I've fished since I was seven years old, that's 31 years. Most of my formative years as an angler, as well as many of my greatest successes, occurred long before the net became a viable "tool" to utilize.
Given that, there are many ways in which to utilize the net to your angling advantage:
1. I love google earth for reasons mostly obvious, but I’ve found many ROW’s on google.
2. Weather sites and the ability to back test many of my results due to the fact that I never kept a log, but can remember times/places, and dates. I particularly look at moon phase and wind.
3. I actually check out (reliable) people's reports sometimes as a check against my own observations, and many times you can discern B.S. reports from reality.
Although many won’t admit it, they use the net as a tool in many ways. If any of you guys with more than 100 posts tell me it’s all B.S. and useless, you will be viewed with suspicion…....
Do you use the net as an angling tool and if so, how?
