:
1. Learn to fly fish/cast
2. Catch a fish (hopefully from my kayak)
3. Meet fellow anglers
4. Fine tune my smoking brine, which means I need to catch fish for the smoker

1: Catch a pelagic
2: Catch a pelagic
3: Catch a pelagic
Think that about sums it up for me 

1: Catch a pelagic
...

Which one in particular?  Interested in billed fish, food fish, or both?  Ono, Mahi, Ahi?

Not too interested in tangling w/anything that has a spear attached to it's face on the kayak, though there were two nice 70+ sailfish that came up on the big island in the last week or two. First goal for me is ono, should be showing up soon, and a mahi mahi. Ahi are a bit more distant in my angling future, but it'll be fun trying!

For me my goal is to finish setting up my yak for saltwater fishing--get a sounder installed and get a downrigger setup.
Second would be to catch a halibut.(Season opens in 5 days!)
