castan, when i was night fishin' up on norfork for bass i always tried to be there 3 days before the full moon and fish all the way through and 3 days after the full moon. to me that seemed the better times than the dark of the moon.

I have kept a hunting/fishing log for over 40 years. Date, "Where & with "who", "weather conditions" and "what thing", and "how". I have 7, 3 inch ring binders filled. Sometimes I sketch in a map of the event - hot spots. Its interesting to note how patterns form yearly for fishing and up & down year cycles - where to be when for the best fish bite. I have salt & fresh water fished in many places, Alaska, NWT, C, Costa Rica, most of the states and hunted in these area's also. Its fun reading, now that I am a senior, and no longer hunt, but still fish - limited.

i bet when reading over even the old old times you remember them well. wish i'd had the foresight to have done the same thing.

I've never kept one for fishing but have kept one for duck hunting for years and there's times it really pays off....your right old if nothing else it's worth it for the memories

castan, i didn't keep one for duck hunting either but i can remember a lot of the good days even way way back when i first started around age 14 when we used live decoys. yes, live decoys. it was outlaw city where i hunted back then. it wasn't limits. it was toe sacks full. and i had it to do over i wouldn't change a thing. why is it that memories like that are very vivid and i can't remember yesterday hardly?
