2015 Carp Fishing Goals

Last year I made out a list of 2014 goals for my carp fishing exploits. I've been thinking through my 2015 goals today and have included the list below. Most people probably don't care about them like I do, but posting them here will keep me accountable for doing my best to achieve them.

  • I would like to help two or three new folks learn how to carp fish. I'd like to continue paying it forward. 
  • I hope to catch 175 or more carp in 2015. (I need to average 5 fish per session to do it, which is a significant increase in last year's catch rate. Otherwise I need to fish a few more times.)
  • I hope to catch multiple fish weighing more than 30 pounds, which would give me a new personal best.
  • I'd like to catch a small mouth buffalo.
  • I'd like to catch a koi or goldfish.
  • I'd like to catch a fish from the Raisin River in Dundee and spend a few sessions fishing the river in Monroe.
  • I'd like to catch multiple carp from Belleville Lake. I live with 2 miles of the lake, but can't seem to catch a carp from there to save my life. :-)
  • I would like to fish at least 4 times per month starting in March and ending in November. That's 36 chances at a 30+ pound fish.
  • I hope to continue developing the blog. I wrote 153 posts so far. I'd like to add another 150 posts this season with lots and lots of pictures with a few videos sprinkled in to make things a little more interesting and to add variety.
  • I really hope people enjoy reading what I write, looking at the pictures I post and just hanging out reading about carp fishing. I do it to share what I've learned because someone was kind enough to share it with me about 18 months ago and I now love carp fishing. I am hopelessly addicted in fact!
What goals do you have for 2015? I'd love to read a few of them. Feel free to post them in the comments below.
