Here are the notes I put in my fishing log:
Sept 19th:
In the evening 5pm, got a bucket of live shrimp with surf hook & fished under popping cork in the surf just past last bar. Caught lots of ladyfish. Water was surprisingly clear, waves near flat. Outgoing tide. Also caught one dink redfish.
Sept 20-21 2018:
Fished in evening 5-7 pm on outgoing tide. Water was sandy/semiclear. Caught mullet in the surf with net. Caught a slot redfish and several keeper trout on a 5 oz spider weight at bottom, & 2 surf hooks above it about a foot apart. Caught in 2nd gut. Waves were 1-2ft on 20th and 2-3ft the 21st
Dunno if anyone cares about this info, but I’ve decided to log all my catches so I can remember the conditions and what worked and what didn’t.

Logs are great. I kept one from 2010 until earlier this year. I might start again. No way can I remember what happen when without the log. Help to pick out patterns in where the fish might be.
