What this sheet is for
See which swim, method and bait actually produce for you over a season, rather than remembering the good days and forgetting the blanks.
Who it is for
Coarse, game and sea anglers keeping their own record, and club members who have to report catches.
How to use it
- Fill in the water and your permit or ticket number at the top.
- Log a line per fish, and a line for the sessions that produced nothing.
- Write your own measurement or weight, and how you took it.
- Note whether the fish was kept or returned, and the water and weather at the time.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: What you caught and how — water, swim or mark, method, bait, species and your own measurement, with the conditions that went with it.
Your measurement, their rules. Sizes, seasons, limits and whether a fish may be kept at all are set by whoever controls the water and by the rules where you are — check those, and write your own measurement here. Nothing on this sheet tells you what may be taken.
Write-on lines: Angler · Water or venue · Permit or ticket no. · Season
Catches — a line per fish, and a line for the blank sessions too
Table, 13 rows: Date · Swim or mark · Time · Method · Bait or lure · Species · Size or weight · Kept / returned · Water and weather
Questions
Why does the sheet not give size limits or seasons?
Because they are set by whoever controls the water and by the rules where you are, and they change. Check those before you fish and write your own measurement in the column; the sheet records what you caught, not what you are allowed to keep.
Why bother logging a blank session?
Because the blanks are half the pattern. A swim that produces once in eight visits looks excellent in a log that only records fish.
