Fishing record/dairy
 

I was just wondering how many of you keep a dairy or record of your fishing?
When I started fishing at the age of 11 in 97 I began a record of where I
went who I went with and how many I caught. Now I still keep 1 even though I
don't go as much as I did then. Also nowadays I note down things such as
bait used, peg number, weather etc. Anyone else do this? I find it
fascinating looking back over my relatively short fishing career at what I
caught, I can even remember most trips just by looking at what I wrote!

Me also - a good way of seeing just how much my club water expeditions
really cost when compared to day tickets

Yeah I do but I can't manage a dairy at the same time. Only have the time
to jot things in my diary. ;-)

I started with a diary in 1992 when I started fishing, I have since
transferred all the dates in too a spread sheet including, weather, bait,
tactics, fish caught, the weights, methods, even water temperatures + peg
number and area of the swim I fished................Now if I am going
fishing I look it up in Excel, see what worked in the past for time of year
and species and use the information and get a great days fishing guaranteed.

Well worth the time and effort!

I am a software developer and have half written a program for this (not for
monetry gain) would you be interested if a kept it up. I was thinking of
writing for a palm pilot then it could be accessed on the road. If, like me
you get to a venue and it doesn't feel right it would be good to access this
sort of info. ps it would be free!

Excel is good as it can be imported into all handhelds.
