So, did anyone achieve all their targets for 2009?
I ended up disappointed with mine. I didnt get a double, but did manage a couple of bigger fish than i usually catch with a Conger early in January from Llam Carw which was just under 7lb.
I had fun on the boat trips during the warmer months, and although i didnt get anything massive, i was happy with this Huss which was about 7.5lb.
My target changed during the year and i decided i would try and catch 30 species for the year.
With 2 days left im on 28 and although im sure i could get another 2 if i tried, i just cant be bothered!
There are a few "easy" fish which i should have had but havent including Thornie, Bass, Coalfish and Shanny but ill be back with more enthusiasm in the new year.
Ive had a few new species this year including Tope, all be it tiny!
Back Bream
and Red and Grey Gurnard, all thanks to some fantastic and memorable trips on Suveran II
and a Goldsinney Wrasse from Amlwch Breakwater
I won the clubs Winter league early in the year, and it looks as though ive managed to win a couple of trophies that ive been after for years, for the most specimens both inside and outside club waters.
Tom set me a couple of targets for him this year, although he won both Junior titles ( Winter league and Summer League ) he really wanted to catch a Bass and a Dogfish this year.
His first Bass came in one of the junior summer league matches at Benarth,
which he followed up with a smaller one from Splash Point.
A trip to Tan Lan in September resulted in plenty of Dogs including his best fish to date which weighed 2-09-08 and puts him in line for several trophies from the club,
So all in all a great year, great times with great people new friends and old, and im looking forward to much more of the same in the next 12 months!
Happy new year everyone and tight lines for 2010.
