You're standing in your garage, packing up the car before a weekend fishing trip. You know that you really want to fish, but your not sure where. And then you realize that you have a fishing log. You see that this weekend's weather is going to be cool and windy. By going into past logs, you can see what year was cool and windy and where you caught fish. You pick out the spot where you caught fish a few years back, and it was cool and windy. Later that weekend, you're reelin' them in.
Fishing logs are great tools that can help you when you're not sure about where to fish or what to fish. Keeping track of past records can help you make the right decision and could be the difference between catching fish or not.
I recommend the computer program FishersLog. With this program you can type in your fishing logs and they will be organized and kept in one place. Then, when you have a dilemma, you can "ask" FishersLog to search logs for you and comes up with a chart to show you the best plan. Unfortunately, it is priced at $19.95. But they do offer a 7-Day free trial.

If you don't want to pay, you can use Fish Swami, which is an online fishing log. You can make a free account and submit fishing logs. It does have an analysis tool but has some disadvantages when compared to FishersLog.

Fishing logs are a great tool to have when you're not sure about something, or just want to remember one of your best fishing days ever. And there will likely be more of those after starting your logs.
