When heading out to fish many anglers refer to a log they have kept for years gone by. Such logs contain categories such as but not limited to; TIDE, WIND ( speed and direction), MOON PHASE, WATER TEMP, and CURRENT. My question is what category do you value the most or is it more just a case of having a spare moment to wet a line?

I have never kept a log but I am constantly monitoring currents as well as wind direction. It never seems to add up to a hill of beans and most of my memorable nights have been the result of a spare moment. The more I think I figure out feeding patterns of a Striped Bass the more I realize I know NOTHING about them. When I think I will hammer fish I don't and when I think it will suck I slam cows.
