| Do you log your fishing trips with info such as date, time, weather, pressure, wind speed and direction? |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | Allot of guys will remember when we used to record every detail by date. Then combine 3 years worth of records into a "superlog" and then two superlogs into one "book of Little Known Knowledge" all of that by hand writting, no computers back then....There were even days in the winter when several of us got together and shared our notes openly!! Can you imagine that? Some of even took notes at those sessions. Now in the day when almost all the information a guy needs is on the internet everybody has secrets. Ha Ha |

Location: Smith Creek | I've found logs to be terribly unreliable when trying to duplicate success year to year.
I can provide many more examples of wasted time chasing "historical" bites than them paying off.

| For some reason, some of the fishing holes near us are very productive during certain months. And, some fishing spots can only be reached at certain water levels. The main rivers around here are dam controlled, so they may be running anywhere from 3 feet to 25 feet deep. I keep a log and use it, as well as a water level website, to keep up with the spots that I can get to with my boat. And I use the log to keep up with which spots are most productive under different conditions. Since I fish 12 months out of the year, I find the log to be very helpful. If we only had a short season to fish, I probably wouldn't mess with the log. |

Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | In 2011 I started a blog about fishing Muskies and and anything I can think of related to Muskies and it has become a chore!
Every trip I blog on what I was throwing, weather conditions, what lake, and write as much info as I can remember. As of lately though it's become of bunch of stories of a guy getting skunked.

Location: Kronenwetter, WI | Used to log every outing, now only log action. Mostly to look back and find locations and presentations that worked under similar conditions in past years. |
