Lightning does strike twice....keeping a log

[ivanputski]

I started keeping a log last year, not that I needed it to remember
that on oct 16 of last year I caught a 35#. So I head out to the same spot on the 16th of this year, and DRAG my buddy with me... a year later , almost to the HOUR, my lazy buddy lands a 32.5# !!! only other fish landed was by me.. a 15#. And the funny thing is its a spot that no one would ever even give the time of day to... I guess there is something to be said for keeping a log, or just having a good memory.

My log entries include: Tide, hours fished, lure/bait used, moon, surf conditions, and when the larger fish were landed. hopefully it will pay off for me next year, although I realize every year can be way different.
