Im no "vet" but the same things repeat themselves. It gets far too redundant keeping a journal about fishing. All the while writing down specific events that you wont be able to rely on. Ive learned very little from keeping one. For the beginner I guess it might help. At the same time Id say reading a good "striper tactics" book would be a better use of time.

I don't understand what there is to work up to by keeping a journal. I know that it is to gain this greater understanding of the fishery. Or to become more "dialed in" on a specific spot etc. But I have yet to meet anyone who is at the level that most expect they will reach by keeping a journal.

If your looking for answers to puzzles or guarantees to follow you won't find either by keeping a journal. If your looking for a general overview of the fishery read a book. If you like the idea of a journal, go for it. Maybe I will just live out my days thinking this Higher Understanding wasn't attainable, yet in fact was within reach.

But I doubt it...
