works for me

Hey, if you want to do that, MM gave a good idea of what to put down.  I just had a young man ask me this evening if I had ever caught a Musky. Now in 40 years of fishing, I know that I have. But for the life of me I cannot remember any of the details. Northern? Oh yes. Pickerel? The things were as prolific as rabbits in upstate New York. Bowfin? you bet. But maybe a log would have been a good idea. As it was I had to pull it up out of memory and seeing how it was 30 years ago--it was a HUGE musky. It did quite well over the years. 

I thought this was gonna be a walleye thread judging my the name. opps

I have a running log that dates back to 1987. First couple years were in a notebook, now I use a log book I get from the B.A.S.S organization..Nice log book....Sure makes some patterns easier to see.....

ORIGINAL: Mountian Man

Weather, Type of fish, Bait/Lure/Rig used, Size and weight of fish, Location, Depth, Features of note (only when I first fish an area), Time of capture...

That covers it mostly...

I started doing this a couple of years ago and these are the same things I write down. I am starting to see a pattern.

I use a composition book to record my trout/salmon catches for each year. Not too detailed, just date, time, location, weather/water conditions, fishing method and catch info by species. This way I can keep track of my catches and try trend any patterns. But with 80% of my catches being stockies, you really don't need too. I just like to do it, I started it in 2001. 

Every sunday afternoon I see how much dried up blood is on the boat and how long it takes to clean off thats my first indication, then I look in the freezers and make sure a few are full of feesh. If that all works I'm in good shape the only logs I see on the weekend are the ones that go on the fire.
