2014 Fish Count!



Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the last count for 2014 (sorry I'm barely reporting on this in the middle of January)! I had some end of the year things to write about  so I couldn’t get to the count, but finally, here it is. 

First off, two years ago (2013) I decided to keep a count of all of the fish that I caught in 2014. That year I only caught 80 fish but I ended up learning a lot about how to fish, where to fish and when to fish, etc.
Earlier this year I made the following this prediction:  

“I have a feeling that 2014 is going to be a much more productive year than 2013… I will be reaping!”

And reap I did. But you guys know this because you have been along with me for the journey. So here are the numbers for this past year.:

2014 Fish Count
Carp/ PM = 05
Pan Fish = 78
Catfish = 20
LMB = 132
SMB = 05
Trout = 11
Striper = 43
*Steelhead= 00
*Salmon = 00
*Sturgeon = 00
________________________
TOTAL FISH FOR 2014 = 294

The reaping came big time! I feel like many things paid off. I focused heavily on panfish at first and started with bass kind of late but it seemed to work out. 

Also, I got lucky with a nice striper spot and ended up getting way more that I thought I would since a couple of my spots closed. 

One of the last things I said at the end of 2013 was that I wanted to increase my numbers of Largemouth and Tuxedo bass and that I did. Just between those two types of fish I caught 175 fish.  

My Panfish numbers were also pretty good, especially since I stopped trying so much for them around the middle of the year, after I met my panfish goal.

Fish Count for 2013


This is my final fish count for 2013.

2013 Fish Count
Carp/ PM = 05
Pan Fish = 37
Catfish = 12
LMB = 10
SMB = 00
Trout = 14
Striper = 02
*Steelhead= 00
*Salmon = 00
*Sturgeon = 00
________________________
TOTAL FISH FOR 2013 = 80
*= Type of fish I haven't caught YET!

A couple of quick observations:


- I caught considerably less pikeminnows than I did in previous years. Of course, that also has to do with less striper fishing than in prior years.
- I  caught more panfish than in any other year. this has to do with the fact that I hardly ever chased Pan fish but I still caught me some pan fish. Also, My pan fish count was more than this shows as I lost count on certain occasions when we were simply slaying them. 
- Large mouth and striper count was low. something I intend on changing in 2014.

As of this moment, the count starts over for 2014!

The Count



Two years ago I began my fishing adventure after taking a few years off. Since then I have caught hundreds of fish including all the little guys that I let go without taking a picture or anything. Unfortunately I don’t have an exact count and so I can’t numerically compare year by year. Well this year I will change that. I got this idea from a guy on the Fish sniffer website. A guy had it as his signature. I think it is a great way to keep track of all of the fish I catch and compare it year by year. As of right now I have yet to go fishing and therefore haven’t caught any fish. I plan to fill these numbers up soon!

Carp = 00
Pan Fish = 00
Catfish = 00
LMB = 00
SMB = 00
Trout = 00
Striper = 00
Steelhead= 00
Salmon = 00
Sturgeon = 00
