Re: FISHING DIARY
I like the idea but in all truth I don't think it is as good as it sounds. Personally I keep notes and so do my friends we sometimes compare notes and such because we are often not on the water at the same time. However I don't think comparing the trip up north to one down here would even begin to be the same even if you were looking at the same species and such. From what I personally know fish don't react the same to similar conditions in Canada as they do here because we have higher average temperatures and such. For example for the winter the water temp averages around 50 but in northern states things happen when it goes back up that high from a low winter temp of somewhere just above freezing. Pre spawn is a longer less organized pattern than it is up north with water temps rising in the south over a period of months like it does in a week up north. This is just one of many things that make the fishing different between the two areas. Also when you look at species we have you don't and vice versa you have a big difference if you just look at forage species and what they are doing which can affect the predators in different ways. Perhaps if we made it less broad and more regional it might do some good but only if folks actually take the time to post the good info.
