Oh yeah, I know some watermen around the Eastern shore who say they catch a few each year. Don't know how big the Tarpon get, but would be fun I'm sure. I'd be happy with catching one anywhere...period. One day maybe.
Goals for 2017
-- Goals for 2017
1. Continue to improve at this game
2. Make more brookie trips (low water really killed me last year)
3. Catch more striper during shad run
4. catch a 30-40" striper in the flats of MA or NH
5. Catch a tout in another country
6. Get to Moorhead city for some false albacore
I'll be happy if the only box I check at the end of the year is I got better.

The recap thread took off way more than expected and has been awesome to read. It makes you realize how many good anglers are in the club and that most of them have experience all over the world.
I figured I'm going to start a thread with my goals for 2017 so that I can track them and see if I get any done next year. That being said, my main goal is always to fish as much as possible and enjoy every trip out (and learn a bit each time).
My goals for 2017:
- I would love to get a big drum on fly in Virginia.
- I would like to see the silver king in Virginia. I had a few opportunities to get out hunting for them and never ended up going. I'd like to just see one in person-- a rolling fish would be more than enough.- Speckled trout have quickly become my favorite fish. They eat very aggressively, feed in shallow water, love top water and are very pattern oriented. I targeted them a ton last year and I would like to continue to target them on fly. A goal for me this year would be to get one over 24 inches on fly. Bonus points if it's on topwater. This all depends heavily on Virginia not having a fish kill from the cold for the 3rd year in a row.
- Help promote saltwater fly fishing in the lower bay. I recently became a board member for Legends of the Fly. This groups purpose is to do just that by hosting a Film Tour Event and Tournament. IMO, more fly angers = more people caring about Oysters, SAVs, Menhaden, Not killing trophy rockfish, runoff and all that great stuff.
That's it for me. What's everyone else hoping to get done?
