I have all mine inan Excel spreadsheet. I'm hoping that as I keep track of information, I'll be able to use the pivot tables to establish seasonal patterns andkeep track of what really is working in my tackle and fly boxes.

[JFergus7]

I have also created on using Excel but I am not happy with it. Grizzly do you mind sending the template of yours? I would like to see how you have it set up.

[grizzly_hackle36]

I'd be happy too but,... I'm not real sure how. Let me talk with the Excel guru at work tomorrow and I'll get it for you. Just a note, right now I only have the spreadsheet itself set up. I started it about the middle of last year and haven't set up the pivot tables yet because there is only about 15 lines of info. I meant to go back and transfer the stuff out of my various notebooks but haven't quite gotten that far yet.

[JFergus7]

Thanks, since you have it as an excel file just open am email and send it to jfergus@netrixllc.com, then go to the file tab on top of the email and click the attach file option. Pretty easy to do. I am just curious what you have on yours. I just created mine a few weeks ago but keep changing it every week and am still not very happy with it.

[Rebel Hog]

I do that when fishing and hunting.

I like to jot downon a ledger a few things for my own information.

1. D/M/Y,
2.Time Of Day,
3.OutsideTemperture,
4.Windy Conditions
5.Water Temperture
6. Rod
7. Reel
8. Line
Of course, I tryto record all catch sizes, weights, timeof day caught, condition of the fishing area.

I will have an idea for the next time or 6 months later. After about 3 months, you can figure a percentage on which Rod/Reel/Line/Bait, Time Of Day, Water Conditions, Water Temperature, Outside Temperature,etc.,etc.etc., caught the most fish.

[Champlain Islander]

I keep a current calendar and the last 2 years calendars posted next to my area where I hang up my ice fishing gear. Every day when I come home I post where I fished and the amount I caught. Every day when I get ready to leave I look back on the old 2 years worth of calendars to see where I fished and how much I caught. Some things are pretty much the same season over season but weather conditions can change where you find them. If I hit a hot steak on perch on New Years I usually go right back to the same place the next year and by doing it like this I usually stay on a good bite.
