The Pacific Northwest Fishing Journal is designed to document fishing adventures in the ocean and tide influenced rivers and bays.
This journal was created by anglers for anglers. We live and fish in the Pacific Northwest. Fishing has little to do with luck and a lot to do with experience and skill. It's a science. Over time, memory isn't very reliable. This log book will provide a handy reference of where you fished, what you caught and how you caught it - from week to week and year to year.
This is the first fishing journal that can manage data from fishing multiple species using different methods in varying water systems in a single trip as well as document crab catches. It's how anglers fish in the PNW!
The Pacific Northwest Fishing Journal includes room for a lot of data. Document the information that is important and relevant to you. Each fishing trip has two facing pages to add information:
The left page includes data collected before heading out, such as tides, sunrise and sunset, temperature and barometric pressure. Below that are sections specific to the ocean, river/bay and crab pots. Enter information relevant to your trip.
Notes section - includes river sections or areas we trolled or drifted but got skunked or scored, lures or bait that weren't working, fishing reports, boat issues, and water issues. Basically anything that may hint at why fishing was better or worse than expected.
The facing page is a table to document your catches. If you have an exceptional day fishing, use an additional table on the following page.
We generally fish out of the same boat and keep this journal in the glove box. The size of this journal is convenient enough to toss in a dry bag for the drift boat, pier, jetty, beach, shore or fishing on a friends boat.
