Now that winter is setting in and your fishing for those very few bites, doing Christmas shopping, or those pesky winter chores I am sure you are allready thinking about next years fishing days in the warm sun. Many thoughts come to mind at this time of year for me and those are what tactic or technique do you want to get better at. For some its getting to know the sonar unit better on your favorite bass rig, for others like myself its making the effort to get to know a lake that I don't fish much or getting to know how to work swim baits better.

Some of us make specific goals for 09. Whats your thoughts as you wait for the spring time sun and longer days to come back.

I'm gonna work on fishing more reaction baits. Not over do it, but i found my best tournaments this year were done when fishing reaction baits.  Also gonna buy a few new cool swimbaits that i think would do very well, and try and find situations where they could possibly yield some kicker fish.  Depending on the economy i may even start looking for a new fishin boat latter on in 09  .

The year isn't over yet, I still need to catch my first December bass, then when the new year do arrive I'll be hungry for me first January bass.  I'll continue to learn by participating in all fish-ins, club tourneys as the time and funds allow.  Looking forward to fishing lakes I haven't fished.  Still have much to learn about my Lowrance.  Got to learn to listen to the fish, seems I need to learn when to change locations and/or techniques.

I was considering going over there for a few days in late December. I have vacationn scheduled and nothing planned. So I might make a trip to Banks.
