How many of you guys keep a fishing log?

[Big Dave]

A really good friend of mine and I, have a relentless go around every winter about this topic. If nothing else, that’s about the only pattern that always seems to repeat. He is a huge proponent of keeping a log. As for me, I really couldn’t be bothered writing down all this stuff. I do however see one big benefit to it. It serves as a great reminder of the good times you have had while fishing. Or how much, or little, time you spent doing it. I have no way of ever looking back to see the days he and I had caught a couple dozen fish apiece, only he could tell me the info. Or the nights when both of us got skunked, he could tell me that too. And then there are the nights I have caught the few fish that were there, while he go skunked. It’s funny how that never made the logbook. The bottom line seems to be if you feel as though it has value then it does. For the 25 years of fishing, both with and without my friend. We both seem to do ok each year.
