you know what would be cool..

It can be done....it would be best if it was web based that way you can gather data from the maine harbors, weather channel and the site that has the canal tides. The problem is that this log will mean nothing unless you fill in the data of where you want to fish and at what time. The fisherman who will benefit the most will be the most experienced fisherman.

A database is useless unless it has data in it...

the program can be built as a searchable database where you enter the wind direction and which way you want the wind (in your face or at your back) and the data base will give you a list of locations......SPOT BURNING without putting in your time.

it doesn't have to be web based. a non web based app can still suck info off the net as long as you are connected.

sounds like a good idea. if i had any idea how to program it i would do it.

it could also be a cool plugin to google earth

GoogleFish.

can i have your database?

I am the keymaster... are you the housekeeper???

it can be done ... but would require a tremendous amount of raw data to reflect all the variables that go into a successful hunt (time of day, tide, moon phase, turbidity, wind, presence of bait, barometric pressure, penis size, van staal or no van staal, the direction in which nancy pelosi queefs ...etc)

what you are looking for is a statistical and/or optimization model, the rudimentary building blocks of which can be programmed into MS Excel (or similar). But as I said, you'd need a ton of data - otherwise, garbage in, and garbage out.

even then, you'd be building a model that would spit out a result based purely on prior probabilities. while fish are creatures are habit, they are not robots, so you the best you can expect is an algorithm or back tested system that optimizes probabilities, not certainties.

btw, people do this all the time - not with fishing or hunting, but gaming the trading markets. it's called building a black box.

Wow ! If you were really good you could hook it up to the laptop and take it with you! Then it could tell you what plug to use and where to cast, based on the latest up to the second observations!
