[font "Technical"][#0000a0][size 3]I started keeping a log about two years ago. I was fishing with a good friend and his dad. His dad kept a meticulous log of every fish that we caught. He only wrote the size of fish, color of lure, depth of fish, and the area it was caught. I didn't think that was enough information, but it did prove useful at times. [/size][/#0000a0][/font]
[font "Technical"][#0000a0][size 3]I had heard that fish were sometimes sensitive to atmospheric pressure changes so I included that information in my log when I was fishing on deep lakes. I found that my best success came on high pressure days. So I was able to learn something that I had a question about by keeping a log. I am not the type of person who keeps track of every little thing, but this is something that I was interested in so I kept a record of it. I don't let a low pressure day keep me off of the lake, but I do adjust my fishing a little to increase my odds. [/size][/#0000a0][/font]
[font "Technical"][#0000a0][size 3]I think you should keep a record of what interests you about a fishing trip. If there are specific questions that you ask yourself when you go fishing then you should have answers to those questions in your log. [/size][/#0000a0][/font]
[font "Technical"][#0000a0][size 3]Another thing that you might consider is to add a bit of personality to your log, your kids or grand kids may find your log useful for their fishing after you have gone on to the happy fishing grounds. Your log may give them a way to learn what you were like. [/size][/#0000a0][/font]
