I have tried the log thing. I couldn't get past April before it was totally abandoned. If you fish the same locations year after year you know that certain dates mean certain things to the fish and fishing, milestones let's call them. These milestones are committed to memory not the written page. In and around these milestone dates there is usually fish to be found with locations that have direct correlations to the date. After that it's guess work and time on or in the water that make it happen.
I was and still to this day a firm believer in the notion of believing. Believing that fish are always out there and at some time of the day or night, for however a brief period, they will cross the bar and come to the beach that you have a suspicion of.
Your job after that is to find out which tide, which beach and at which time period in that tide you will find them. I have seen it as short as twenty minutes and as long as a full tide. That's what makes fishing so enjoyable. You know but you really don't know at the same time.
Obviscation at it's finest!
