How To Use A Fishing Log To Catch More Fish
There is nothing more disheartening than spending hours sitting on the riverbank, soaked through by the glorious British weather, and not getting so much as a nibble. Whether you're coarse fishing on a canal or casting off the coast, keeping a detailed fishing log can turn those long, disappointing days around and dramatically increase your catch rate. Why Use A Fishing Log? Once you have got into the routine of packing your fishing journal safely into your tackle bag and noting your fishing trips, you'll soon start to spot patterns in your catches. Over time, you will slowly build up a bigger picture of your favourite fishing haunts. When you have learnt the art of patterning fish through your records, you'll learn when and where the fish are most active With the result being, you'll start catching more fish, more often! What Is A Fishing Log? A fishing log is a place to document anything of note from your fishing trips. Allowing you to identify patterns and trends that have influenced either the success or failure of your days on the water. Our A5-sized Wayzgoose Fishing Log Book includes sections to record everything from the location, bait and lures, and fishing partner(s) to the moon phase.

With our fishing log, we have made journaling easy for you, with our prompts to remind you to note the water visibility and level, and with our double-spreads' simple layout, recording the fishing trips will be a breeze. You can include as much or as little detail as you desire; however, the more you fill out, the easier it will be to highlight which elements are hindering your catch rate. Even those frustrating 'skunked' days become useful. Looking back, you may find a change in the water level, temperature or time of day made all the difference at those previously successful hot spots. A fishing log helps you recognise when certain fish are at their most active in specific areas. Once you have analysed past trip reports, you can see the patterns and how the time of the day, water conditions have influenced fish behaviour. Your new fishing log book will soon become your most valuable resource for working through hard patches and staying focused, and in turn, improving your fishing results.

The correlation of which lures were used in the murky water and what type of worm caught your personal best Carp is always exciting to analyse. What To Record In A Fishing Log In our fishing log book, you can note anything and everything you want, from the exact minute you reeled in that Barbel in the 'Catch Log', to that Heron that was stealthily stalking the shallows in the 'Other Observations' section.Here are some of the key variables we record in our fishing logs: Date & Time Location (include coordinates) Body Of Water (river, canal, lake, sea, ocean) Gear & Equipment Bait & Lures Water Visibility Weather Conditions Moon Phase Species Caught Catch Of The Day With every piece of data you record, similarities will shine through in multiple journal entries.
