I've been doing this for two seasons now and what a huge help. I write down the following:
Location.
Time.
Conditions: Including wind direction, temp, sun conditions, water conditions.
Tide: Incoming, Outgoing, Tide Times too.
Rod and Reel setup. I use different ones for different spots.
Lures, plugs, jigs, etc used.
What the fish were caught one and size and quanity/quality of the fish caught.
And any other useful information: Such as were there bunker or baitfish present, Birds working the water, Did anyone else in the trip have success.
I keep a pad in the truck and try and write down a few notes after fishing, so its fresh in my memory. Cause even if you include somethings its better than nothing. Then after I enter it in a better journal style book. |
