Location: Maplewood, MN | I learn when muskies on a particular lake start to turn on. Sometimes I get a great common weather pattern going for fish activity as well. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Logs will inform you of when, how, and under what conditions your successes and not so successful trips went down. Patterns will emerge if you keep detailed information for a long enough period of time. With today's information available online, cross referencing to weather conditions, moon phase, and more is easy.
I think the largest advantage of beginning to keep a log it it forces you to pay attention to the details. |
