#ArkieAsks What are you looking forward to most next year? Got a shineee new boat to show off? Have some new baits to try? Taking out a first timer? Entering new tournaments?
Hoping to take on a new partner in my taxidermy business who should allow me to get on the lake more than the last couple of years. Once I get there, I plan on spending as much time as possible looking for new spots to troll that might have slabs that have never seen a crankbait. Once I find what I seek, it will take satellite reconnaissance to get that info out of me.
Just looking forward to and being thankful for being alive and enjoying what God has given me. Gonna try some new baits out too....Arkie of course.
I'm thankful daily for still being here. Looking forward to fishing new waters next year and making new friends and trying out new Arkie products.
Every morning I give thanks to be able to enjoy the day and meet new friends. My goal this year is to be able yto take my grandson fishing and get him hook on fishing and enjoying the outdoors instead of sitting in front of a computer. I plan on retiring this year and look forward to that.
Just getting to be there. It's a puzzle that is very peaceful and very gratifying when parts of it come together. I have seen some bad days on the water, storms, freezing temps, etc, but I don't think I ever spent a day on the water that I didn't appreciate and learn from.
I am looking forward to you joining us at the Louisiana Toledo bend gathering the last weekend of February.
Looking forward to a lot less work and more time on the water and thankful to live in a state and country to be able to enjoy the things we love to do (fishing) and a state great streams and lakes with great fishing!!!
I've got lots to look forward to this coming year.
A new boat, new rods, new reels, and new SpyderLok rod holders, that will allow me to try out spider rigging which is a new to me style of fishing. I'm excited.
My wife, daughter, old man, mom, and I will be taking a trip in late spring/early summer fishing trip down to Grenada Lake, with a visit over to Lousiana, then hopefully if things go well fishing again in Arkansas. I'm really excited about the opportunity to meet other Crappie.com members, to catch them bigguns down there, and to travel with my family.
Im also excited about getting together with our Michigan Crappie.com family for our Crappie Camps here, as well as (again if things go well) meeting the Illinois chapter at their Crappie Camp.
In December, we get to travel to florida to visit my wife's sister and her kids for christmas. By the sounds of it there is going to be some fishing on that trip as well. Lake Okeechobe is only a short distance away, and my wife told me my Christmas present next year will be a guided day trip for the fish of my choice.
Good Lord willing, next year will be full of exciting times, and good fishing.
Harassing all my favorite .com goobers lol
Give me a holler if you get to South Arkansas, I'll be glad to show you around.Quote:

This year I will focus on those people that matter most to me, and distance myself from those things and people that cause me unhappiness. I have a daughter that will re-marry in the spring and I will get two more granddaughters in the process. My trip to 'Sippi will be put off yet again this spring but I'm getting a better deal anyway. And I haven't gotten into what's up after that. So you can see that I have been treated well and have a lot to be thankful for and to look forward to. I smile more lately.
I hope for better fishing luck, so I can quit embarrassing myself with how few fish I've caught this past year.
Retired early last year, but the weather didn't cooperate to allow me to fish as much as I wanted.
This past year, I had a couple of serious health issues that kept me from fishing as often as I would have. I'm thankful to still be on this side of the grass.
Next year I'm looking forward to better weather, health, and getting out on the water as often as those two factors will allow.
... cp :kewl
I hope you get them CP.
All the help from everyone here has helped me learn to pull and push crankbaits. I now have the proper gear, B'N'M rods, R-100 holders, now have 4 batteries so I can stay out longer, and enough of the right colored bandits. So this year I hope to do better than last. And maybe add a 360 with po-dunk's holder.
My last child graduates from college next year. Instead of giving all of my money to Ole Miss, I plan to spend it on a shiney new boat!!! :biggrin
Overall I just hope to fish more and in more places. Really hope to get to one of the big 3 in MS at least once this coming year and maybe take my Dad along with me. Would also like to find someone to fish with me a couple times in my boat that knows quite a bit about single pole fishing. I fish alone and spider rig mostly because its what I am accustomed to, but its time to start learning some new tricks of the trade!!
I would like to at least have 1 fish to turn in at the weigh in
I'm going to put some miles on my new truck by visiting about 5 new lakes next year. Also hopeing my Ky crew will make it up north this summer to do some walleye fishing with me.
You are more than welcome to come fish with me @ Lake Erling anytime, single pole is my kinda fishing, stump hunting and brush tops.Quote:
