Fishing Tips

Tip #20

I cannot stress enough the advantages of keeping a fishing log. I have been doing so since 1990 and I am always amazed when I look back to check a seasonal pattern or how we caught our fish in a certain tournament only to realize that what I remember was in most cases not accurate. Record things like lake, date, weather, technique, lure and lure colour, what time of day was best and where, structure, etc. Our memories for detailed information are short so get in the habit of writing them down. If nothing else, it makes for a good read in the middle of winter.
