    Default Crappie Journals-Do you keep one?? What Info??


    I have been keeping one for seven years and feel it is worth the time and effort. Anyone else keep a journal and if so, what information do you record??

    I'm going to start this year. I made up and printed some sheets for a notebook, with places for date, location, time, lure, depth, water temp, and conditions. Gonna scribble it in a pocket pad and log it when i get home...izzy

    I started back in 1982. Date, quantity, lure weight, lure, head color, body color, line size, depth, temp, water temp, wind, structure, location, ect. The journal helps if you don`t fish real often. It works from year to year. The locatin may change but everything else stays the same.

    Since I started night stalking I started one back in January of this year. I record date, time fished, quantity of fish caught, weather conditions, water conditions, and any comments including who went with me, depth fish caught at, water depth fished, the place I set up at, etc. Maybe next year I can reflect back on the journal and find where I caught fish as the conditons change. We'll see.

    I have been keeping one for about 4 years now. I list the lake level, location date, time of day, water temp, number of fish caught, weather conditions, barometric pressure, lure, moon phase, and any other comments I have about the day.
