Noticing patterns of fish behavior is important to consistently catching fish. Document your Efforts
I have been collecting data in my fishing log spreadsheet for the last three years. My dad has been logging his catches every year since the late 60s. I keep track of everything from bait or lure used, weather, water temperature, and stomach contents of filleted fish. Fishing is a lot of luck, but there is a definite science to it.
Start keeping track of what you catch, when and where you caught it, retrieval speed and most importantly how. Then I can refer to that information when I'm trying to catch fish at a later dates and improve my chances. Keeping a log like this blog or just in a notebook will reward you with better fishing.
