I did have a spreadsheet going but then my computer crashed and I lost everything. Never started again... Had everything from moon phase to barometric pressure and everything in between. Even had graphs so I could try and work out the best times to target certain species. Really should start it again but its a couple of years befor you start to see some patterns emerging. Bit hard to get motivated to start again.

great idea y85' date=' I too would like to record my trips and catches so here is the question- Do you(or anyone on here) use a computer program to do your records?[/quote']http://www.fishsa.com/fishinglog.phpThis program has some excellent reviews, I have recently received a copy and it looks very comprehensive. Haven't had time to start using it yet.

I've mentioned this before but I have used FishLog for many years. You can backup info onto a USB or other media. If your computer crashes or you change computers/laptops you can reload the programme & not loose your previous info. You can also upload or download info into GPS units or print out all your marks amongst many other functions the programme has. Ken Fox is very accommodating should you get stuck with something. He provides a yearly tide & programme update for a small fee. Fantastic in my opinion.

How much does he charge for the fishlog? assuming you mean the one from the fishsa site it doesnt seem to have a price listed, just had contact info for the creator@op fantastic job on the log mate, wait until you land your first 40cm+ whiting land based its an awesome feeling :cheer:

Agree with kayak fisherNice to keep a brag sheet,Better to keep a log of all things fishingI agree with others xcel spreadsheet is the go. If your not computer savvy an old exercise book divided into the twelve months will do.Just write down your results with as much info s possegTides, wind direction and strength etc tc
