Just typing 'January trip' is exciting...

My April trip was great, but I have a couple regrets. I overplanned and underdid. SAND GRAVITY!

1. I didn't go fishing
2. I met only one boardie.

My questions:
1. What would I fish for in January, what are the recommendations as far as a fish tour/boat etc? Costs?

2. Are than any boardie gatherings in early Jan?
