NateFollmer Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 I keep records with Catch Notes on my phone (it's not meant for fish... it's just a coincidence that they call it Catch Notes haha). For fish, I log length, lure, presentation, any cover/structure that really sticks out, current (if I'm on the river) and any baitfish or craws I see in the area (if there's a bunch of them). For trips, I log weather (todays and yesterdays), number of fish caught, temps, and water clarity. The good thing about using Catch Notes is when you take a photo to attach to the note, it keeps the GPS data attached (which the phone does by default anyway). Quote

X2 Mine is called voice notes, but its the same thing. What I did was put a piece of paper in the tackle box with some notes on it so I remember what to say into the phone. Quote

Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted December 31, 2010 Super User Posted December 31, 2010 I admire you guys that keep accurate records. I've tried and just can't keep up on it. I'll just keep records in my mind and hope for the best. Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted December 31, 2010 Super User Posted December 31, 2010 If I were to keep records I would record them either using a small tape recorder or smart phone voice memo. Quote

Hamby Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 If I were to keep records I would record them either using a small tape recorder or smart phone voice memo. That's a good idea. You could give a quick explanation of each fish...or just a summary every few hours, then write down what you need later. Quote

MFBAB Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I use a notebook to write down the lake, weather, water temp and in general the high points of the trip from memory, sometimes I don't get around to it until a few days later. The big payoff comes when I add it to the master log I keep in the puter right before the new fishing season starts, it's always neat to have a reminder of what you were doing at that time last year or previous years, lake levels, what worked where, etc. It's also interesting to see how fuzzy my memory of those old trips can be when I read what actually happened compared to how I remembered it Quote

red team rn Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I carry a small pocket tape recorder on a tether around my neck and record everything that I think is relevant to that days fishing . I transcribe the info that night when I get home. This the best way I have found to rtecord the info without loosing much fishing time. Try it , You'll like it. Quote

CAdeltaLipRipper Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I recently got this for that http://www.fishnotes.com/screenshots.html GPS marks the spot when u click fish on, you can record video audio or take a picture, mark fish length and weight,add what lure you caught it on,what species,what lake,what structure, weather conditions and tide conditions automatically marked from your gps sattelites,and it does much more.Has moon phases and best times to fish on it.
