Field Journal

In this section of my blog I will be sharing some of my experiences on several of my most recent fishing trips. I found that by keeping a field journal of what I experienced during the course of a day or week not only helped me put more fish in my boat during subsequent visits, but gave me the opportunity to relive the experience whenever I was so inclined just by picking up my journal and giving it a read. Give journaling a try, it’s a great way to spend some time at the end of a days fishing, or whatever you are up to and quietly reflecting back on the day’s events.
