Page 1 of 2 People ask me how I remember the details of a trip 10 years ago. The
answer is a fishing log. The following explains how I keep up with
every fish I catch in my fishing log. It will be in two parts, this
week and next. The article first appeared in Georgia Sportsman
Magazine.
Keep A Fishing Log
Can a briefcase cheapest tramadol free shipping help you catch a bass? Depends cheapest tramadol free shipping on what's in the
briefcase! If it's full of a secret lure, it might help. It can be even
more helpful if it is full of the right kind of information in cheapest tramadol free shipping a
fishing log.
I won a January Flint River Bass cheapest tramadol free shipping Club tournament cheapest tramadol free shipping at Jackson
Lake because of a briefcase. It was not a secret lure thatI carried
around in its own case. A log of past fishing trips won that tournament
for me. It is a good example of many cheapest tramadol free shipping other fishing trips that have been
more successful because of my fishing logs.
We put in at Kersey's cheapest tramadol free shipping that cold January morning.
The waterwas 41 degrees - not enough degrees to really get excited cheapest tramadol free shipping
about catching a bass. The night before, I had read my fishing cheapest tramadol free shipping logs
from past January Jackson trips. cheapest tramadol free shipping Most bass caught under similar
conditions in the past were taken on small crankbaits crawled on a clay
or rock bottom. Several keepers had been taken on a point across from
the boat ramp, so that is where I started.
When the point did not produce, cheapest tramadol free shipping I got ready to head down the lake.
I remembered a note from a couple of years back to try the bridge
pilings so I eased over to them cheapest tramadol free shipping. A four pound bass hit a cheapest tramadol free shipping white
spinnerbait fluttered down cheapest tramadol free shipping the first piling. It turned outto be the
only strike cheapest tramadol free shipping I had all day. It also turned out to be the biggest of cheapest tramadol free shipping the
two bass brought to the scales in the tournament. Would I have fished
that piling without my fishing log? Maybe. But I might have headed off
to a point at the dam that I wanted to fish and thought would hold bass
that day. I never had a strike on that point that day. I'm glad I read
the log!
Old Fishing Logs
I started fishing so young that some cheapest tramadol free shipping of my earliest memories are
of following my grandmother to local ponds, carrying a short cane pole
and a can of worms. I had an Uncle who lived in Virginia and his annual
summer trips were looked forward to with great excitement because they
meant many fishing trips.
Uncle Mayhu always had "modern" tackle - a rod and reel - and used
artificial baits. cheapest tramadol free shipping There was nothing like fishing a Hula Popper early in
the cheapest tramadol free shipping morning and then making a choice of what worm color cheapest tramadol free shipping to use - either
black or red since those were the only two colors cheapest tramadol free shipping made in the mid 50's!
Uncle Mayhu also told me I should keep up with the bass I caught and
use that information the next time I went fishing.
I still have the old cheapest tramadol free shipping snuff can note pad with notes like "June5,
1958 - Harrison's pond - four bass by stumps on red Creme worm -
biggest bass by stump with bush on top." I kept up with my fishing
trips for several years until my teenage hormones in the mid 60's made
me pay more attention to other things.
After college and marriage, fishing cheapest tramadol free shipping again became very
important. I joined a bass club in 1974 and bought my first bass boat
that year. In 1976 I started keeping up with my fishing trips and have cheapest tramadol free shipping
logged in every bass I have caught since then. It is fun as well as
helpful.
How To Keep A Fishing Log
There are many ways to keep up with your fishing. You can buy
log books with fill-in- the-blank type questions ready made on each
page. You can buy computer cheapest tramadol free shipping programs that let you type in information
and sort it. I use a cheap, simple method that works for me. Any way
you want to keep a log is best - if it works for you and you will do
it!
In 1976, I used a Coca-Cola calendar for planning my schedule
while teaching school. It was natural cheapest tramadol free shipping to start making notes on it on
the days I went fishing. The very cheapest tramadol free shipping first note I made was on January 24,
1976 and read "Sinclair - two on chrome Hellbenders on dam riprap."
That is very similar to the old logs from my youth!
This process has cheapest tramadol free shipping evolved over the years to include more detailand
information. You might want to use my methods and add your own if you
decide to keep a log. If you cheapest tramadol free shipping start one, it is easy to get used to
keeping cheapest tramadol free shipping it and making it a habit of writing down theinformation.
Each year, I try to find cheapest tramadol free shipping a calendar with large squares for cheapest tramadol free shipping each
day with no writing in them. For the past three years I have used a
calendar sent out by the NRA. I also like one with the moon phases on
it. I have tried cheapest tramadol free shipping fishing calendars in the past, those that show the
best days to go fishing cheapest tramadol free shipping, but the ones I tried did not have enough room
for my information. cheapest tramadol free shipping Anyway, I think the best day to go fishing is cheapest tramadol free shipping any
day you can!
